About As It Is

A midweek gig for fans who grew up on this band's brand of emo-tinged pop-rock, the kind of show where the crowd knows every word before the first chorus lands. Doors open early enough for a full evening out, with support acts warming up the room before the headline set. Expect a young, passionate crowd, plenty of singing along, and a setlist that leans on the songs that made people fall for this band in the first place. Wednesday nights like this tend to be less rowdy than weekend shows, but no less loud when it counts.

Where to stay nearby

Dublin itself is the obvious base, just 2km from the venue and with by far the widest choice of hotels, so you can walk or take a short taxi ride to the show and back. Clondalkin and Swords both sit further out, roughly 10-13km away, and work well if you're after something quieter or better value, with regular bus links into the city centre. Either satellite town means a bit more planning for a midweek gig, so factor in some travel time before doors open.
