12/05/19 Dublin Olympia
 

The closest thing to a hometown show. Love the Olympia. One of my favourite Manics gigs was here, Easter Sunday 97. Count me in :)

I'm debating this one or the London one...

Checking in for the Dublin gig, 3 of us travelling down from the North.

Is it sold out already. Trying to buy four tickets but no luck.

Got one for the Upper Circle. Was trying (and failing) to get Fleetwood Mac tickets at the same time :(

I dunno man. I wouldn't be paying 90 quid to see them without Lindsey Buckingham. Then again I wouldn't pay that even if he was playing. Every summer it's just wall to wall legacy acts.

Truth never been one of my favourites so decided it's not worth the trek to Dublin. A JFPL 10th anniversary tour next year would be more up my street.

I missed the news of the gig and sale also, gutted but will be going. Someone hopefully will have a spare; looked at viagogo and standing tix were there but do not want to have any dealings with them.

One will eventually come up on Toutless.com though probably not til about March at the earliest.

Viagogo can go fuck itself...

4-5 weeks away; if anyone, anywhere, has one Standing ticket, please keep me in mind for what promises to be a superb gig :)

Starting to get a little bit excited for this one.......

Same here. First show of the tour too, so it will be interesting to see what other songs are played with TIMTTMY and how they work it, whether it will be as before ALBUM then HITS AND "DEEP CUTS" or will they work the album in throughout the set.

From the polls for set openers and closers they did on social media I'm hoping they'll mix things up a little on this tour rather than simply play the album. Whilst the pacing of THB and EMG works for a live playback, I'm not sure TIMTTMY works in the same way.

Can't wait for this!!!

Anyone know would it be 9pm when they're on? The ad online for Olympia stated 7-10pm but upon ringing them they said 9pm the Manics actually take the stage. It's been a long 4.5 years since I last saw them; December 2014 HolyBible tour. Time flies...

I have a standing ticket for sale at face value.

Normally the show starts at nine, although I was almost caught out a few weeks back by Suede going on stage at eight. Search for stage times in the day is the gig, but if in any doubt I'd make sure to be inside the venue by eight

The band usually come off stage between 10:30 and 10:45. Not sure if they have support for Dublin so it might be earlier...

Still selling a standing ticket for this if anyone needs one!

Are setlist updates still a thing on here or is it all on Twitter these days?

Merchandise is poor :cry:

:( All I want is a mug with a white inner.

Anyway, have fun if you're there!

Merch is worse than poor, support were .... different, but man the frequencies were messed up, I'd say a few people will end up with tinnitus from them.

Also, they're setting up for the extra guitarists so I'm expecting a low energy gig, shame but I guess they are getting on.

:( All I want is a mug with a white inner.

Anyway, have fun if you're there!

I'm guessing the first half will pretty much be the revised album listing.

Merch pics anyone?

Well it's first show, appreciating both the updates and resolve of those who went spoiler free!

This a legit SLEEPFLOWER! or a wishful thinking one? I'll take that... Don't even know where to find setlists in progress these days :-/

Solitude sometimes

People give in

Lindz streamed it live on Facebook. Definitely real.
