Feels like the right time to start a new thread for next year's gigs.
John Mayer playing the 3Arena on 29 March 2024.
Great gig, support band (Ten Hail Marys) was decent too. Is there anything better than a band with a proper rhythm and lead player who both know what they’re doing? Wild Horses just an epic song. Did 14 songs, really impressive overall. Suppose it’ll be on to their debut album after this and who knows where that’ll take them.
Had a few t-shirts and posters at the merch table
Missed last 2 shows....post here if yea hear of a Dublin date or others around the country please
Friend of mine is going to see her in Edinburgh. Her mate is travelling over from Singapore to the gig and didn't want to be at it alone so is subsidising the £700 ticket.
Back in the not insanely priced world which I've been keeping an eye on - Dweezil Zappa has just announced a US tour for the first time in four years playing his genius fathers music but no European dates yet. D.R.I (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) seem to be playing mostly Central Europe for their 40th anniversary tour so looking very unlikely they will be here.
Great to get a recommendation for Cinder Well. I like the little I’ve heard but I’m really going along on the recommendation of pals.
Arborist I caught a few years ago supporting Seamus Fogarty and he was really good. This time he’s got a band with him and it could be very good. Kim Deal played and sang on his debut album 7/8 years ago so that’s one hell of an endorsement.
Taylor Swift wants a word...
Not sure what is the record for grossing show there? Eagles maybe?
You can get a whole music festival for those prices...
Absolutely crazy prices. Are they the most expensive gig tickets here this year/ever? Madness
Guessing they'll play Dublin too, I'll keep an eye out.
The last two shows here were fantastic. I think the Philophobia one was last year.
Great band.
You'd be surprised.
I really hope this doesnt sell out because otherwise these prices will become the norm soon.
€345 for seats that are eleven rows from the front of the tiered seating...
Nobody is going to pay that, its bizarre.
Didnt realise the capacity of the 3Arena was 20k.
If you fancy something a bit delicate, Cinder Well and Arborist both decent aswell, Arborist supported the Delines last time they were over and I caught 3 or 4 songs from Cinder Well at EOTR, very nice.
Flyte and Madison Cunningham have just announced a pop up gig in Workmans this day week. Cunningham is over here supporting John Mayer. https://twitter.com/singularartists/status/1770859048914600141?t=7ELS9TEJR0LDPJZxT5QNRg&s=19
Best seats now €345(+fees). Crap seats €270...they've got what they looking for and they're coming for more.
Havvk/ Shark School
Jane Weaver
Sprints/Chalk
Coach Party
And check out Basht for the midnight freebie tomorrow though it could get very busy.
Have a great one, and feedback please. Feels like these guys are on a roll so I’ve no idea why they’re doing a small (and free) midnight gig at the Róísín tomorrow. Some other decent bands have played that slot recently but Basht have more buzz and could probably sell 100-150 tickets. Hopefully their merch stall does well. I’ll be at it if there.
Hi,
I'm living in Galway. I like Merc Rev, Weddos, Fontains DC, Lemonheads, BDB, Sinead (from 1st list). Like indie, likes of The National, Pixies, Smiths, Cocteau Twins, MBV etc.
From this list & based on above which would you recommend from below please?
Coming up are Muireann Bradley (€16), Sprints/Chalk (€14), Cardinals (€10), Cinder Well (€17), Bluetones (€22), Basht (free), Coach Party (€6, half-price), Havvk/Shark School (€12), Jane Weaver (€23), Cass McCombs (€21), Arborist (€11) and Miles Kane (€24).
Yeah think he has a sold out 3 arena show tomorrow. So it is a good grab for cork for venue 1/4 size
Off to Workmans tonight. Should be fun
Big enough act for Marquee
I'll drink to that, Seath.
Absolutely @Stillill42 . I was out of the habit of small gigs when living in London as even a relatively new act like NewDad or Sprints would play an 800-1,500 venue there.
Back in Galway the larger gigs are limited to the Arts Fest in July or else a dozen acts per year at Leisureland or the Black Box. Thus the Róísín, Monroes, Loft, Town Hall and Arás na nGael provide almost all my musical entertainment and it’s so inexpensive that I can go to a gig or two a week.
Not only upcoming acts but since returning in 2017 these small venues (120 to 350 capacity) have put on Mercury Rev, Richard Thompson, Sineád O’Connor, Ash, Therapy?, Sleaford Mods, The Wedding Present, Fontaines DC, Robert Plant, The Lemonheads, Badly Drawn Boy, Lloyd Cole, Tune-Yards, Robert Forster and loads more.
In total that’s €176 for 14 acts plus more supports not mentioned. Less than one PJ or SN ticket. I hope the people going to them have a blast, and I know they will, but that greed by artists is well into immorality territory and I cannot participate in further lining their pockets.
Agreed so I’m probably going to have to get to it though early Sat morning football coaching for kids makes me want to get to sleep before 2am. You going, or to another of their gigs?
LCD/Young Fathers/IDLES/Sh1t Robot for €77 also a great deal.
Arab Strap in Galway. YEEEESSSSSS!!!! Had Moffat and Middleton here separately in the past decade but never the band.
neyo doing marquee in June
Where are ya seeing this ?
Same. I feel violated. It better be worth it. 😒
Their new EP is very good
