December 20th. Im there!

MCD

qz · 01-09-2005 10:27am

Finally I'll get to see them! Thanks!

acquiescefc · 01-09-2005 11:55am

45 euro+...knackers to that

Ro: maaan! · 01-09-2005 5:12pm

Mmm... We'll be lucky to hear anything even from The Colour And The Shape, let alone Self Titled. Suppose I'll go.

qz · 01-09-2005 5:13pm

As long as I hear Everlong I'll sleep soundly.

Sauron · 02-09-2005 8:16pm

I was a bit disapointed with their Slane Performance a while back but I think I will end up going as I do like their new album... the Colour and Shape is one of my all-time favourite albums and It'd be great to hear a lot of material from it played live..

Geiger · 02-09-2005 9:40pm

Cool, should be good.

susanna · 03-09-2005 4:02pm

I'll be there

Geiger · 03-09-2005 8:21pm

Any word/rumors on who is going to be supporting em?

carpothepunk · 03-09-2005 8:50pm

the futureheads and the eagles of death metal confirmed

Gonzolas · 03-09-2005 11:21pm

What will this be like. The crowd I mean, I love rock gigs and moshing but Foo Fighters are almost bordering on pop music.

For shame gonzolas. I hope to not see you there.

I saw them a few years back in the point and I think the smaller venue (opposed to Slane) suits them. It was a great gig and the few random strangers I talked to were very decent folk.

I can't imagine things would have changed too much in 3 years.

Gonzolas · 03-09-2005 11:25pm

"Decent folk" though, I don't want to go to a gig and sit around having a chat over a nice cup of tea, I want to do some serious moshing. I'm just asking a question.

Creamy Goodness · 04-09-2005 12:03am

i was at the foo's like the last time they played the point there was plenty of "moshing".

I think EODM are plaing in Las Vegas that day.

Attol · 04-09-2005 2:33pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! How dare they do this to me! I want to see them again so bad. I saw them at Witnness 2002, Their gig in the Point in like 2002 (or whenever it was) and at Slane 2003. They're so damn good live but I won't be able to get to Dublin for then. *weeps*

Jonny Arson · 04-09-2005 6:30pm

Planning on going to see the Foos myself. I liked their Oxegen performance but the new songs just didn't do it for me. Hopefully they will play a greatest hits set to make the money worthwhile.

Last time they played here they gave every album a fair look in. Expect "Everlong", "Monkey Wrench", and two of "For All the Cows", "Big Me", "Alone & Easy Target", "I'll Stick Around" to be played, if not more.

Everlong and Monkey Wrench, yeah. But I've heard them so many times now. Would love to heard some other songs from The Colour And The Shape. Can't see them playing anything but For All The Cows and possibly This Is A Call from ST album. I'd love to hear everying from the first two albums really. Not so bothered with the rest.

the flananator · 06-09-2005 12:22pm

There is a rumour going around that the gig has been cancelled, as it is no longer on the ticketmaster website. Could someone please confirm this?

Mr Rivers · 08-09-2005 1:34pm

Yeah, i've noticed it too, it aint on mcd or ticketmaster anymore.

susanna · 10-09-2005 8:09am

Nothing coming up on Ticketmaster, what's going on?

logistic · 10-09-2005 8:14am

Anyone know what the situation is with the gig. Was told the tickets go on sale today at 9? No listing of it on ticketmaster?

seanironmaiden · 10-09-2005 11:55am

ticketmaster say tickets are onsale next saturday. it wasn't advertised at all really was it?

Evil Sausage · 10-09-2005 1:08pm

I wouldnt be half surprised that they pushed back the for sale date to accomdate a pre-sale for Foos fans. Something they've been doing for all their dates so far it seems.

That could explain all the different sale dates that they're talkin about over on the Foos message board. Next Thursday maybe the pre-sale date. And next Saturday the public sale date.

And did anyone else notice, Weezer are supporting them in the 2nd Earls Court date in London, the gig before the Dublin show? Possibility of a Foozer show in Dublin.

Mr Rivers · 10-09-2005 3:49pm

But if it's pushed back for a pre-sale then there'd still be mention of it on mcd.ie but there aint. It just dissappeared $:\$

fearcruach · 10-09-2005 5:44pm

Its ok. Went to my local ticket dispensing outlet and they said that the tickets will be on sale next friday. Something went wrong and ticketmaster weren't really informed about it. People were ringing them this morning and they confirmed the tickets will be on-sale on friday. Hopefully. So breath easy.

Evil Sausage · 11-09-2005 11:40am

Just because its not mentioned on MCD, doesnt mean its been cancelled. Ive seen this happen before a couple of times before. Things pop up, then disappear. A few days later they pop up again.

Id say MCD jumped the gun and when the Foos HQ saw they had publicised it without their consent, they probably had to bring it down.

They'll be hear in December.

Evil Sausage · 13-09-2005 8:57am

Heres the confirmation from mcd, tickets on sale Friday:

susanna · 13-09-2005 3:09pm

Great, I'm not here

November 27th 2001.

They were awful at Slane, magnificent in 2001. What were they like at Oxegen? My fear is that they're hit and miss live. Whoever was asking about Everlong - they'll play this as their last track before the encore - they always do methinks.

Also I went into town for the tickets on the Saturday morning and they kindly told us we were six days early - I wasn't a happy pappy. How much are tickets anyway? - I never checked.

Ro: maaan! · 13-09-2005 7:22pm

Tickets are €44 before charges/fees.

They were solid at Oxegen. The old songs sounded fabulous but I wasn't overwhelmed by the new material. If the point gig consists of alot of new material I fear it may not be great.

What exactly do they mean by presales? will we be able to buy them online on thurs?

.ak · 13-09-2005 9:15pm

Sold!

Ro: maaan! · 13-09-2005 10:07pm

It's on the same day as Blondie anyway, so won't be there.

susanna · 14-09-2005 12:50pm

The presale is for people who have signed up to the Foos mailing list. I've just got the email, presale tomorrow from 9am to 5pm

logistic · 15-09-2005 8:20am

Anyone manage to get pre sale tickets. My link isnt working anymore?

Ciaran* · 15-09-2005 8:26am

The presale works if you keep trying. You can even get to it from the main page.

*edit* They've just password protected it.

wes · 15-09-2005 8:32am

Ah just managed to order mine there

. Yeah Jammyness!!! Got confirmation email as well.

susanna · 15-09-2005 8:45am

After six tries I eventually got them

Zapho · 15-09-2005 9:11am

This is fantastic! Although, I wonder if I'm gonna have the time to see them in Dec.
They were excellent at Oxegen, love their new songs. I've watched some of their indoor gigs, and they seem to put on better show, so I'd say definately expect a quality gig in the point

wes · 15-09-2005 9:13am

Saw them at Witnness and Slane a couple years back and I taught they were fantastic both times. So I reckon the gig will be a good time

.

Dr4gul4 · 16-09-2005 8:20am

Did anybody manage to get tickets for the left and right balcony's this morning, all that they were offering were the back

logistic · 16-09-2005 8:26am

During the pre sale you were able to get tickets for the left balcony (block E) but i havent seen on sale for the right balcony (block C)

Ive been trying to get right balcony (block C) tickets with no joy. I havent seen them on sale at all. Have anyone else been able to get them??

Dr4gul4 · 16-09-2005 8:33am

yea dat's also annoying i was signed up to there mailing list and didnt get an e-mail with the password

mickymg2003 · 16-09-2005 6:11pm

Got my tickets today.no problem.But im down with the rest of the commoners in the standing area.no fancy balcony for me!!!I thought they would have sold out by now.

Pitseleh · 16-09-2005 6:53pm

Now I may be missing something but I figured the standing tickets were the "good ones" - bit more atmosphere and stuff, no? Personally I'd go with the ol' standing ticket every time

snickerpuss · 17-09-2005 1:27pm

^
Same here.
Can't wait to go again, they were great in the point in 01, but pretty dodgey at oxegen but hopefully this time they'll be good again.

wes · 17-09-2005 1:46pm

Gotta agree with the lads there, the standing tickets are fair more fun.

Foo Fighters Point gig!
