Gig Reviews - 2026

Saw Flea in KOKO last night and, in fairness, that’s why I never really get too worked up anymore when a tour doesn't hit here and I have to fly over. As this gig was sensational. Given the personal circumstances, I didn't think he would have played.

One of those gigs where you realise why waiting around hoping things land locally can be overrated sometimes. Warren Ellis appeared, then Thom Yorke casually wandered out as well and the whole room just lifted another level.

Great crowd too. Felt like everyone in there genuinely wanted to be there and knew they were witnessing something special in the moment rather than simply attending because it was the designated marquee event of the week.

And honestly, if there’s something I really want to see, I’ll just go. Flights are cheap, London is an hour away.

Worth every cent in fairness. These are the kinds of shows people end up talking about years later while everyone else is still debating whether the ticket price justified the runtime.

50 minutes, really?

Hopefully someone here can help a girl out. We are looking for the second photo Kevin took in the middle of the gate. The owner of the phone walked away without sharing it with the other fans. 😒 Tia

Big Thief - Barrowland Ballroom

That was such an enjoyable gig. They wouldn't be my favourite band by any means but last night was just class. Sold out gig in an iconic venue. Hard to beat.

Irish rail have to do maintenance and upgrades and only options they have are weekdays or weekends. Bank holiday weekends are chosen as it’s usually the quietest weekends that they can choose

and bank holidays means they get a Monday to do even more work.

Ya they are at it now still. It the 3 full days the dates are published every year and there is public info campaigning by irish rail and event promotes in the lead up to events possibly affected

Well if you like they can just not maintain the tracks and we can inconvenience another more people when an accident happens or they have to cut sevices for after reasons, grow up ya clown

Ya started with the sass after you were given a legitimate reason for the dart not running and basically claimed they should not personally inconvenience you.

Done arguing

Would rate it as one of the best gigs I have seen at the Castle - on stage for 1hr30 & even with the rain enjoyed every minute 👍

No grumpy old man about it.

Id like to see those people locked into portable toilets and set on fire.

Hi, what time did the pixies come on stage last night, just trying to see what time I need to set off. Thanks
