Aha! I did go to this. "They're all very active aren't they?" quipped my friend.

Nearly saw DragonForce.

did Low play there once? I have a distinct memory that I went to see them there but now I’m second-guessing myself about it

update: it was indeed at the ambassador, and now over 20 years ago, wheeeeee

Don't recall that one. I'll have to check my ticket stubs, I was probably there.

They did indeed, and the Corpo supported. They were all "the promoters given us all this free booze and we don't drink, so take it. Drink it. DRINK IT!"

I was at that too. The Thrills played that one too!

2 of my brothers went to it. They said it was hilarious. It was full of guys that were totally off their tits. DJ Shadow would start a tune, people would be getting really into it and then he’d stop the tune and explain the story behind it so everyone who’d taken yokes was really frustrated

Banned.

Looks like it's going to be a seated venue.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Sigur Rós twice in a row, briefly met them all beforehand and they were terrified of talking to people.

Queena of the Stone Age just when Songs for the Deaf came out and Mark Lanegan a while later.

Bauhaus, Therapy, and probably a few others. Last time I was there was to do the haunted house yoke they had set up in it.

Saw The National supported by St Vincent there. They were originally booked for the village and it got moved to the ambassador and then an extra date in the Olympia was added.

St. Vincent went through a weird run of playing in Dublin on either Halloween night or November 1st (can't remember) 3 years running I think. That gig, the year before she opened for Sufjan Stevens and then the following she played with Grizzly Bear in Vicar St.

Saw tricky there. My then girlfriend, now wife bought loads of tickets for all her mates, which weren't cheap, as she'd sold some artwork and had come into a 'windfall'. Also known as payment. I thought she was being ridiculously generous, maybe she was just showing off. Gig was fairly meh unfortunately.
Saw foals there too. They were totally meh
Cinomatically witnessed superman 2, return of the jedi and jungle book, which were all fantastic
