Tenacious D - The Academy 17th Dec

Furious-Red

17th December – The Academy Dublin
Doors 7pm
Tickets: €49.50 inclusive of booking fee

US comedy rockers Tenacious D announce that Christmas 2013 will see them play a special intimate date at The Academy, Dublin on December 17th. This won’t be Tenacious as you know them, the December 2013 tour will see the band play their stripped down acoustic set as a duo.

expensive, but acoustic gig in a tint venue might be amazing

Shando316

Ridiculous price.

RayCon

€50 .... GTFO

I don't see why they're making out that seeing them as a "stripped-down" acoustic duo is anything special. That's what all their initial appearances were like, including shows here.

For 25e extra Im seeing them with Biffy, Deftones, Volbeat, SOAD....shocking its more pricey than o2 gig!

SmokeyEyes

Agree it's expensive but we're definitely getting tickets on Friday, what a nice gig to have coming up just before Christmas and be great to be up close in The Academy!

This would be a great gig, being so small and everything. But €50 is crazy.

5min walk to Busaras, avoiding the junkies may take ya up to 10 though

Thanks for the info I may consider going its just getting there from the north (Ireland) ps would there still be enough time to go from the academy to the busaras after the gig to get the last bus at 2300?

I'd love to go to this, but I just can't justify the 50 quid to see two guys with acoustic guitars. What would Bob Geldof say? :eek:

witnessmenow

Does anyone know is this sold out?

I'd tried to get tickets this morning from ticketmaster and is saying it cant fins any tickets, but I would have thought it would have said it was sold out before I entered a captcha if it was sold out?

EDIT: Actually if you open the "section" drop down there is only one option and it is sold out... oh well

Everything In Its Right Place

That was incredible. JB nearly blew my ears out!

What an awesome gig last night, had no idea of the support band, it was a sasqautch, a one man band dressed as a yeti, and he was fcukin great!!

The D were on fire, 1hr 45mins of fun and magic, we were right on the barrier, got some great shots.

Merch was great, 35 for a hoodie and a limited (to 25) Dublin exclusive poster, signed by KG and JB for 25, will look class in a frame.

Zwillinge

Great shots!!

Was a super funtastical gig - I know it was pricey, but worth it in the end :D

Now I just want Christmas to keep the happy going!!

Everything In Its Right Place

Sasquatsh was Mike Bray really talented guy. Has worked with KG in The Kyle Gass Band

Goolay

That Sasquatch played a mean bone/drum solo

rossie1977

fun show. the crowd was really into their older material more than their newer stuff as was expected, jack black hugged the dozen or so people who waited outside after the gig

I loved it, I've been wanting to see the D Acoustic since listening to their Live at the Brixton Academy DVD, I still listen to the audio rip of it all the time. Its my third time (RDS the year pick of destiny came out and last year in the o2) to see them and by far the best in my opinion

I bought the tickets on ebay for €75 each (one for the GF too), probably didnt need to in the end, but sure you'll have that.

Bought the signed vinyl for €35 ... I don't even have a vinyl player.... trying to figure do I double down and get something to play it, or arrange it in a frame somehow.

I thought people were into all of it, but there was definitely people who were not familiar with Rize of the Phoenix.

Tickets €150, Vinyl €35, T-shirt for the Gf (cant believe she went for the FHG one) €25, Food and Diesel costs €60. Seeing possibly my most listened to band from row 2 acoustically...priceless!
