White Lies - Ambassador - 16th March

Anyone know anything about this gig?

I've been keeping an eye out for them for a few years, and see they have a gig listed on ticketmaster.ie but nowhere else on the internet. Nothing on their official site, facebook page.

Thats really weird. Cant search for tickets either. Would like to see them too but would they release tkts with the gig supposedly so close?

On their website it seems that they've a gap in their schedule from 27th Feb - 22nd March.

Do they even do gigs in the Ambassador anymore? Haven't been there in years

Apart from the sound i always liked the Ambassador . you had a good venue anywhere on the floor .

Can see it being a mistake and maybe it being changed to the Academy

Says on their official site that they are in Australia around the time of this gig.

Hopefully the tickets go on sale soon. Seen they are €15. Great value

I thought the Ambassador had stopped doing gigs, the last time I was there was for Megadeth in 2007. The White Lies are well worth seeing live though, was at the NME Awards Tour in 2009 in Brixton Academy, it was a great night and they stole the show.

Its smaller than the Olympia , think about 1200 ish. The crowd floor is just a big open space , no columns like the olympia and then a seating area upstairs . Kinda like a smaller version of Brixton Academy

Bought the full six for this one, been waiting a long time for them and had planned on a trip abroad later this year if they didn't come; can't wait

This is awesome news

White Lies are fantastic live, saw them support Coldplay in the Phoenix Park and in the Academy at Heineken Green Spheres.

Ambassador is a class venue, I've been to some incredible gigs there (Manics, Mansun, Suede, Idlewild, The Vines)

Thanks OP, great spot. Haven't been in the Ambassador or seen the White Lies in years. Great chance to kill two birds with one stone!

Only heard today about this gig, 2 tickets bought, looking forward to it.

The Wild Bunch · 15-02-2014 10:00PM

Ambassador pisses all over the Academy in terms of a venue

A V A · 19-02-2014 03:11AM

i was thinking as i was passing it today , could they be testing the waters to see if people were still interested in it as a venue?
