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.

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?

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

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

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.

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"

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 10:11pm

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 8:55am

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 9:53am

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 10:16am

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

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

innuendo141 · 06-04-2018 10:53am

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
