I’ve been debating it all week. doves v I hate big outdoor gigs. I think the weather has won this round! Hopefully they’ll come back headlining and play somewhere like the Olympia!

They will definitely be back, at least that is what I am telling myself. Thought about going anyway but no.

Enjoyed last Saturday, the line up was good and well suited rather than insert random band that promoter uses to fill a slot but doesn't fit with the rest of the bill.
 
Man, Durand Jones in Whelans...

I am having terrible luck with concerts and timing this year. Nubya Garcia - got tickets only to be struck down with a really bad virus for 24 hours.
I'm in work till 3 in Belfast, I'd have to get to Dublin for 7:30 and then drive home after to be up for work at 7 the next day. Bloody mandatory staff training too. Not even days I can get around. I'm gonna sleep on it.

The touring schedule of lots of bands seems to be leaving out Belfast now, it’s like we’re heading back into the 80s. Like Janelle Monae would easily fill Ulster Hall say. I missed Lemonheads earlier this year due to a flu and have caught less concerts this year than any other since i’ve Started going.

I didn’t think it was Whelans but that what it says on the official site. Black Pumas album is also fantastic and that one is on a Saturday! Yay! But another band not having BELFAST on their list @Murfocakes

I think it’s a lot to do with the venues these days. They seem to be pigeonholing that certain acts won’t sell here. Alternative or dance seems to be the main genres. Blacks box always seems the best bet these days but it’s small.
