Cool, should be a good one but I'm guessing this should read 2nd July?

Brilliant!

Where would the best place to be in the Olympia for this?

steve_r · 29-06-2010 5:06pm

Amazing, I really love these guys.

Saw them in the Brixton Accademy on Saturday, and I saw them in the Academy last year as well.

they really give it everything in their live shows.

this blog has some very interesting accoustic versions of the album tracks, and the cover of Antonia JAne is amazing.

Well worth checking out the cover of "Backstreets" on youtube as well.

(Easy to tell I love 'em eh?)

Cool Running · 29-06-2010 5:12pm

Love it!!

Wished I seen this thread earlier, was looking at thier fbook updates waiting for Dublin to appear.

Seen so many live vids on Youtube. UNREAL!!!!!

Tiddlers · 29-06-2010 5:21pm

Thought they were brilliant at Oxegen last year. They sound great on their albums but they are much stronger live. They put on an excellent show and really appreciate their fans which is always a benefit to a band I think. Should be good in the Olympia too!

mark182 · 29-06-2010 5:33pm

Im happier reading/hearing this then i was finishing the leaving cert

Can't Wait,

I Seen them in Birmingham last week, Excellent Live!

TopBombing · 29-06-2010 10:13pm

Looking forward to this, missed them at Oxegen last year after I partied a bit too much on the Friday night, again!!

seanbmc · 30-06-2010 12:20am

Woooop

ayatollah · 01-07-2010 11:40pm

i cant wait i'm a massive fan of their stuff.

will there be a support act i wonder or will they bust out a springsteen esque epic show?

Turtyturd · 02-07-2010 9:21am

Got tickets for the Olympia but now have to go to Ticketmaster to get tickets for the Belfast show...f*cking ridiculous.

Just wondering has anyone here been to any gigs in Mandela hall? If so what is it like, easy to get to, safe and is there any parking? Being in the University I assume there is but just want to make sure.

Thanks

TopBombing · 02-07-2010 10:40am

Got my tickets there, looking forward to this already!!

Furious-Red · 02-07-2010 11:52am

Got 2 tickets first thing this morning cant wait. At Oxegen last year i missed them so i told my friend that he must go see them so he went not knowing any songs and came home with a GA t shirt and bought the 59 Sound days later and now he is gonna try catch them over in Boston when they play.

hynesie08 · 03-07-2010 2:16am

Is Belfast really 26 pounds? I'm still gonna pay it but seems a bit weird that it's more expensive than Dublin and London.

ned rierson · 03-07-2010 12:49pm

standing tickets still on sale for dublin

mark182 · 04-07-2010 4:52pm

I was there for Tegan and Sara a few weeks ago, it's downstairs at the Student Union. It is safe, there's free parking on the road right beside it

MightyMighty737 · 02-08-2010 11:52pm

It looks like Chuck Ragan is supporting on this tour. :cool:

Hopefully be one more act to be announced; based on previous (and present) TGA tours.

Dermo · 03-08-2010 3:49pm

Can't wait for this. Saw them at Rock Werchter a month ago and will see them at Leeds in a few weeks. I was tempted to go see them in Belfast as well but Gogol Bordello are playing Dublin that night.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-08-2010 11:27pm

Great live, considering going

Anyway, the FB event page got updated this morning. Chuck Ragan and Sharks as support.

Furious-Red · 06-08-2010 4:27pm

Never heard of the support acts. Are they any good?

Furious-Red · 30-08-2010 1:57pm

The Gaslight Anthem will be joined on their November tour by Chuck Ragan and Sharks.

Just heard CR song "The Boat" and F'n love it

hynesie08 · 30-08-2010 2:02pm

Watched them absolutely kill it at reading this weekend, decided i couldn't wait till November so booked my ticket for London in October. must check out chuck ragan.

rhythm90 · 06-09-2010 12:22pm

Excellent! Saw them last year in The Academy when they were touring The 59 Sound release.

Slowly getting into American Slang ... my least favourite release so far if I'm to be honest, but a few cool tunes. But for €23, a great live band, really good vibes, and full of energy and grit..

Was also a bit too drunk at last years gig so woke up not remembering too much... Wont be doing that this time

If your actually in dundalk, why not hit up belfast instead? I know a monday is a more awkward day and all but being the last night of the tour i expect a great atmosphere.
