You would wonder if its true that they choose not long before the show since both bands will have their own rigs/gear . Can see them deciding early in the day so they will have time to set up each bands rig

scudzilla

They'll probably flip for the first date then alternate dates after

Bit of a strange attitude towards seating for this gig. Yes it won't be as manic as standing 5 rows from the front but do people expect the seated to be lounging around eating candy floss, yawning & reading a magazine? Surely it depends on the band, this is QOTSA, not Michael Buble.

I can imagine people getting up to stand if there seated, sitting down for any rock show is just wrong.

Whilst I thought the Wiltern show was one for the ages, this tour has not been hitting the high points of previous jaunts.

Seems the playing is top notch but band are not as loose with setlists and running order as in the past.

It was always a given that a Queens show would vary from night to night - the Ambo shows are testament to this. With restrictions from the new promoter, new(ish) fanbase and bigger touring rig/visuals they just mightve lost a soupçon of what made them such a dynamic and compelling live propostion in the first place.

I'm doing Belfast and Dublin and would be surprised if the setlist changed more than two or three songs both nights. /Grump.

Wooderson

Great to see Misfit Love back in the set though. Love that track.

Sugarlumps

Killer tune that.

Thats very disappointing, if its true. Maybe its lucky I can only afford one show this time, unlike the 6 on EV tour.

Posters advertising the gig have started appearing around Dublin. That's usually a sign that there's loads of tickets left.

I remember the time played at Slane. The were by far the loudest band that day. It was if the volume was at a 7-8 for the bands before them then it was turned up 11 for Queens then back down to 7-8 for the Foos and the Chilis.

BearThomas131

Any idea what time this gig will be over at ?

Planemo

11 at the latest.

Lemag

Any idea who the supporting acts are going to be?

They've been around for a good while, I always see more than one to and from Hueston station.

Do ye reckon people will que?

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

I managed to get standing tickets for this on TicketMaster after trying a few times. Seems a few popup every day.

BearThomas131

Can't wait for this gig, 2 weeks

Anyone know what it's like getting a bus back to bray after a concert in the O2 or will it finish too late, gonna drive in but would prefer to have a few pints ?

Planemo

Well if the gig's over at 11 you'd have roughly 30 mins to get to D'olier street for the last 145 - doable if that suits.

BearThomas131

Yeah was thinking that but if I miss that I'm paying 50 quid for a taxi so bit wary about it , wasn't sure of the walking time between 02 and D'oliver st, might chance it though see how I feel on the day

icarus86

Gonna be my fourth time seeing Queens and i can't wait for it! just one thing, i still have not received my tickets. Checked online and it says they are ready to be collected. From where? I know i can print them out but i just presumed they would have mailed them out by now?

Anyway its gonna be a deadly gig

Mushy

Did you select Box Office collection maybe? Although if you can print them off, then thats why you haven't "received" them, you just have to print them off.

Shall be 9th time seeing them, can't wait for it!
