    Yep, gutted at the news. One of the finest bands of recent times.

    Delighted Dublin is one of the final 3 shows - should be fantastic albeit bittersweet

    Any word on a support act for this? Am travelling from Cork and trying to figure out how much time I will have to grab dinner beforehand!

    Doors are at 7 according to the Olympia site so I would presume that there is someone else on first?

    Bump, on this coming Thursday. Saw it advertised so assume there's still tickets available

    This is a great watch if you're looking for something to warm you up



    To the poster above, since it's their last show they mightnt bother with a warm up. I really do hope it sells out though.

    EDIT Only upper circle available on TM

    There will be no support act. They have stated that they will play an extended set covering all their albums.

    Typically in Olympia it's 9pm. That is presuming they have support etc, no idea if they are doing extra long shows for final tour that would merit them coming on earlier. I doubt it. You can check official Olympia site for official times.

    I was banking on it being close to that anyway, don't want to miss them opening because I'm stuffing my face!

    Can't wait for this one, bittersweet as it is.

    Hopefully it will be a bumper setlist

    Confirmed that they're due on stage at 8:30pm

    What's the story with the pit? Just be there for doors opening, get the wristband and come back later?

    Leaving and coming back later always worked for me, up until LCD last September. I think it was because so many people showed up late into the pit the night before (the Wednesday).
    They decided to stop people from leaving and coming back on the Thursday.
    No idea if they are enforcing that since

    Is there a pit in the Olympia for gigs?

    Does it stretch far back? I'm not that fussed about getting super close but I wouldn't want to be stuck a mile away either...

    It's not a big pit, so if you were early enough to get in then you'll have a great view, even if you hang back against the railing.

    An incredible band and an incredible send off. I’m considering going over for the London show. My favorite gig ever, not even close.

    Incredible. Difficult to put in words what went on last night. A band that constantly excited and intrigued during their time. They will be sadly missed.
