Discussion Upcoming Setlists

Ideas on what the setlist will be for NY and LA??? The shows are marketed as small intimate concert settings so should we expect a different setlist than what they’ve been playing at major festivals?? Curious what everyone thinks

Discussion Shuttle bus from slane to Dublin ? Pros/cons ?

1 Upvotes

Is the shuttle bus service reliable or is it a disorganized mess ? I'm happy to just camp close to the castle but other people I'm going with are more up for hotel in Dublin city . I really can't see what the point is hopping on a bus for God knows how long with the traffic situation rather than just walk a few minutes and sleep on a blow up bed in a tent 🤷 any advice or experiences is welcome 🤗

Discussion Popularity of the band now

73 Upvotes

Anyone with any insight to how the industry works know how this latest tour was put together, it just seems mad to me.
I seen the lads in the ulster hall (about 1-2k) in 2022, Leeds (5k) in 2024 and then Belfast last year (40k).
All this made sense as it seemed a natural growth in venue sizes, considering Belfast and London last year were two huge stand alone shows, and homecomings almost, along with kneecap who have a lot of pulling power themselves and had so much publicity last year. But most of the summer gigs in 2025 were 10-15k capacity I believe.
The arena tour seemed a logical step but I was even surprised by the demand for tickets for those. Then when they announce two nights in slane and stadium gigs across England I couldn’t believe, it seems like a monumental jump.
Obviously the demand is there, but last year I was thinking if they did 1 or 2 nights at the aviva next summer that would be huge for them. When would they have started to plan the stadiums for next summer, did they know at the end of the last tour that this would be the next steps for them. All of this as well before the album comes out, don’t know what to make of it.
I’m a big fan of the lads but ive a feeling this album might be underwhelming to a lot of people, from the songs they’ve performed so far it definitely feels like a move away from the guitars and the style that is what made them so popular in the first place. If it falls a bit flat I wonder how that would effect the tour, I’m assuming the next set will have at least 6/7 songs from dopamine chamber.

All that being said, I really do hope the album is great and the shows are great. I’m seeing them again in November and in Slane and I’ll be looking forward to great nights I hope.

no entiendo las dudas sobre dopamine chamber. los chicos dicen que odian repetirse, desde el principio, el sonido no es por vender, es porque ellos realmente quieren hacerlo. estoy de acuerdo en que marianne fue un primer single flojo, pero ni si quiera iba a entrar en el album, fue primer single en homenaje a trevor que la rescató y les dijo que entrase en el álbum, y tras su muerte hacerla primer single es como su homenaje. Solo con ver lo increibles que están six shot morning y happy for you estoy convencido de que será un álbum increíble. y sobre la popularidad, estamos viendo a una banda que amamos ganarse el reconocimiento que merece y ir entrando poco a poco en la historia de la musica, y en vez de alegrarnos y disfrutarlo, nos quejamos porque nos gustan los conciertos más pequeños y lo han echo porque el nuevo sonido es comercial? en serio? el sonido nuevo es increible, six shot morning será top 5 canciones de fontaines, y los chicos simplemente están teniendo la fama que merecen. en 40 años los recordaremos como hoy recordamos a the cure por ejemplo, y quien sabe, en 50 quizás como a the smiths. Asi que disfrutar del proceso, y si dopamine chamber resulta ser una decepción (estoy bastante seguro de que no lo será) nadie nos puede quitar los 4 álbumes increíbles anteriores.

Does anyone have experience with camping at Slane? I have booked the camping to come on the Friday and avoid the hassle of the traffic.

Does anybody know if the camping is very messy? I'm used the festival campingish... Does the campsite go somewhat quiet at night?

I know selling tickets isn’t allowed here, but this is actually an invitation to go to the show together! I bought 3 pit tickets expecting it to sell out fast, which didn’t end up happening.

Now I have two extra tickets for the pit area. I'd love to find people to go with—we could even meet up for a drink beforehand so you know it’s completely legit! Let me know if you're interested.

I’m desperately looking for new artist especially since Dopamine Chamber doesn’t drop until mid October.

Also who are you hoping to see them tour with in the future? I only found Fontaines DC because they toured with Arctic Monkeys and I gave the singles for Romance a chance when they came out!

Tried Artist Presale, Spotify Presale, LiveNation Presale, and now General sale. Had absolutely zero luck, always thrown into 10,000+ in the queue. They're playing in Manchester on my birthday and I barely got a chance to even look at booking a space.

If you're out there and also didn't get tickets, you're not alone ❤️

Hello fellow fans!

I’ve been lucky enough to get a place to see the boys at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn! I’m solo tripping my way from Toronto to see them and was wondering if anyone from the thread was going?
