    Never seen them live and would love to go after the return to form of The Liberty of Norton Folgate. But don't like the O2 and would prefer to see them in the Olympia or Vicar street.

    The 02 is a big venue alright, but the sound there is very good.. you should try to see a Madness live show, they ALWAYS play a great set. There will be a great atmosphere in the 02 :D:D

    Seem them at the last O2 show and loved it . Id say since they had played EP that year aswell would have had an affect on sales

    Was at the 02 myself the last time, it was a great show.
    I,d be a little worried that this concert is on a Wednesday night :mad:
    This could affect Ticket sales, also they are playing Belosonic in Belfast in August.. In saying all this, they still have a strong fanbase in Ireland, and with
    a new album due for release in the summer,there should be a fair bit of interest
    for this.

    Judging by the volume of TV , radio and newspaper adverts in the past 2 weeks, not great I'd say.

    Loads of tickets being given away on radio competitions at the moment and KC on Today FM is bringing 20 people to the gig and putting them all up at the Gibson!!

    Just had a look on Ticketmaster and I could get 8 standing tickets or 8 seats together in Block A row 26 and given that Row 21 is the first row when standing downstairs it looks like it's a slow seller!!

    Cheers for info

    I suppose the fact it,s on a Wednesday night wouldn,t help..
    Pity really, as i,d say if this gig was on at the weekend, a lot more people would go :(
    Still a week to go, a lot of folk might buy between now and then, or on the night itself

    Anyone heard stage on-time for this? Is there any support?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 14,953 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Doors 6.30pm // Man Like Me 8pm // Madness 9pm

    Madness were in Top form at The 02 Dublin, playing 22 songs on the nite, 7 of which were from the New Album.. Great crowd there also, not sold out but i would estimate a crowd between 8 to 10,000.. not bad for a Wednesday nite!!
