Spotted this just now;
Dublin - May 25th & 26th - Academy
Belfast - May 27th - Limelight
Limerick - May 28th - Dolan's
I haven't seen them since 2017 so I'm well overdue.
Got tickets for Limerick! Will 100% be a sell out way before the show
Dolans all the way. Smallest venue I'll have seen them play.
Ticket warning posted for Dolans this morning
Clutch, the modern day status quo,
Second night, Friday 29th, announced for Limerick. Thursday night sold out.
I've 2 tickets for the 28th in Limerick but be interested in swapping for Friday 29th if it suited anyone.
Anyone looking for a ticket for tonight the Academy. Can't head in, can get someone to meet outside venue 30 euro.
Never really listened to these lads, but this missus likes them and I've enjoyed the stuff she sticks on. Good night, although it didn't look like the guitarist or bassist moved more than a foot
And qhen did the Academy start only doing Rockshore and Carlsberg? Fucking Sophies choice of shit beer

Someone on Metal Ireland once said the guitarist looks like some lad you'd see strolling out of a bookies. Thought that was a an apt (and very funny) description of him. And yeah, Tim and Dan never move q muscle onstage. Definitely my favourite rock band. Haven't seen them in years though. They're coming to Spain this time though
Gig was only ok I think. The static nature of guitarist and bassist really drags any excitement levels down.
Belfast didn't seem to have the charm that I recall from their performances in the Limelight. Not sure if the bigger venue was a factor or if the setlist was just a bit meh.
I've a ticket going spare tonight in Dolans, if anyone here wants it they can just have it, just DM me. It's a digital ticket so I'll send you a screenshot or a pdf of it.
That's kind of my thoughts on it too I took in the 2nd Dublin show. A decent evening that you wouldn't be raving about.
After seeing the first nights set got hopes for some nuggets but while there were obviously changes seems they've really fixed in staples for this run, on reflection now the first night did get the better one.
Diageo took over from Heineken in Livenation venues here back in Feb or there abouts, shame not to have a better beer option with the fine evening Guinness just doesn't cut it on a warm day. Soon had some cider felt it was the least bad option.
I've tickets to Limerick tomorrow, fingers crossed for a better outing.
Any stage times posted for that yet actually?
Yeah, while I enjoyed Belfast, it definitely wasn't the best show they've done here.
Kicked off well, but somewhere just past the mid point it started to slide and by the end i was bored and glad for it to be over. We did get a new song which was cool and i'm looking forward to hearing it on the new album, but it was after that point in the set that they lost momentum. Would have loved to have fortunate son or red alert for a bit of energy in the last half.
I'd say Limerick will be killer though, that end of week vibe.
