Engine Rooms is one of my locals. It's OK, but my advice is take earplugs. I have never known a venue to be so absolutely bloody deafening.
And, yeah, very strange location.
Nickelback doing an album in full during their debut appearance wouldn’t be a good idea and I don’t think it would happen anyway. It’s not like Green Day doing Dookie or American Idiot which are two ubiquitously huge albums. Nickelback coming out all guns blazing and just doing a solid greatest hits set would go down a storm.
It's just Fontaines playing 4 out of the past 5 years that makes it a bit of a drab booking. Otherwise it's a decent placing.
My initial instincts on Yungblud are less positive, but dunno if I've ever even heard any of their music.
I’d actually look forward to two new younger subs being promoted in Fontaines & Yungblud. The former probably have released the best album of the year and were too low headlining the park, plus the album wasn’t out when they played this year.
