    Think it's my 3rd or 4th gig in Iveagh gardens and it's constantly a battle trying to move away from people talking. We were right up by the stage last night and could still hear people nattering!
    Good gig though but I preferred their show in Vicars Street a year or so back.

    The venue, the weather and the style of music Future Islands offer up made for quite an evening.

    I wasn't sure they could carry it off in an outdoor venue but it was excellent.

    Sam Herring's vocals could have been louder and drunk girls trying to elbow their way to the front are minor gripes. Other than that no complaints, really good night.

    Amazing performance, amazing venue, been humming away to myself all morning. There's always the chatters but thought it was a great atmosphere overall

    Good gig and wasn't near any chatters thank goodness. Though have seen them twice before and didn't think they quite reached the heights last night.

    Wouldn't be surprised with the success of this tour that they might still get added to the bill for EP.

    Won't happen as they're playing in the US that weekend.

    They said last night that was their biggest ever headline show, hopefully that keeps them coming back for more. I'd be happy going to a Future Islands gig every other week. You get value for your money from them, that's for sure.

    Sensational performance but there was a serious amount of bell-ends in the crowd tonight.

    Even though I love Belle and Sebastian, I will never go to another gig in the Iveagh Gardens after St. Vincent the other year. Proper event junkies venue, loads of sh!theads just yakking away.
