Hi,

Have to travel over from Galway & mightn't be able to leave early. What time would you expect AF to be onstage? 8 or closer to 9? The latter I think/hope.

cheers,
pa.

It is usually around 9pm for headliners, recently though a few have gone on at 8:45

For North America tour, they were onstage at 8:50pm and done around 11pm

I’d been checking fairly regularly and they had single standing options available.

About 6 weeks ago they disappeared... something like “oops couldn’t find what you were looking for” kept appearing.

Anyway, all’s well that ends well!!

There still seems to be plenty of availability for their European dates, managed to book standing at the O2 in Prague for E40 in June.

Great venue and lovely city. Went there for muse a few years ago.

They're rehearsing in Belfast this week.

No response from the Point on Twitter, but has anyone any indication of what time they'll be on stage at?

Stage times will only be confirmed on the day of the concert. Expect them to be on at 8:45 or 9pm.

Yep, I generally aim to be at a gig for 8.30pm. Sometimes will ask doormen when they are due on if I would rather be in the pub close by.

The only ones on earlier would be rare, the likes of springsteen playing for hours might be on earlier, or places with curfews. I think some I went to in the olympia or concert hall had intermissions and might have clearly said stage time on the tickets.

Sound. Trying to decide whether to park up at the Red Cow or park at the Point itself, so the later they come on the better really. Plus I've a seat so it's all the one.

cullenswood · 03-04-2018 10:03am

What time would they be finishing up at anyone know? There's a bus leaving Busarus at 23:30, so not sure if I'd make that

Probably 11ish. Say you could make it.

lc180 · 03-04-2018 11:13am

Is there any support act announced for this gig? Can't find any information online at all.

As far as I'm aware, Preservation Hall Jazz Band are supporting them on all dates.

Looking forward to this gig, feels like a long time ago that they went on sale! It will be my first time in the 3Arena since it changed from the point. Any good pubs nearby?

Dr. Bre · 03-04-2018 7:56pm

Any idea what the setlist will be?

Should be pretty similar to the NA tour (see setlist.fm). They played a secret show in NYC recently and played (Antichrist Television Blues) for the first time in a few years.

Green room bar near the Gibson is usually a good atmosphere b4 any gig in 3arena

mimimcmc · 04-04-2018 9:26am

Really looking forward to this, I won dinner in the 1878 club beforehand too, anyone know what it's like??

Le Bruise · 04-04-2018 1:35pm

Likewise I can't wait for this gig. It feels like a hell of a long time since I last saw them in Marley Park and that was fairly epic!

Having real trouble warming to 'Everything Now' despite numerous listens through. Hopefully seeing a few of the tracks live will help!?

Yeah I saw them in Malahide last June and the new tracks sound way better live. I hadn't even heard the new album yet at the time and still enjoyed them.

Just found out about the round stage, is this still happening? I wonder how my view will be affected. I'm in Block J, so I hope I wont be craning my neck to see the stage...

Yeah that whole show is based on the round stage (it's actually like a boxing ring). They all switch around during the gig (except for the drummer) so there's no "front" really. You should be fine from block J.

cullenswood · 05-04-2018 5:01pm

Doors open at 6.30PM - support 7.15PM and Arcade fire on stage at 8.45 and show will finish at 11PM. Hope everyone is excited for what is set to be an amazing show.

a site (think they have an app too) www.setify.co is great, it pulls its data from setlist.fm and can generate a spotify playlist for you (even if you are on free spotfiy), and you can pick and choose songs to leave out. I prefer some things to it over setlist.fm, e.g. it shows what album the songs are from at a glance. Sometimes it is not great as it might detect them from a greatest hits album though, so for some older bands it can be less useful for album spotting.

I see it can also throw up odd ones. Like it has their cover of Lennon's "mind games" listed, and lists the album as "spotify singles"

dinneenp · 05-04-2018 8:47pm

My tickets are 'View & Print Tickets' and page says view and print tickets. Does this mean I can't use the app for entry?

tried to find answer on their site but can't get a definitive answer.

johnpatrick81 · 05-04-2018 9:11pm

How long have their current tour shows lasted? Just over 2 hours?

Yeah, was wondering the same earlier. Still have to print them but both the app and mobile website are giving me receipts usually indicating 'THIS IS NOT YOUR TICKET' so printout it is.

We have just tried to print the tickets using Ticketfast but the links in their email aren't working. The ticketmaster site uis s very specific that the online version isn't accepted. It must be a hard copy.
I'm just hoping I can print them tomorrow.

Ensure you are going to the regular TM site, and not the mobile site.

Yes I've just logged on with a tablet and there they are.
Very poor form from ticketmaster that customers can't print their tickets from their mobile site. They're making things far more complicated than necessary.
Plus Basq you were the one to tell me (thank you) .. not their website. Rant over :-))))
Anyway looking forward to a great gig tonight. Hope we all enjoy their show.

Basq · 06-04-2018 7:55am

Yep, I'm going to send them an email about it anyways as it's a bit of a joke to be fair. What's the point in having mobile site or app for a company referred to as 'Ticketmaster' where you can't access tickets.

Anyways, enjoy the gig!

phunkadelic · 06-04-2018 8:53am

Mobile version of the site is a sheetbox. Even if you force chrome to load the desktop version of the site, it won't allow you to download the pdf with he tickets

Furious-Red · 06-04-2018 9:16am

Seen TM had standing tickets last night that there were standing tickets , Was about to pick one up but tickets were like 79 + fees , Have seen them a few times but dont think i could pay that much. Ill prob get FOMO later on tho :pac::pac:

Ya I'm only going cuz I got free tickets

Definitely wouldn't be paying that price, you'll surely pick some up on toutless or facebook ( just saw one there for €50)
You'd probably even get one cheaper outside tonight

Sheog · 06-04-2018 9:48am

Can't wait!!!! Hoping to duck out of work early. Anyone know who the support is?

innuendo141 · 06-04-2018 9:53am

I had been humming and hawing about this gig the past few weeks and whether I wanted to make the treck to Dublin, but I cant wait now. Finishing work at 4 and straight to Dublin. Love the new album so hoping for a good few from it TBH. Sconced at recent setlists but didnt take in much so whatever they play will be a surprise
