All O2 gigs are pretty standard when it comes to times.

Doors will open at 6.30. Supports act (s) will start around 7pm with the Killers coming on stage between 9.00 and 9.15. Curfew at the O2 is 11pm.

Give yourself time for transport to the gig, ticket and security checks also!! Can take some time depending on time you arrive!!

Security check is that a carry out check by any chance?

As you're approaching the entrance, they'll separate the crowd in two lines, men & women. It's just a quick "pat-down" and they'll have a look into any handbags that women have (now sometimes they might only check 70%-80% of the bags!!

More of their older stuff than their new stuff will keep me happy.

If they do an Irish cover it will be U2. I fully expect the cover to be Moon River, Shadowplay or Don't Look Back in Anger.

My 6 year old is convinced the song is "Smile Like A Demon", I haven't the heart to tell her

Bitta Don't dream its over has been making a few appearances. Wouldn't expect those three. DLBIA was for Manchester and they don't really play the first two anymore. U2 would be likely

From my bit of stalking, they seem to play something from the big acts in the country they are in.....perhaps Wee Daniel will be covered tonight!!!

To anyone going tonight the Brew Dock (opposite Connolly station) are giving out a free pint of any Galway bay beer to anyone with a Killers ticket before/after the gig. Never had any before but the price is right!

Well what did people think?

Last time I saw them was in Marlay Park in 2008 & was so disappointed so I didn't know what to expect last night.
So glad I went though! Loved the gig, so many great songs & he wasn't too bad at With Or Without You either!

Apart from the eejits who started fighting it was a great night & I'll definitely be going to see them again next time.

I loooooved them!! My voice has followed my sanity and disappeared! They were amazing. Way more polished than last time we saw them in the O2 in 09. Good old Ronnie gave it loads! I almost forgive them for the U2 number Brilliant night x

Just for the sake of it!!!!

I thought battle born was a strange finale

The whole show was amazing, what a way to start with Mr Briteside with all the house light on. Fireworks and laser added to a very special:) gig and I thought battle born was a great ending to a great gig

Great gig alright, I was wondering was there something wrong at the start.

I love battle born (the song and the album) but finishing a concert with a new album track was a very strange choice. Some concert. Pace didn't let up at all apart from that, non stop the whole way. He's turning into one hell of a frontman imo.

I think that serving alcohol during the gig was a bad idea.

There were loads of muppets, drunk, screaming and falling around as well as constantly trying to get out of their seats and disrupt others to go to the bar.

Surely people could spend less than two hours at a concert and have a drink before and afterwards.

I totally agree. It really annoys me when people are hammered at a gig, never mind leaving every few songs to go get more drinks. Yeah they're having great craic but the people around them aren't. Drink before & if you're twisted you're not getting in and then once the gig is over, off you go.

Rant over (sorry!) but I totally agree drink should be banned.

There was a very old lady sitting beside us, she was late 80s if she was a day. I swear, whoever she was, she had THE night of her life. When Mr Brightside came on she absolutely freaked out and she gave it all she had until the lovely BF went off stage. Hope I can give it Hell when I get to my 40s never mind her age!

My voice is on the way back

Janey, you are a hard one to please. I thought it was a fantastic gig!

Amazing gig start to finish. Everything was spot on and the band were really up for it. Brandon was brilliant as usual, super frontman.

Really enjoyed Battle Born as the final song. Didn't expect it and it was a great way to round it off. Stage show was also epic throughout!!!

Top top gig!!

Must've been all the plebs around me leaving during it that ruined it for me!!

Can't understand all the people that left during the last song, ooh you saved yourself three minutes, well done!

They must have been queueing to get out of the damn carpark, it took us until midnight to exit. I was the backseat driver :P
