Surprised there was no thread on this.

Gig was last night, probably my gig of the year, some band and jaysus can they rock.

Only downside for me was the merch, 40 blips for a t shirt, 75 for a hoodie, didn't seem to be shifting many at all, drop the prices and they'll sell

Livenation require 25% of the gross merch price aka €10 of the t shirt goes to them. Hence the higher prices

As if it wasn't possible to despise them more.

Peter hook of new order fame tweeted about Olympia theatre looking for 25%. He quickly deleted it as I’m sure he knew that publicly criticising live nation here would not help him in long run

The local pubs are missing a trick in not doing a merch pint combo stall

Sensational performance. Loved it.

I didn't bother with this but maybe regretting it now. I love them but feel they're losing their way with the recent releases being more pop and all in English. I saw them in Paris earlier this year and it was a great gig in fairness, but I've been increasingly turned off by the new tracks and the style of some of the recent publicity and promos they've done.

I also feared the crowd would be very young and obsessive teen-ish on the back of the recent stuff, so decided against. Glad to hear it was a great gig even if I missed it.
