    Just coz the script had one doesn't mean mumford will. Was their a gig on before the script as well?

    I dunno was their a gig on before hand. I don't think so. Equally just because there is a gig on before hand does not mean that there will not be a support act. Boom!

    I think it would make it less likely. I doubt there'll be a support act for mumford anyway. Smaller gigs don't tend to have support as much

    I wouldn't say this is a smaller gig. The Script were just over a tener and are around the same size as Mumford. Sure we will see on the night

    The Olympia is a small theatre. It's also the theatre that Ryan Sheridan warmed up for the Script at. The exact same venue..... Oh but you wouldn't of known that.....you decided not to go to it.

    Infairness they have sold out 3 nights in the o2 and are doing an Aviva date as well as Oxegen.

    I don't really see how that effects the probability of Mumford having a support. The concert itself is the same size.

    Nah id still say Script are bigger if you look at their Uk Tour places like O2 , Wembley , MEN Arena etc and plus there pretty big in the USA.

    Anyways id say its 50/50 if M&S have a support act in the Olympia

    What does it even matter if The Script are bigger or not? And in saying they have more dates in Ireland then Mumford and Sons this year so what? Didnt M&S just announce a tour across the States along with the rumors of a bigger UK & Ireland tour at the end of this year?

    We were talking about support acts and the gig was compared to The Script who also played a late show in the Olympia. We were comparing the bands coz they played the same type of show and usually a bigger band would have a support act

    Would be very helpful if someone that was at the Cork gig could post the set list?

    Also any idea what time Mumford & Sons came on at last night? Heading to the Galway gig tonight and want to see a good chuck of the United match before heading down.

    I think it was twenty five to ten. Very good set. Alot of new songs in the set. Crowd 25 + mostly in age group. The fella playing the banjo would really want to cut that horrible pigtail at the back of his head

    Last night was amazing. Only went because my gf loves them but they put on a great show =) we went to 2 door cinema club before them who were good but there were sooo many drunken 15 year olds at it who kept trying to start moshing. I honestly thought i was the oldest person there and Im only 18 in a few months..

    Anyhow, Mumford and Sons were really great. The support act (Albatross) was also good and they all seemed like lovely people =) We were right at the barrier but there was no pushing whatsoever and my gf was ecstatic when they played Timshel acoustically, no mic's no speakers no nothing :cool:

    UPDATE

    just finished uploading the video of it on youtube =)

    Timshel was absolutely incredible last night, really nice to see a modern band trying something a bit different with their live show like that. The whole show was fantastic but definitely Timshel was the highlight of the night.
    Also, the new stuff sounds really really good I thought, often difficult to judge from a live show but it still sounded excellent
