Hotels for The Waterboys Fisherman's Blues Revue

Fisherman's Blues turned thirty a few years back, and this revue is built around that record's folk-rock sprawl of fiddles, mandolins and rolling choruses. A Saturday evening slot means a full night of it, with no early curfew pushing things along. Expect a setlist leaning hard into the Celtic-soaked songs that made that album different from the band's earlier new wave work — this is about the fiddle and mandolin years, not the hits package. Fans who grew up on that particular record tend to travel in numbers for shows built around it.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
