Bloc Party - Oct 22nd

skeleton_boy · 24-03-2018 10:13am #1

Ticket sorted in the presale this morning.

Really excited. Silent Alarm was released around the time I started listening to "bands" so it's an album I have a real fondness for. Hope we get a few from the second and third album also.

So Here We Are...

heebusjeebus · 24-03-2018 10:17am

Just got sorted myself.
It's an amazing debut album that is tough to top.
I tend to listen to Intimacy and A Weekend In The City more than Silent Alarm but there are always one of two songs I'd skip in those albums.
Silent Alarm is just wall to wall class.

Bloc Party! · 25-03-2018 1:06am

Can anyone Pm me a code also?

I'm really On the fence for going to see these guys. Silent alarm is an amazing album possibly the best in the 2000s. But with the new members... Idk I prefer the original bass player and drummer. I feel like the energy won't be the same. Matt tong was in a different world when drumming on silent alarm. Can the new members replicate such energy? I'll probably still get a ticket but if the shows get negative reviews I be the first one selling ðŸ˜‚

I forgot about the presale and when I go on now there only seems to be seated tickets. Does that mean standing are gone already?

Lol at Bloc Party headlining the 02 in 2018 - the current year. I wouldn't put Silent Alarm on a top 50 list of albums around that era.

Interpol's worst is light years better than Bloc's best and I doubt they could play the o2 now. At their peak of popularity they were only playing Olympia over here.

This gig should have been put in the button factory. Damn shame Interpol aren't taking their TOTBL tour over here , but these chancres (who haven't be relevant in donkeys years) are.

I know music is subjective but I cant agree. Interpol are bang average

The best part of your post is where you confirm to the uninformed that 2018 is the current year.

Do you have a blog we can subscribe to, or a document type thing to keep us informed of both music and dates?

Whats that non sequitur got to do with the price of tea in Aldi?

Band Of Horses are a far deeper and greater band than Bloc and they were on during the day. Horses would not head line a show at the 02. Not even if 'The Funeral' was featured 5 times on the set-list.

I'm not going to sit here and say your opinion is wrong .. but your opinion is bogus.

bigpink · 20-04-2018 12:10am

Would this sell well?

Burty330 · 20-04-2018 12:15am

It wouldn't sell out Vicar St , never mind the Point Depot.

Burty330 · 20-04-2018 12:17am

Not even Billy Idol was big enough to play the 02.. Billy freaking Idol !!

Ah lad give it a rest would ya:pac::pac: , Last time they were here they sold out two nights in the Olympia and prob could have done an extra one.
They wont sell out the 3Arena but they will still pull a decent crowd

Do keep up Dear, you're letting yourself look flustered, if you're going to rant, at least be consistent and follow the thread.
Chap pointed out that you were incorrect in saying that they were not taking the TOTBL tour here, they already have.

Burty330 · 20-04-2018 12:21am

Just to hammer home this sad joke home even further

You said Interpol didn’t bring their totbl tour over here when they quite clearly did. I never mentioned anything about band of horses or even bloc party for that matter. Just correcting your mistake ;-)

flasher0030 · 20-04-2018 10:01am

Is burty not right though? Do people listen to bloc party anymore. After first 2 albums, they then became pretty irrelevant. I’m not saying they are no good. But 3arena? I hope it sells well, cause a half full venue makes for an underwhelming gig. I was at kasabian there last year. It was 3 quarters full. And took away from it. And that’s one of the top live acts around now.

I think most people recognise that there's little chance of a sell out. I'd imagine it was either a choice of multiple nights in the Olympia, or a curtained off/unsold 3Arena, and the latter was best for a time/cost POV. As usual, Dublin could desperately do with a 4k-7k indoor venue.

digging up a month old thread to have a bizarre rant and comparing Band of Horses (of all people) to Bloc Party, is quite entertaining though.

What's the point in these comparisons? This is a thread about Bloc Party.
What's the reason for all this salt? Did Kele steal your boyfriend on a night out?
