No Irish Dates? - Page 2 - Forever Delayed

Its really annoying. I wish they just said whether they were going to be adding any more dates. I think we might go to the two Brixton gigs and if they add Dublin and Belfast, maybe them also. However, I don't know if i would go to two more after Brixton, if there's no BSP on the bill

It doesn't seem like there are any gaps to add dates within the schedule, and I'm fairly sure they won't be before, so maybe after cambridge?

They've kicked off their tours in Ireland a few times. TIMTTMY comes to mind when they played in the Cork Opera House and two days later "If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next" was No. 1. Must have been something to do with my hometown.

I can't see them adding a date anywhere before the first UK ones though.

Obviously!

They did kick off the greatest hits tour in Dublin. Awful gig though.

Yeah, but before they announced, I already knew the tour kicked off on the 29th...so I am guessing not.

I wish they just played the Cork Opera house again!! Even the INEC in Kerry would be class.

Christ!

Killarney is possibly the biggest shithole I've been in.

The Cork Opera House would be good. Or The Pavillion, much nicer. Smaller room though. Only holds about 800.

They were awesome in the Opera House, even though Nick was blind drunk.

Yeah I severely doubt the Irish dates (if they even happen) will have BSP. We always get crap support. I remember 2004 everyone got Razorlight and we got some shite band I've never heard of.

Belfast more than likely isn't happening. It's not even a SATT situation where they could do a festival like Belsonic (T Vital's crap replacement) cos the lineup's already been announced.

I don't mind Killarney. I usually drive off into the mountains whenever i got to a gig down there. Which isn't often. I think the NEC is a great venue. Just underused. I prefer it to the olympia, which is always too rammed for my liking. I guess it would be fine if i ever bothered to arrive early and try and get a wrist band.

The Pav is nice. but too small for the manics.

The INEC is a fine venue it's just the shit you have to contend with while you're there is the issue.

As for the Pav being too small; they played Henry's biy! They could play the Savoy, I suppose but it's truly an awful gig-going experience in there.

Yeah. Henrey's was pretty small too. It would be great if the band ever came to Cork again, they played The Pav. The Savoy is more likely. However, they have a strict policy of having nothing other than the odd mediocre Irish band visit the place, from time to time.

I remember they had Belfast on the t-shirts that were on sale on the Forever Delayed tour. No gig their though, I had to go down to Dublin...where I saw the t-shirts..
