The National - Cork (Marquee) & Dublin (Iveagh Gardens) Dates - July 2014

aka accounts 2010 · 20-12-2013 11:03am #1

JUST ANNOUNCED!

The National
July 14th
Cork, Live At The Marquee

July 16th
Galway Arts Festival

July 18th & 19th
Dublin, The Iveagh Gardens

TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW MORNING AT 9AM

Following two incredible live shows in Ireland in 2013 The National return to the Marquee in Cork on July 14th and take over The Iveagh Gardens, Dublin for two nights on July 18th and 19th.

When The National performed to an ecstatic audience at the Marquee last June they walked off stage and immediately asked ‘Can we do this again next year?’ such was the electricity of the occasion. They followed that show with a sold-out 02 in Dublin in November proving indie-rock bands can step up to arenas and still have the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. The lyrical soul-searching intelligence you hear on The National’s records takes on an intense almost frenzied dimension when performed live. It’s impossible not to be moved by Matt Beringer’s raw animation.

MCD and Aiken goin ape**** with gig announcements hoping people will buy as Christmas presents
Iveagh could be a good venue for them, instead of the the Point

This is amazing. I was dying to see them again after Belfast. Didn't think they'd be playing over here again for a few years! This just so happens to fall when I'm home from Edinburgh for 2 weeks also. Perfect timing.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Delighted with the Dublin venue, delighted with the nights (fri/sat) but tickets on sale at 9am on a Saturday morning is a pain in the arse!

Iveagh Gardens is about 5,000 capacity right? Should sell out at least one for Dublin tomorrow I reckon

Dublin gigs are clashing with Longitude if people are thinking of going to both.

Anyone announced for that yet?

Will try and get a ticket for the National in Galway or Cork before the Iveagh gardens.

Great news about galway. Saw them in Cork duting the summer but had to sell my tickets to the gig in the Point due to financial reasons. Definately one of the biggest bands to play galway?

Latitude made its initial lineup announcement and there should be some crossover between the two.

suprised a gig for Galway Arts Festival is announced so early but delighted.
Saw them at the O2 and they were great.

How does Iveagh Gardens compare to The Marquee? Saw them at The Marquee earlier this year.

mcw100 · 21-12-2013 10:16am

Boom, done 12 pubs last night, and still got up in time to get tickets!!!

Venue wise what do ye think will be better - the Galway Arts Festival or Iveagh Gardens? Torn!!!

dirkmeister · 21-12-2013 4:27pm

I'll be out of the country in July...balls anyway.

brevity · 21-12-2013 5:39pm

Iveagh Gardens would be cool, but you can't beat Galway for atmosphere ! My vote is for Galway..

Got me a ticket for Cork!

Not even sure I'll still be living anywhere near Cork in July but I've incentive not to drift too far now.
I very briefly saw them at Electric Picnic in 2010; we missed the start of their set 'cause my (ex) bf had to run back to get his phone, and then I had to leave after two or three songs to go see Fever Ray (who came on later than advertised >_<) so I really didn't see a lot. I'm more familiar with them now though so will be able to appreciate them more anyway.

Don't know anyone else as of yet who's going though so may end up there on my lonesome.
