    Thats a massive jump for them imo. I can see them doing the Olympia again with maybe a belfast date aswell

    Id love to see them do Vicar street next.... no way would they fill the O2 at this stage.

    Last night was my second time to see them and they seem like a very accomplished live band already.... great gig!!!

    the olympia is an ok venue, but too much noise from the bar area. also, dont get me started on those bloody pillars....

    Can't wait to see them again. Couldn't believe it when they came into the crowd to perform Ho Hey right in front of me!

    Are they big enough though for the o2 . Id be amazed if it sells out over 1 big hit song so far , its a massive massive jump for them . Id be worried unless they have more big songs coming out

    Seems odd alright.
    I would have thought another Olympia gig would be enough.
    That Venue is around 1,200 I think and O2 around 8-12k?
    Fair play it they can get a good crowd!

    How do you get a code for the O2 presale? I'm signed up to Blueroom / Priority and all, but do I have to do something in particular to be sent a code?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭miller82


    cracking gig.

    Can't wait for the next one


  • Registered Users Posts: 199 ✭✭SusanneKn


    Olympia would be a much better venue, maybe play even for 3 nights, but I reckon it is all about the profit at the end of the day.

    And as far as I remember they sold out the o2 in London for three nights in a row.

    Hard to imagine now that the Gig last Saturday was actually first scheduled for Whelans!

    Don't reckon you'll need one. Be very surprised if it sells out. VERY.

    They have not played the O2 yet . They are doing 2 shows at Brixton next month

    How the hell are they playing the O2 already? On the back of 1 catchy, now annoying song and pretty mediocre album.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,254 ✭✭✭squonk


    Have to agree. I couldn't believe that song was so popular because I thought it was a bit **** from day 1. I don't really think they're all that much to be excited about. Seems very odd that they'd fill the Point. Maybe the gig will be downgraded to somewhere else after a bit?


  • Subscribers Posts: 41,632 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    They have a wide ranging appeal though, from the 15-16 yo's to the groovy grandads.

    Im sure the fact mcd booked to O2 is based on previous ticket requests for the last gig, coupled with an expect rise in fame in the meantime.

    personally, im not sure they can carry it off.

    Just Got Mine!! Cant Wait for November!


  • Registered Users Posts: 199 ✭✭SusanneKn


    I got mine too but it won't be as good as the Olympia.Smaller venues are usually much better.I would have rather seen them doing two/three days in the Olympia.

    I wonder if Monsters of Men are coming back soon? I never got my hands on a ticket :(

    I thought the same thing about Bon Iver in the build up to his O2 gig. And he blew me away. Of course, The Lumineers are no Bon Iver, but you'd never know what they'll pull off.

    Have just discovered Langhorne Slim and from what i've heard so far it should be the Lumineers supporting him...
