Belfast woud suit better but dont see a floor plan for tickets.

Dublin would be the show though. Pitch 2 tickets there would be the dream

Ebay sales for 150 for pitch 1 a piece, that pretty much double.

Is their anthore threas for buying and selling that could help me out. Apologies for the hijacking of the thread

You could set up an alert on twickets.com, tickets are sold at face value.

Belfast is just an open field. All Standing.

How so? Got pretty good reviews last time there. It's also worth noting it's a mini festival of sorts so there may be about 3 other acts on the bill there.

What do you base this on? I think gigs in Belfast are on the whole better run than Dublin and going general the crowds are more up for them. The Vital gigs in particular are like mini one day festivals and combined with the CHSQ week of gigs run the same week lead to a great atmosphere in the city.

Been to 2 big gigs in Belfast. Chillis in Boucher Road and green day in ormeau park. Both were up there with some of the best atmospheres/no hassle I've ever been to. They're literally just fields with a stage put up but the ease of access to and from the venue is top class.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Boucher Road over the RDS tbh and I'm going to both.

Saw them last time in Belfast. I would agree with others here, the venue is great. We got the bus up front Dublin and wandered in around doors, we got right up front for the foos, was perfect.

May have shown my ignorance in my last posts. Thanks for making it more clear for me.

Wonder if there is any chance that QOTSA will support?

Dont think they have anything the pipeline so doubt they will be around next summer.

I don't know if I could take that much excitement in one day

It wouldn't be a Foo Fighters gig without speculation if QOTSA will support!

QOSTA mighta sold out the RDS, hard to decide who is the bigger act here

Ah I dont think they are as popular as you believe they are. Foo's are without a doubt way bigger

damianmcr

I agree with Sean.

Last time I seen qotsa in Belfast the arena had the curtain up at the back as it was a small crowd.

TheIrishGrover

I know there is that close association between QUTSA and FF but I don't think they would support them. They are in an odd position where they are too big to support anyone but probably wouldn't be big enough to easily fill a stadium. I know the RDS is a smaller venue but I think they'd do something like 2 days in The Olympia on their own rather than the RDS.

I see Greta Van Fleet supporting.

Woolygloves

Saw QOTSA in 3 last year, amazing, but agree they don't have as broad appeal as the Foos. Lot of the older crowd don't know who they are whereas DaveG has been collecting fans for decades. QOTSA would scare away the selfie brigade too I think.

QOTSA pretty much sold out the Point last year so that's their venue size I think, the Olympia is too small for them but that would be unbelievable to see.

I thought they were only ok at the last 3Arena show , Felt their first 3Arena show was a lot better.

Is that a bad thing ?:pac::pac::pac:

It's a great thing, it's just another reason QOTSA might not sell out the big arenas.

I'm just guessing who will be in support.

There's nothing official so far.

last Qosta 3arena show was terrible. Sound was terrible.

Then caught them with IGGY in London and sound/day was amazing.

They are playing the Olympia in March, they'd hardly come back to do support?

I actually meant "The Point". Yeah. Brain Fart on my behalf

Well considering they're going to be all over Europe during the summer I can't see a better way of advertising an up and coming band than supporting the Foos

Anyway watch this space I guess.

I guess where i was sitting, lower tier seats facing the band was so Bass heavy that the mids and treble weren't cutting through.

Barely heard any guitar solos/vocals.

LoughNeagh2017

I don't know what people see in this band, it's such bland rock music, there's just nothing about them or his voice either. At least other generic rock bands like Oasis and U2 had a bit of swagger about them.

scruff monkey

I don't know why you'd wade into a thread about a band* with nothing to offer but an opinion that you don't like them purely so that you can sh1t stir and hopefully set something off.

please do one.

k thx bai.


* Note : This can refer to either FF / QOTSA or the other group mentioned as possible support, same point applies.

Oasis? I don't think standing on stage in a long coat with your hands behind your back is swagger

Musical taste much like tastes in food, its all subjective.

that poster is probably off in the recipe forum finding & making worthwhile contributions to some other thread "I hate shepards pie, mince, spuds, nothing special, very bland"

These guys are great live.

Even if the music fails you.. Pele's stand up comedy will have you in stitches.

ah c'mon, if you look up 'swagger' in the dictionary you'd probably a picture of Liam Gallagher

anyway, off topic

That'd be great, from the R&L bill Distillers look the only fit really. I'd like Pvris as I missed their gig last year but not sure if that would work.

Was only thinking Pvris the other day, I seen Distillers are playing another festival with FF as well as Reading & Leeds

Is that 100% confirmed? - son pissed he could get a ticket for their show in the Olympia so this would be great to see them and FF

Appreciate any info

I had asked the same question as you. I understood it as a statement too originally. The poster is making a prediction. Not saying that they actually read it somewhere.

I doubt they'll be the support.
