    My guess is they'll play Electric Picnic or maybe Longitude. They were announced to be playing a festival in Madrid during the summer and it would make sense why we've heard nothing about an Irish date as EP or Longitude don't announce their lineups till early 2017.

    Not a chance in hell they'll do EP, the idea of it is hilarious :pac: Would be doubtful about longitude too tbh.

    Chances of selling out? Never been to RHK so not sure on the size of the venue.

    Over 18s in RHK..
    If they're actually strict on the 18s it has potential to be amazing!

    RHK certainly isn't huge, I reckon it will sell out.

    I cant imagine that they will attract that many younger fans anymore

    I would say they will have lost a lot of their older fan base (ie the likes of those that were in their late teens/early 20s in and around the turn of the millenium) also. A lot grew out of that music and weren't exposed to it much over the last 12/13 years.

    Hard to know what their core demographic fan base is now.

    That isn't demeaning them in anyway, merely saying taste moves on but nostalgia will boost sales also.

    Saying that, they will sell out the RHK.

    Will the Belfast gig sell out on Friday? I don't think I'll get time to get tickets.

    ****ing can't believe it. I know I said that I didn't want to see them at a big outdoor event, but ****ing Rancid are supporting, and they're doing a Belfast date as well. That's 3 times in 4 days that I'll get to see them. It's been too long. I am so excited!!! Now just to make sure I can get tickets! There are a few UK peeps I know who will be heading over, so I'm sure it will sell out quick enough.

    Small enough capacity so they might sell it out I suppose.
    Should be easy enough to pick up a ticket for it next summer anyway .

    GA is for "general admission", sometimes when you get the ticket it will say GA STAND, ticketmaster saving ink not bothering to print out STANDING, (sure you only paid them €6.85 for service so what can you expect!)

    This has caused confusion in other gigs, esp. in stadiums where people think they are in "the stand". Also in the olympia and probably other venues the ticket can have a number on it, which people think is a seat number.

    Anyways, all standing at this gig as said.

    Think it's now sold out on Ticketmaster, surprised it sold out this quickly tbh. Tickets available on seatwave selling in twos for 60 each and in and around 100 for a ticket by itself :rolleyes:
