Anyone know if they are gonna add an Irish date to this year's tour?

There's nothing on their website so it's very unlikely at the moment. If there was a date in the upcoming tour they would have announced it long ago.

Electric Picnic maybe?

Ya I had a look at the website,just surprised,they'd have a decent fan base here in one respect or another

Might as well go over to Glasgow and see them in the Acadamy.

I didn't know about this, I might actually go to see them in glasgow, what's that venue like there?

Save your money for the deluxe reissue of The Aeroplane Flies High.

The tour is called 'Shamrocks and Shenanigans' and yet no Irish date? I thought they would definitely play here this time as they didn't last time they toured in Europe. Am starting to regret not going to the Glasgow gig now. Still a small chance a gig might be announced maybe in the Olympia. That would be ideal and wouldn't be too hard to sell out. Here's hopingðŸ˜¯

I was at the RDS Simmonscourt gig a few years seemed to be a decent enough crowd,surely selling out the Olympia would not be an issue..Capacity is ~1200

They would easily bring a great crowd to the O2

Wasn't that big a crowd, there was still loads of space towards the back and I had no problem getting from the bar to the second barrier. RDS is an atrocious venue though.

No way would they fill the O2, it's not 1995 anymore (unfortunatly they over-filled The Point back then). A night or two at The Olympia would be more realistic.

Ya RDS was a horrible venue the sound was dreadful. I have no doubt that they would get a decent crowd to the O2 but at this stage it seems our only hope would be a smaller gig at the Olympia. Saw them there in 2000 it was unreal to see such a powerful band in such an intimate venue.

Haven't been to that one personally. Check it online? All the Academy locations I have been at in UK have been class though. Like the Olympia.

96 in The Point I think. The gig was over-sold, the crowd were moshing constantly and the poor girl was crushed to death. I listened to a bootleg of the gig a couple of years ago and it was chilling to listen to, especially at the end when they stopped the gig.

Lenny5 · 22-06-2013 5:30pm

Ya was at that gig in the point. Cudnt take the crush even in the middle of the crowd had to move back. Band did everything they could to calm the crowd. Was shocking to hear that girl actually died. Have decided to go to the Glasgow gig it's more and more unlikely that an Irish gig will be announced.

Hi,

I have a ticket spare for this gig for sale if anyone here is interested. Can't make it over next week now, so looking to sell the ticket. Think they were £35 face value? Anyway, 25 euro to anyone who's thinking of maybe heading over or knows someone who may be thinking of it.
Dublin area.
