    Anyone going to this? Hoping the snow doesn't hit it too bad...

    They've announced a Foals DJ set for the UK leg starting March 2nd, gutted, would have been an incredible freebie!

    Fingers crossed that it's not cancelled...Looking forward to it.
    Missed them the last time they were playing, and sure the Olympia has to be one of the best venues in town!

    Do we know who the support is?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Chavways


    Travelling up from Limerick and dreading the journey if its bad but really want to go. No idea who is supporting but I see Sundara Karma are supporting them in the UK next week. Hoping it is them. Best band I discovered in 2017.

    David Kitt is supporting.

    Also keeping fingers crossed that the weather doesn't affect the gig


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Chavways


    Where do ye think it would be announced if the gig was cancelled? Red alert for Dublin doesn't bode well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 148 ✭✭Robyn_14


    I guess it would be on the MCD website? Or Ticketmaster? I’ve been checking those

    shops are open, lot of businesses are open, most public transport still running...can't see it being cancelled unless things go downhill quite a bit throughout the day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Chavways


    I emailed MCD. Awaiting a response.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,687 ✭✭✭blacklilly


    I'm also keeping an eye out. Weather is set to worsen throughout the day, I think if public transport stops the gig will be cancelled, otherwise no reason for it to be really.

    Does anyone know if the band are flying in today or are they already here?

    Not sure if we should take that as gospel.

    Called the Olympia and they are still planning to go ahead but awaiting an update and they will announce on Twitter and FB if anything changes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    Still seems to be going ahead, it's gonna be tough to get home from, I don't wanna miss it, but I also don't wanna get stuck in town

    Halfway to Dublin...lucky someone called me to let me know!


  • Registered Users Posts: 148 ✭✭Robyn_14


    A joke really, we all knew it would be cancelled and they kept saying no... people trying to make an effort to go.. and their response was “ if you miss the gig and have insurance you’ll be reimbursed”
    I’m glad it was postponed as so many people will miss it though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    once Dublin Bus decided to pack it in from 7PM, it was unlikely to go ahead I guess. very little snow throughout the day in the city centre, roads are pretty clear, but there's supposed to be lots of snow showers later tonight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭Colonel Panic


    I was almost considering driving in. They're my favourite band, but glad it's going to be rescheduled.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    the band are in Bison Bar on the quays at the moment, and will be in the Workman's Club later, according to them on twitter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,183 ✭✭✭jobless


    surely red warnings should mean venues close to avoid all this nonsense of cancelling at the last minute.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 791 ✭✭✭viv2


    Rescheduled to the 7th October
