    Cork Opera House presents

    MOGWAI

    with special guest RM Hubbert

    Cork Opera House
    Wednesday June 17
    Doors 8pm

    Tickets €30 (upstairs seated) & €27.50 (downstairs standing) plus booking fee

    On 26 June 1995, Mogwai gathered together in the Glasgow living room of Stuart Braithwaite’s parents to rehearse together for the first time. 20 years later, almost to the week, the genre-defining Scottish outfit play their first ever show in Cork, taking place at Cork Opera House on Wednesday, June 17.

    2014's Rave Tapes was Mogwai's ninth studio album (including their excellent soundtrack album for French zombie series, 'Les Revenants') and was their highest charting album to date, entering the UK Top 10. The band are currently on a world tour marking their 20th year and recently released a deluxe edition of their classic 1999 album, Come On Die Young, as well as a new EP, Music Industry 3. Fitness Industry 1.

    Mogwai have evolved their sound and instrumentation over the last two decades, and it is no more apparent than on Rave Tapes; an album filled with pulsing, oscillating synths, layered over Kraut-rock textures and vocoder-drenched lyrics.


    Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 27 March from usual outlets and Cork Opera House Booking Office

    Hoping to get seated tickets for the cork gig. Do you reckon they'll sell out fast or what?

    Tbh I'm a bit disappointed though looking at their setlists from their recent gigs. They have so many amazing songs that they just simply don't ever play, even from newer albums.

    Yeah I saw them in Primavera last year and was completely underwhelmed. Too much of the latest album or two

    It's not even that imo, they just seem to play song that are average, for example they seem to play Rano Pano quite a lot, yet I don't think they've ever played You're Lionel Richie. Which would be a much better song imo.

    Rano Pano is a great song. As is everything on Hardcore, in fact.

    That last album isnt great though, their set at primavera was soon after it's release. So it was mostly that they played.

    Quick one. I picked up a ticket for the Olympia just now and booked it in the circle. I would prefer to be standing.
    Would it be possible to go into the standing section with this ticket, or will I get stopped?

    ah no big deal, I just noticed the seat I got is "restricted viewing". Of course, you could have loads of restrictions in the standing area too.

    In general, it seems like a good location, looking forward to it.

    If I was down in Limk, I'd prefer to go and see them in Cork.

    Not when I was selecting, I hit the drop down box and the only option was "standing"

    Saw them in 2009 on the first of their 3 shows in a row at The Academy.

    Great set finishing in a wall of feedback.

    Their recent stuff since The Hawk Is Howling have been of less interest to be honest.

    Double negative? Never fail to do well, or never disappoint.

    I got my Dublin ticket yesterday. Hadn't realised it was their 20th anniversary tour. Hopefully that means a good mix of tracks played.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Absolutely fantastic show! Think they were having a bit of sound trouble at the start though but by the end it was all sorted.

    I am absolutely thrilled they played
    Black Spider
    and
    Tracy

    Yeah that was really something, blew me away. I also loved
    I know you are but what am I
    . But they often play that so it was to be expected.

    I kinda got the impression not many people knew
    black spider
    , maybe because it's not an album everyone would be interested in picking up.

    I didn't know a whole lot apart from the Hardcore Will Never Die and Rave Tapes tracks, and one or two from the 90s, but they were outstanding. Sequenced the set list marvellously, no chance for a lull.

    Was amused to see the couples in their 50s and 60s in the seats at the back on my way in. Don't know if they knew what they were getting themselves in for.
