good show but the brought the drapes out on the seating tiers which is a bad sign,i was told that wasnt originally suppose to happen.also standing wasnt near that sold out ,when the 02's standin is sold out the full alway the way to where the big beams are under the seats!!! there was well to much room towards the back!!
pits got shut down ,thank god cause they were just embarrassing
all AAR where good and so were for years strong wasnt a fan before but seeing them live made me want to go buy some of their stuff
i crowd surfed(always wanted to do at a blink gig) was fun,was in a really bad mood when where like 4 or 5 rows from infront of tom,some lad wanted to get passed my mate,but there no room to pass atall,then next of all the lad trying to get passed fully headed butted my mate in the back of the head! some mate he is cause he got him and his friends a few digs for being a muppet, he excuse was "im too stoned" wtf?? that really annoyed me !! caught toms pleck finnally and got an AAR pleck to, im delighted with thay as iv been waiting to pick one up for years 0 -

I think Blink sounded better than last time they played here, but something felt..lacking. Maybe it was the crowd, nobody around me seemed to be enjoying themselves or dancing/jumping along with the music, I was the only one! All American Rejects were alright, I used to love them when Swing Swing first came out. Lead singer was kind of annoying/try hard though.
Blink didn't play "not now" this time, right? I only left once for 2mins and don't remember hearing it
i thought it was the crowd it was so bad, at one stage i was at the back on my own belting the songs out and dancin ,and every body at 1 stage was looking at me n laughin and all the crap,they didnt bother me one bit hahah
nobody seemed to know the songs played off the new album ??
tom sounded great,when they played online song i smiled also didnt play not now , but its great that they changed it up
also i thought it was a ahlf arsed gig on their part,flet like nothing was put into the stage or anything like last time, no great back drop or anything0 -

Enjoyed it far more than the 2010 gig! The support was WAY better (:D), there were far less assh0les in the crowd and blink were much tighter as a band.
Was pretty crowded where I was standing - a lot of people moved forward when blink came on - but there wasn't all that much space for moshing (right of stage, about 10 rows back). We moved back a few rows after about four songs and had more space around us. FOUR tall guys then stood in front of me though =/ but it worked out in the end. Most of the people around me were jumping/singing/dancing - must have depended on where you were standing.
Definitely agree that a lot of people didn't know the new songs, noticed a lot of people moving back to get drinks during those ones, and a lot of people stopped jumping for them.
Sad that they didn't play Anthem Part 2 or Reckless Abandon
but was happy overall with the setlist, even though it seemed a little shorter than last time.
Was a good night - voiceless and slightly deaf today :P0 -

Doubt it, maybe the RDS Simmons court (ie the shed) which is around 5.5k for concerts I think. But I can't see them playing anywhere other then the o2.
Sorry but what show where you at? No great back drop? wha? The light show/lasers/split screens as the backdrop/visuals on the screens where great.
They sounded much tighter then the last o2 gig and probably the best out of the 5 times i've seen them live over the years.
Yeah it was undersold, the drunken lads being dicks in the crowd where annoying but it was still a great show, perfect setlist imo. New songs sounded great live.
Personally, I think the reason it was so undersold was because it was announced so long ago, that people just didn't buy tickets because it was so far away, lost interest etc. The leaving cert was on so thats a good amount of fans that couldn't go. And the whole "Blink are back!!!" buzz has gone which the last show had.
i never said anything about the setlist , i thought that was brilliant, and they sounded amazing last night , it was so good to hear them pick up were they left off back in the 03/04!!
aswell as it been announced real early i think maybe something to do with the euro's aswell
i think i just had a negative vibe on the crowd and gig after that incident with the group of lads , that really annoyed me!!! if your mate got a full forced head butt to the back of the head (intentionally) would you's not be pissed off
i had a brilliant night regardless and i also heard mark came out side to line again liek he did last year, i think thats pretty cool and nice of him0 -

Must say, was a big Blink fan back in the day but when they broke up so did my interest. Went along last night and thought it was pretty poor. Don't get me wrong, glad I went- I had original tickets for the gig back in 2001/2002 that was cancelled when Tom hurt his back but I felt they simply flew in to do the gig and left. Only interaction with Irish crowd was our participation in the Euro's..........at least AAR had your man from Temple bar on and showed some effort. I see people having a go at the crowd but they are paying to be entertained and I for one would have gotten way more into it had they told a few stories of ireland or something the crowd could relate to instead of usual sex jokes!
Ouch.............i am sounding old!

To be fair, that was all necessary when they had like a maximum 12 song setlist and had to fill an hour and a half.
They played 23 songs last night, fair enough there were 3 joke songs, but that leaves 20 necessary songs in 90 minutes is only 4 and a half minutes per song.
With the banter that they did have last night along with the kick ass excellent sounding songs then thats pretty good going.0 -

Great show tonight in Belfast. Travis is unreal!
Excellent!
What was the special limited edition poster like for Belfast?
Also, did anyone else on the forum get one from last night? I thought it was excellent and seemed to have more thought put into it than the birmingham and london ones so far.0
