    Ended up missing Brand New due to the buses and then meeting a friend for a pint or 2. Biffy were unreal as usual and pretty much played 2 hours coming on at exactly 8:45 and ending about 10:45

    I thought they were great. They changed the setlist a bit too, compared to the recent European shows, so we got Justboy and Folding Stars. Delighted.

    Great show. Way better than last time round I thought the stage setup and everything was way over the top then. They were brilliant last night

    Epic show. Good setlist & the staging and lights were so well done. They always sound like there's far more than 5(?) of them up there!

    That said, I was near the back for most of it as my friend was coming straight from the Ireland match & we got there just before they started. View wasn't bad but the people around us kept talking/shouting during the acoustic/quieter songs! Who does that?!?! Much better once we got some space to move forward though.

    Agree with that. Was at the 2013 gig and this was definitely better. The band were really up for it and got the crowd going who seemed subdued a little at the start.

    Noticed a couple of sound issues during the set but they were quickly fixed both times.

    Yea the PA cut out for a few seconds on two occasions. Didnt think we would get 2 hours but very happy.

    How did Brand New go down?

    While I thought the visual side was amazing; I really did not know the new stuff at all. Gig was a bit of damp squib in that respect for me.

    Brand New were decent but they were better in Vicar street.

    I'm the opposite, knew the new album off, but less of their older stuff. Fantastic gig, really chilled crowd, great stage setup with the lights and the podiums on either side.
    Wasn't a fan of Brand New, maybe their setup would have suited a smaller venue. The sound just wasn't right.

    The sound for BN was terrible in Dublin. They also only played 7 songs I think with Tommy Gun being the highlight. I think the venue was a bit big for their sound. They were amazing in Vicar St. last year.

    I thought the sound was great, have you been to many 3arena/O2 gigs? I've always found the sound terrible but it seemed much better on Saturday than usual.

    I think the key is to stand in front of the sound engineering station. It should be balanced there and you should hear what the sound engineer hears.

    Yeah, I've been to about 25 :pac: The sound was grand for Biffy. Just when BN opened with Snowing Season it sounded all over the place. Could've been because I was standing slightly to the side.
