Ah what do you want to know that for?! Sure half the fun is hoping he's do such a song next!


I know Emile Sand the support act - but does anyone know if Naturally7 still tour with MB? I think they've performed at almost every MB concert I've been to and they are such talented guys.

Is she the only support act?

Looks to be. Apparently gates open at 6 and she’s on at 7

Anybody know what the camera policy is for this? I'm coming up from Dun Laoghaire on the Dart so can't exactly just nip back and drop off my camera if I'm refused.

Only info I can find is that professional cameras or cameras with a detachable lens are prohibited.

However there is usually a definition of what is classed as a professional camera, like the lens size etc. Croke Park doesn't specify.

Put the camera around your neck and back, wear a loose fitting jacket/sweater and put your hands up going through the search area.
Most of the stewards will never frisk you.
Obviously at your risk.

Didn't chance it in the end. Only arrived about 20 minutes before Sande started so if I had been turned away I'd have had no chance to go and leave it off.

What was the attendance like for this?

Seems to be the one show that stuck out for me over the last year that was heavily advertised.

Couple pictures from MCD Twitter make it look packed or with plenty of seats left ..

Pitch seating and lower stands were full all around. Definitely spaces in the upper tiers. Surprised to see a few corporate boxes empty as well.

I got goosebumps from Always on my Mind, he has so much charisma interacting with the audience, a great showman

Roaster

Brilliant concert and a funny guy too.

Emile Sande was great too although the sound wasn't great (from the band - too much bass (or maybe it was the way the sound system was set up)) for a couple of her songs.
