Grabbed my early access tickets this morning, no hassle for once! Never been to a gig in Trinity, very curious.

moff13 · 30-01-2019 10:47am

Never got my presale code after ordering the album no replies from Foals support. So disappointed

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 30-01-2019 10:57am

Yeah I didn't get a code either. Will try again on Friday

fourmations · 30-01-2019 11:50am

It's not I'm afraid, earlier poster tried mine. If you're looking for tickets for somewhere other than Dublin or Amsterdam you're welcome to mine (seems to work for every venue once so far)!

Love it. Both songs sound perfect for live sets to me too.

ghostdancer · 26-02-2019 2:11pm

another new one, bit of a tempo change after 3mins :eek:

ghostdancer · 08-03-2019 9:56am

MadYaker · 08-03-2019 7:34pm

The album is amazing.... 52 quid eh?

ghostdancer · 08-03-2019 8:08pm

it's brilliant, more like Antidotes/Total Life Forever than the last 2 albums. quite dance-y/groove-y.

davywalsh7 · 10-03-2019 3:24pm

Was gonna bring my 16 year old brother to this but just seen it’s over 18s. Anyone ever been to trinity gigs before? Are they strict on it?

MadYaker · 10-03-2019 8:19pm

If he's with you and it's just the two of you id say it'll be ok

Lofidelity · 30-06-2019 9:42pm

Any idea of stage times for Tuesday?

hots · 01-07-2019 10:06am

Glastonbury set looked great. Hope Jimmy recovers ok :eek:

Hurrache · 01-07-2019 11:16am

I watched their set and I originally thought his white t-shirt had red print or ink on it. And the more I watched, the more it was obvious blood all over him. As you say, I hope he's in good shape to rock it tomorrow.

fourmations · 01-07-2019 4:06pm

Caught the last couple of Yak songs in Amsterdam, seemed decent enough.

After a bout of googling them, I'm now an expert on the hairy little creatures, not so much on the band!

Please Enter Trinity College Park via Lincoln Gate and Science Gallery Gate. There is no access via Front Archway or Nassau Street.

ie. the Pearse Station side, opposite end to the College Green side of Trinity.

is that on the left when you walk from Pearse towards the garda station?

Hurrache · 01-07-2019 4:57pm

So where is the actual gig on, the Pavilion? You could stand outside the wall or get a good seat upstairs somewhere on Nassau Street.

Can't work out from this where it is

the Science Gallery gate is I think, yes. Either that or directly opposite the train station entrance, as there's a small gate there.

the Lincoln Gate is up the opposite end of that road, beside where Kennedy's pub is.

I'm sure someone who went last year will clarify, but yeah, that appears to be the Pav, as I'm pretty sure that's Nassau Street behind the stage (specifically the Kildare Street junction): https://goo.gl/maps/VoxM4BP2kkvimr3Q6

Probably hear it well enough, but wouldn't see anything obviously.

Hopefully they come on at 9 , as ill have to leave about 10.30 to grab the 11.10 train home

Think the curfew is 10.30. Reports from last night was it was tough to get out so maybe be ready to head for the exit at the end of the encore.

Just chilling in the office blaring Foals out of my speakers before i head to the gig:pac::pac:

NeonWolf · 02-07-2019 11:05pm

the ***** came on stage early !!!!! I was legging it from pearse Street. Still not sure how many songs I missed

shamtastic · 02-07-2019 11:16pm

Fantastic gig! Exceeded expectations, I wasn't mad for their last few Dublin gigs but tonight was class. Crowd were in great form, they could have played pretty much anything and a mosh pit would have formed it was a real party up the front! The band fed off it, as they said themselves there can be a comedown from Glasto after such a great weekend but they clearly enjoyed it. Providence was song of the night for me, a song I completely forgot about but it really moved the gig up a gear from their onwards.

Hurrache · 02-07-2019 11:30pm

Fabulous alright. I shifted to the front of the crowd for the night and it was some craic. Mosh circles, crowd surfing, manic bunny hoping, just a euphoric Tuesday night.

Foals just have an amazing capability through the live performance of their songs in getting you going. Their recordings are brilliant, but live they always manage to take them to another level. Yannis at one point checked with the stage managers as to how long they have left, before belting out 2 Steps, which the crowd at front anyway were baying for.

davywalsh7 · 02-07-2019 11:35pm

Absolutely brilliant gig. Crowd and band on top form. Bar and toilet queues a bit long at times but the gig was class

fourmations · 03-07-2019 12:08am

Yeah great gig, long term fan, seen them lots of times, such a great live band, no disappointment tonight, nice surprises on the set list, love the old stuff

Beer queue was scary before they came on but ok after that, ditto for the gents jacks

hots · 03-07-2019 8:55am

Absolutely wrecked this morning but well worth it, best gig I've been to in years and so different to other times I've seen them! Managed to get to the very front and even held up the great man himself, unreal.

BangBeater · 03-07-2019 11:02am

That was a great gig! 1st time seeing Foals. Yannis has some energy/voice. Crowd were well into it.

Thought set list was superb... Very little let up in music. Even mixing in a few songs at start. Trinity is a nice venue too.

Very little hassle getting in and out.

Heading Saturday for Stereophonics
