Just saw this....playing Funeral in its entirety to mark the 20th Anniversary. Should be a great gig!
I was at the bar three different time for Pearl Jam gig, and there wasn't much of a queue. The third time was just before Pearl Jam were due on stage, and the wait time in the queue was no more than 15 minutes. I would imagine that would be the peak time. Or maybe it got worse after that. The queues were long alright, but with the amount of people working there, the queues moved along very quickly.
First actual Funeral Anniversary gig in Italy tonight, that will nail the setlist more or less I reckon
Cheers
Two rookie Qs…
"Golden Circle" ticket holders or whatever they're call - can they move in & out of General Admission Standard? Or are they limited to the Circle.
Evntz parking - Is it any use, and has anyone had any experience with their booking slot?
Gold Circle can come and go into general as they please. You have to leave the gold circle anyway to get to the food/bars/toilets.
I have the Evntz app which has some good info on it. Haven't booked parking, but they're legit, so shouldn't be any issues.
Richard Reed Perry leaked the Milan setlist an hour or two back on IG. Won't embed as to spoil on others.
Knowing AF, the encore may change a bit night on night depending on how received.

couldn’t find the leaked set list, perhaps he took it down? Did it match up to this? https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/arcade-fire/2024/arena-concerti-fiera-milano-rho-italy-33a88821.html
Looks bang on. Setlist spoiler below.
I'd be very happy with that.. For some reason I can't stand My Body is a Cage though.. Swap that out for No Cars Go or Intervention and it would be perfect.
Sprawl 2. Great song
exactly the same as you, one of the poorest songs on the album and I’d put intervention/no cars as 2 of the best live songs they have.
Agreed, cracking tune.
yeah No Cars Go is one on my faves, should have put it in seeing as its a crowd pleasing set, Keep the Car Running would have been nice too
I'd be happy with that set.
Forgot about that…another classic missing.
What's the story with driving/parking for Malahide Castle? Any recommended parking places nearby within a 15/20 walk?
I got worse as the night went on. About half way through, the queue was around 35 minutes
Oh right. I generally do my drinking before the band that I want to see comes on stage. Got my fill at that stage. Everyone to their own, but I don't really understand why people would go to the gig and spend nearly 25% of the time the main act is on, in a queue. I'd be regretting it the next day that I missed out. Can get beer anytime, but the short amount of time that we get to see our favourite bands is precious to me.
Hopefully Malahide is better so. I'd love to see AF again. But Malahide is just too much of a pain with work on the next morning. Saw them in 3Arena last time they were here, and it was brilliant - even with the tension that was between the band members at the time. Great live band.
The downside is that the bars are all near the back in malahide. If you are in gold circle it's a pain. St annes pk better as bars are at either end.
Upside is there are some good bars in village to have a sup beforehand.
I was at blur last year and remember there was a main bar to the left side of the crowd
yea, there definitely was. Bars either side of the venue with toilets at the back.
You are right. I meant toilets!! Losing it.
hah, no worries….probably more of a downside having the toilets so far away!!
As I previously suggested, setlist (well, outside of Funeral) is changing a bit night to night.
Probably preferred last night in Brixton to Milan.. even looks like a new song thrown in:

keep the car running and no cars go getting an airing, I’d take that! Interesting to see what they play tonight.
Rain jackets at the ready for Sunday
There are 4 bars at marlay Park. Everyone seems to go to the center ones. Other two are never busy. Plus the spirit and Smirnoff bars
Yeah, this does not look great at all..
TM rough times:
Kila's a new one! Probably over around 10.30 then….can't see Arcade Fire being more than 2 hours
Kila, that's brilliant, they're great
mixing it up again last night. They got Intervention!
