    They played a great set at EP in fairness. I didn't know any of the stuff from their new album but I still really enjoyed it.

    They are actually really good live. Saw them in 08 at EP and had a blast.

    Yea 3rd time seeing them but 1st time seeing them on their headline show and blew me away . For me a very underated live band and i feel "Tonight Franz Ferdinand" was a super album even though a lot of people didnt agree. New songs are sounding great .

    Could we see them headlining Sea Sessions?

    I was a little worried because they played a lot of the hits pretty early on in the set but they kept the crowd going throughout.

    Would be a great booking for Sea Sessions!

    I knew they would either open or play Matinee early on . I felt they had a good balance of all albums and spread out all the hits . Would have prefered if they had closed with "This Fire" but hey still a brilliant gig .

    Kinda hope they dont play Sea Sessions ha because i wont be able to go but if they support Biffy in Dublin id be happier :) 2 scottish bands

    A fantastic gig. Franz Ferdinand were the first "real" band I ever loved, and I've been a fan for over a decade. Yesterday was my first time seeing them so you can imagine how excited I was. Surpassed my expectations, and there was great energy from the crowd which I think helps make a gig that bit better.

    Highlights for me were Matinée, Do You Want To and This Fire. Would have loved them to play Darts of Pleasure as it's my fave song of theirs, but ah well.

    Hope they don't play Sea Sessions cause it's the same weekend as Arcade Fire/Pixies!
