Arcade Fire possibly? In Ireland a couple of days later. Announce it late in case there’s any push back. Personally think it would sell.

Tbf they are yet to announce any UK dates. So it can't be ruled out just yet.

I keep seeing people on the Glasto thread claim maybe they're too old to know who certain acts are...

Gonna reverse that for once, I'm too young I'm assuming but who?

Probably less a case of age and more background. 

Finsbury Park area has always had a significant Irish population so the venue makes sense in that regard.

Exactly.

The Fleadh ran successfully for many years in the park.

Are MCD not promoting the Malahide events this year?

[Dales]

They are an iconic Irish band , rebel songs etc but saying that the generally play smallish venues, so a real odd booking.

Club 85 is a great venue. Seen Shikari and Jeffrey Lewis there, as well as a mates band. Was weird for Jeffrey Lewis though as everyone was sitting down at tables so I had to awkwardly stand up behind them on my own

[pedrogooch]

Come Out Ye Black & Tans is a banger, for sure.

3 nights at Electric Ballroom is still less than 5k though. Finsbury is pretty enormous by comparison.

Look like they’ll be lucky to get through the gig without any of them keeling over…
