Might take a few weeks if they aren’t being rescheduled for 2023.

they might announce it after the current tour wraps up here in europe. An announcement of additional 2024 shows just as the 2023 dates have finished makes sense.

Them coming back next year for just those shows wouldn’t make sense.

Feel if the shows were for that gap in the current schedule they'd be announced by now but you wouldn't know

I would imagine they will postpone to 2024 where they are likely back in Europe / UK for some headlining of festivals. i have given up hope it will happen this year especially with Travis wife being due shortly. they may end up postponing all the October Europe gigs due to that

Ya they shouldn't be announcing a reschedule for any time soon considering the chances of a second cancellation.

Possibly tag the gigs on to the end of the tour so possibly end of Feb on the way back from New Zealand.

It will have to be as part of next proper EU dates. Shipping an arena show for 3? Postponed shows just doesn’t make logical or financial sense for any act.

sure Kasabian pushed the Olympia show back till next proper run and they live in the uk

New album looks like it’s coming out on 20th October so on the plus side they’ll be playing new material when they play Dublin

PTH2009 · 18-09-2023 3:44pm

No word yet

There back in the UK on the 11th-16th Oct before back to the states for 21st Oct.

Be next year before they play here, looks like they’ve passed on the gap they had at the end of this month. Interestingly I’ve read they may be touring with 21 Pilots next summer (I assume in the US) so no idea where that puts the Irish and Glasgow shows.

If a similar tour is hitting Europe then a summers night in Marley Park or Malahide could be on the cards

Be fairly shite if it ended up being moved there and they gave presale to 3 Arena ticket holders. No interest in 21 Pilots and they're much more suited to indoors

Nigel Fairservice · 18-09-2023 5:30pm

Wouldn't fancy it being moved to Marlay Park. It was a curse when they moved Green Day there.

It wasn't bad this summer for Leppard & Crue

antimatterx · 18-09-2023 5:45pm

Malahide I'd happily take. That's an upgrade on the 3 arena. Marlay Park I'd probably request a refund. I hate going to that hell hole.

Nigel Fairservice · 18-09-2023 6:14pm

3 Arena suits me down to the ground. We don't live in Dublin but can get the bus up and down the same night from the quays. No time off needed from work wither. I'm hoping it stays put anyway.

Malahide an upgrade on the 3Arena, no its not.

It absolutely is. If it goes ahead there

It's now outdoors in the summer.
Better location.
3 Arena is shocking for gigs.

Outdoors in the rain possibly, in a field on the far North side of Dublin.

A much more inaccessible venue.

Much inferior sound, no seats, poorer screens, too much daylight, worse facilities etc etc.

3 Arena is more accessible and has better sounds.

That doesn't make any sense.

It's horrible to get out of - unless you leave before the end of a gig to get the luas home. You can hop on the Luas from 3Arena, and 15 mins later, you are in city centre.

It's seldom the sound at an outdoor gig will beat the sound of an indoor gig. I've heard a few people complaining about the sound in 3Arena over the years, but I don't recall having a bad experience, and I have been to many gigs there. The sound at outdoor gigs is generally waned by wind, people chatting etc.

Advocators of outdoor gigs are generally there more for the occasion than the music spectacle. Which is fine. Each to their own. But to say that Malahide is better location than 3Arena is a bit silly (except for those living in Malahide of course!!). I went to see the Cure there. Grand gig, but would never visit there for another concert. Same with Marley Park.

Two new songs from the album dropped today.

One More Time is very much this album's Adam's Song or I Miss You. It's a great song but the auto tune is pretty distracting.

The video is a serious nostalgia trip that might leave a lump in your throat.

More Than You Know is a mix of the Cheshire Cat/Dude Ranch era with some Neighborhoods vibes too. Could have seen this being a BCR song either. It's a banger IMO.
