Might check this out - I've seen them twice outdoors and they were brutal, and I had been looking forward to seeing them, but that was a long time ago....and a lot of bands are more suited to indoor venues.......always had a bit of a soft spot for their music though...

Would much prefer the academy! The Olympia, ive found, is awful when your standing.

Yea i would have personally prefered either Vicar St(wasnt going to happen since its a MCD gig) or Tripod . I like the olympia but i just find your view can be easily be cut out depending where you are standing

Agreed. Hate the Olympia standing.
Would definitely have gone if it was the academy, not sure now....

They didnt even fill the Academy last time! I got a ticket from the box office on the day in 2010 sure

Well id say it was 99% sold out

StaticAge11 · 24-01-2012 12:24pm

Just didn't seem like they sold enough to warrant a step up to the olympia!

Furious-Red · 24-01-2012 12:26pm

True , maybe they will add a strong support for the tour? Hopefully not that rubbish Jodie Has A Hitlist:mad::mad:

New album on the way, obviously fairly confident in it as both venues are bigger. The new single is below.

Yea had been dying to see them since 2004 and caught them in 2010 and they were great . Had to laught when Ian said "who was here the last time we played" (which was 2004???) and the amount of 16 year olds who said yes was hillarious

They took some serious amounts of bottles to the stage that day, no wonder they took so long coming back!

Ha i think they were on about when they played the Ambassador

Anyone know if this one is underage also? Was gutted last time in the academy, didn't notice that the tickets said that under 18's were allowed and showed up to a bar full of soft drinks

@Furious-Red: No way it was 99% full at the last gig, was loads of standing room and we could walk in and out of the dance floor area freely. Hopefully they fill the olympia..

Why did they have to choose to have the gig on Sunday?
I think I'm going to cry. I've been waiting for so long to see them live and then when they finally come to Ireland they pick the WORST DATE EVER.

Aside from that, I hope you all enjoy yourselves.

Go see them in Belfast the day after then.

Following the success of last week’s unveiling of new single video ‘Bring Em Down’, Lostprophets can now reveal a new spiced-up version of the hit, a remix by Russell Lissack of Bloc Party.

The original track, out March 26th, will feature on the band’s fifth studio album ‘Weapons’ released via Epic on April 2nd. Check out the remix below.

Heading to the gig in Belfast and totally excited about it!

Nope

OakeyDokey · 05-04-2012 7:51pm

I was wondering that as well? Ended up buying the CD in HMV today! If I receive the CD signed it will make a handy birthday present for the sister.

Also does anyone know what the setlist is for the gig? I know they'll be playing their new stuff but I'd like to here them play some old time stuff like Last Summer.

Gonna be hard to say since Dublin and Belfast are the 1st 2 dates of the tour

OakeyDokey · 06-04-2012 1:33am

Yeah though as much, I'm usually able to track down setlists but no luck this time!

Been listening to the new album all day and I wasn't too keen when I first listened but now I love it

drumlover22 · 06-04-2012 11:53pm

Going to the Olympia date, should be good. Enjoyed the Academy date last time they were here. Anyone know if any supports have been announced?
