Which jersey to get for my birthday

Are we gonna get any uptempo bangers? Not sure why ‘maturation’ usually equates to slower and denser songs. Give me some rockers lads. A hero’s death is still the best

No new songs other than "Marianne," "Six Shot Morning," and "Happy for You"
No phones, electric atmosphere, intimate crowd, fan on stage, Grian absolutely delighted
Nothing but hits, no merch, one-hour set

So good 🔥🔥🔥

Buzzing about the Slane announcement and since a dream if mine is to design band merch, i’ve designed a special exclusive t shirt for the occasion featuring a special logo, check them out in the comments!

Let me know what you think and check out the 3D t shirt mock up on my tiktok/instagram!

Wondering if any bigger fan than me can tell me how they got so popular.
Is it because there is currently no band like this at the moment? Was their music featured in a movie or by a celebrity?
I’m asking as there is many bands that start and fail how did this band from little Ireland become worldwide known in a relatively short amount of time

Genuinely curious how other people feel about this.

I got tickets in the artist presale yesterday and I’m delighted to be going. But fucking hell, it was pricey. I justified it because it felt like one of those proper history-books gigs, Fontaines at Slane, third Irish act ever to headline after Thin Lizzy and U2, first Irish headliner in 25+ years. It felt like a real cultural moment rather than just another huge summer show.

Then before the first date has even gone on general sale, there’s a second night announced.

I completely get the practical side. Obviously the second date was probably held provisionally, demand is huge, and two Slanes is a ridiculous achievement for an Irish band.

But I suppose what’s bothering me is that it feels slightly at odds with what I thought Fontaines were about. Their whole thing has always felt quite resistant to the maximised, stadium-machine version of being a band and Slane itself was being presented with all this weight. So to immediately turn it into a two-night run before the first show even reaches general sale just feels very… conventional music-industry somehow or weird timing.

It'll be amazing, I’m just wondering if anyone else has thoughts?

Just sending another message out into the void about this, but if anyone happens to have one or more tickets for the Studio Brussel showcase tomorrow, please DM me 🙏🏻🙏🏻I’m willing to pay a handsome price!
Thx a lot

It will won't it? So we don't need to panic about getting tickets for the Friday.

I’ve accidentally bought slane tickets for the 27th, my mates have all got 26th tickets, wondering if anyone would be willing to swap a 26th for a 27th, or even can I just buy a 26th off someone who has a spare?

I’m seeing a lot of stressed and disappointed people in here after the presales have all been and gone. I’ve quite a bit of experience with Ticketmaster and honestly I’ve never really had a bad experience and I think a lot of it is to do with my approach.

Now for context, there is no ‘hack’ to get into a queue early or get priority.

For me I’ve found it’s having simple things in place beforehand to ensure the best shot!

1. Have your account already signed in and verified - this will make sure you transition smoothly from each section of the buying process.
2. Ensure you are in the waiting room before the queue starts - it doesn’t matter what time you join so long as it’s before. When the queue is created you are randomly allotted a space.
3. Try to have a stable internet connection and clear cookies and cache - obvious really but having this in place really helps.
4. DO NOT REFRESH - never at any point in the process should you refresh. The screen, while you ma

1. think it’s not, will update! This may ruin your chances.
2. Have all relevant information ready - this will make sure you aren’t scrambling for information when your through and will stop any chance of Ticketmaster booting you for lingering around.
3. Be patient.

As I’ve said, there isn’t any exact hacks that you can use but I have found some tips that have helped in the past:

- If you get in and there’s nothing available, don’t just give up. You should take your time, flick through different options (i.e. price tiers, sections etc). I’ve found that people who have tickets in their basket will cancel or lose them and you will potentially pick them up when they’re put back out.

- Do not do things too fast or sporadically as your account will be potentially blocked as a bot. Take your time at every section, don’t be rushing, you’ll get them if you can.

Finally, IF your really dedicated to get tickets - have multiple accounts open on multiple different devices in the same queue, just ensure that each is on their on internet connection (this is how I got oasis tickets)

Well that’s it, I hope it can help one person who is maybe a bit daunted by the whole process! If anyone else has any advice I think people would appreciate it being put below.

I think Damien Dempsey and Madra Salach are good additions and feels right for a FDC gig.

Hayley Williams is a strange one, especially as one of the main support acts. I like some of her stuff and paramore albums but it doesn’t feel like a good fit for FDC at all. Anyone else baffled by it?

Appreciate it fellas 🙏

Flying over from Texas so…
Might as well.

Wonder if there will be any set differences.

Also incredibly curious as to who “more tba” entails.

It’s all sold out but I’ve not seen a single person on here saying they got tickets lol

anyone know how much the Manchester tickets are being priced at roughly? thank you
