I don't think someone could pay me enough to endure such nonsense...
Will stick with my gigs that range between Completely Free and €25

That's my perfect price range for a gig!

Does Cyprus Avenue not do decent priced gigs? I've never been, but I figured it was the Cork equivalent of Whelans (Dublin), Dolans (Limerick), Róisín Dubh (Galway), or the Oh Yeah Music Hall (Belfast) and would have reasonably priced gigs?

Not too long ago I went on a gig booking spree and purchased tickets to 12 gigs in the space of an hour. Mentioned that to someone afterwards and they assumed I had just dropped several hundred quid, because they tend to go to gigs that cost about €70 or so, and couldn't believe it when I said the total price of all 12 gigs only set me back €93 as they all only cost between €5 and €12. The absolute best gigs I've ever been to are generally the ones that cost the least.

I have 7 concerts in June/July that cost 450 euro- that's before Ticketmaster fees, which probably were another 40-45.

The setlist includes a few b-sides from the first 2 albums, so as a big fan I'm really excited to hear them live for the first time.
Hopefully everyone will be in the mood to stand up and dance the whole time!!
@ShaneU hope you enjoy it!! 🙂

How was Jake Spears too?
I had a quick look at the setlists, I actually know more Duran Duran than I thought but it would have been very front loaded for me with Wild Boys and Hungry Like The Wolf early on
Looks like Jake's set was half Scissor Sisters? I am quite jealous of that
Hope was the crowd, with the seating and all?

Pulp were... well, if I'm honest they were grand but I loved it. Great setlist, great crowd. They murdered a couple of songs but they nailed some of my favourites, especially I Spy and This Is Hardcore.
All in all, very, very enjoyable, even if it might be the worst of the four times I've seen them. The first time was 27 years ago 🙈

Thought about you when I saw the announcement for Explosions In The Sky.
Considering a ticket myself, though I think I have 2 more events that week 🙂
Holding off for now as I hate Monday gigs now that I'm not in Dublin, I'll see nearer the time what things are like workwise etc, see how easy it would be. I've seen them a few times, they are very good
I saw in the other place you're going to Duran Duran and they switched standing tickets to seating on you, that's such a shitty thing to do. Gig goers, particularly at the big venues, are treated like dirt these days, it's so annoying

Pulled a muscle at football last night, nearly gave up on tonight as it's sore as hell but I've missed too many gigs this year so I forced myself out. Now that I'm on my way, I'm really excited. Live music is still a real rush, even after 28yrs of gig-going
As will anyone with good music taste

Glad you had a great time E.N.
Considered it myself but the weather kind of made the decision for me.
Taking a break for the next 2 months as I have a few more in the autumn.
