    Passion Pit isn't even done with yet and we are announcing more gigs.

    Foals this time round. Their new album Total Live Forever is due the week before the gig, their single Spanish Sahara went to radio last night to be released April 30th (Vid below)

    Tickets as ever are free but you will need to apply on HeinekenMusic.ie.
    Applications won't be open for a few weeks, you will hear about it from me here when they do. I will also have a few comps too.

    www.myspace.com/foals

    Check out the new vid here:

    Love Foals.

    Hate the stupid Heineken registration process.

    All my friends like music & are already registered and have to invite people. As a result I can't bleedin invite 2 people who would accept since it gives an error if I use anyone already signed up. I can use 2 people who won't sign up but that would go against my chances of being selected for tickets.:mad::mad:

    If its giving you hassle, just create 2 email address yourself?

    And my point of this being a stupid process is confirmed.

    and your complaining because....?

    My days of creating dummy e-mail address' are behind me. Besides I never get selected for these Heineken gigs so I'm doubley not inspired to make the effort to create dummy e-mails as part of the registering process.

    All my friends are signed up to the site already, so I couldn't progress by re-entering any of them. At this stage I've ended up spamming work colleagues who would have no interest in signing up/attending, which I gather to mean that my registration won't go through fully.

    I will send your feedback on to the guys in charge of ticketing to see if there is anything we can do to sort it. If not keep an eye out for comps here and on FB/twitter nearer the time.

    Hi Ed,
    Just wondering what the story is with the folk who had their White Lies tickets cancelled last time around? Seem to remember a wee promise of being sorted this time?
    Cheers

    @Sugarman - If you send your email address used to me in a PM I will look into it for you.

    @Rusty_bike - Likewise send your email that you used to register and I will look after it.
    Cheers

    I didn't win tickets for passion pit, when they were playing 5 minutes away from me...I have to win tickets for this.

    I also agree with the issue of the application process, I have the same problem. I preferred the old system, where you didn't have to invite friends, and you got two tickets if you won.

    It's a lotto system when it comes to getting tickets so you have as much chance as everyone else - I will have more news on tickets next week too so keep an eye.

    If you win in the lotto you get you plus the 2 friends you put down when you registered. (when you register you have to give 2 mates address' too)

    BBC added too. I HAVE to get tics to this. I've been following BBC for over a year now and they're coming along nicely. Throw 4 tics my way and I won't say a word. Nobody on boards will know. Ssssssh. ;)

    Wtf???

    This new song is really disappointing. Somebody has been listening to way too much Coldplay.

    Are they selling out??
