Got my presale tickets today. Mother of God, can't wait for it.

Vicar Street is the perfect venue for them.

Yeah a very unappealing venue for sure a kip, easy to get to though 10-15 mins walk from O' Connell bridge along the quays or/ just around the corner from the Smithfield luas stop.

Don't recall issues with sound any of the multiple shows so it has does have that going for it I guess, have they not gotten rid of that pillar in the centre still?

I see Evergrey are down to play there in October.

Was there last time I was in for gig so I'd image its still there.

Ah sure i suppose it will do for Less Than Jake

Should be good craic

It's grand for what it is, a cheep enough room to rent for gigs, it's deceptively big inside but you'd probably wanna hope it doesn't sell well the place turn's into an absolute sweatbox when full. black walls,no windows and the door is as far away from the stage as possible and will likely be shut. Sound is by hit or miss depending on who sets is up can be anywhere between okay and truely awful bordering inaudible.

Was looking forward to seeing Jimmy Carr in Castlebar or Sligo in October/November (not many acts I'd care to see venture out west) but seemingly his Irish tour has been moved to next May. Was this really necessary? Surely we'll be well clear of the woods in 5/6 months?

He has lots of UK dates which have been moved to Oct-Dec (most originally from autumn/winter 2020, but some from around now too).
A few seem to have been cancelled outright too. Moving so many dates is a logistically nightmare as some venues may already be booked for other acts on random dates, and it makes no sense to be criss-crossing the country every few days.

i would take nightclubs and smaller venues open first before festivals. Any word on nightclubs ? i heard leo varadker mention normality in August surely that means the club scene opening?

Dropkick Murphys gig would be a laugh id say

Yeah, the continued reluctance to back up the positive Summer vibes with some form of indemnity scheme tells it's own story. Bad news for all of us.

Guess cost would be very high so even if chance is slim its still a gamble. But not sure why government are talking up a summer when of festivals when insurance is one of the biggest logistical hurdles and in their control.

The Nal wrote: »

Its the main hurdle really. Set up, get the bands and all the vendors and the police and medical etc and then a week before we go into lockdown again. Would bankrupt most festivals.

The solution they've implemented, either by mistake or intentionally, is the (unknown %)grants (Perf Grants Covid) they've offered promoters to cover most costs. But of course, the promoter would need an incentive, more than just breaking even, to put on a show, so costs alone are not enough (and possibly its only a PERCENTAGE of costs) . They would need a profit (especially if only receiving a % of costs) of some kind, hence the govt WILL HAVE TO ALLOW SHOWS THIS SUMMER, but with a % of capacity.

For those who say "wow, free money to the promoter, think of it this way. While all other similar industries, very much including VENUE OWNERS, received different overhead financial supports (i.e expenses or benefits eg, no rates or whatever it may be(ie, other than the wages subsidies) self employed or freelance promoters, musicians, tech folk, dancers, actors, performance arts in general, received NOTHING, other than the wage subsides or PUP. Specific projects here and there may have, but not the industry as a whole.

ETA: I'm making it a comparison to other self employed folks, in different businesses, like retail or, well everything not art) which due to their nature, happen to be in one place (are paying rates to qualify) who are receiving aid, because they are seen as "real businesses," not like those layabout arty types.

That's a huge venue for them. I know they played there before supporting the Pogues, but it's some step up from the Ambassador/Academy/Vicar St considering the new album and last couple aren't exactly best sellers.

The Interrupers supporting are an interesting choice.

Yea bit of a surprise they are doing Arenas but ill be picking up a ticket either way, havent seen them in about 10 years ago in the Olympia (which was unreal) so id say it will be a good gig plus its on a Friday which may help sales a small bit.

Still no confirmation that its back in the RDS or not? But surely the fact they say tickets are valid for the new date must mean its still in the RDS

EDIT: Ticketmaster have it as the RDS

Yea I'm loving the new stuff, it's definitely different to the other albums but they have a great disco/dance vibe which will sound great live.
