    Recommended by boardsies ahead of EP 2017 and they were one of my highlights. B&S stage in the lashing rain, early AM....

    Missed them at The Academy so glad to have got tickets this morning. I believe they have sold out the Albert Hall in London - great venue to see them.

    Are they on sale already? I can't get them on TM - or did you get them on a presale?

    Ah FFS! I had it in my head they were going on sale tomorrow morning.

    Also, when did they become so popular? Didn't think they would sell out so quick. It's a big jump in capacity from Academy to the Olympia

    The Olympia hasn’t sold out. Still tickets available (on ticketbastard).

    Haven’t seen them since the Button Factory gig.

    Thanking you! I checked on the app an hour ago and I couldn't get tickets, but logged in on my laptop now and see them.

    Just got 2 tickets :cool: I went for circle seats....feeling old :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭whelzer


    Very odd - I know 4 people that could not get tickets this morning. They all got sorted this evening. Could tickets be released in batches/blocks?

    Patiently waiting for stage times...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,879 ✭✭✭yosser hughes


    I'm looking forward to this! So does anyone have any idea of times? I'm guessing 8?

    Really looking forward to this now!

    What can I say...

    First time seeing them...that was superb. Uplifting.

    Hope they're back again soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭Mrs Shuttleworth


    Pity it clashed with the rescheduled Tears for Fears.

    Promoters don't seem to get there's a crossover audience for so many gigs.

    First time seeing them live. Incredible gig. Really enjoyed it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 982 ✭✭✭Dick Turnip


    That was a superb gig. Have been listening to them for years, saw them in The Academy last year but had a **** view. Was in The the circle tonight with a great view. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I just love them. Love the concept, love the instrumentation, love the nostalgia, love the live visuals.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,879 ✭✭✭yosser hughes


    I really enjoyed it. It's such a great concept. It's really gives you a sense of how much has been accomplished by mankind and also the challenges of relentless progress.
    That;s a bit garbled, I'm probably not expressing myself well there, but anyway, great gig, I'd recommend it to anyone to go and see them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,654 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    Because the music defies categorisation, I think anyone would appreciate their show, even if you had never heard any of the albums beforehand.
    I was particularly pleased that we got Signal 30. It's not something they've played much recently.

    I really hope they play Signal 30 tonight in Belfast. This time last year they played almost identical sets in Belfast and Dublin...the only difference was Dublin got Signal 30 and Belfast didn't...

    Great gig, good mix in the setlist

    It was a nice rare feeling that at 30 I'm bringing the average age of the crowd down :pac:

    At 47 I was thought I was doing ok for the average....maybe not!

    Great gig altogether, another couple of songs would have been nice, really enjoyed "London Can Take It", yer man was fairly emotional with the mention of facisim/brexit before "Spitfire".

    I would happily go see them again tonight!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,468 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    Slightly different setlist and set order tonight in Belfast. It was amazing and the crowd lapped it up! Great show!

    Slightly different to the Dublin set.

    Note: the first two songs are the wrong way round.
