Bloc Party

I got my Bloc Party tickets online at www.ticketmaster.ie for 41,25E a normal price here. This was some weeks ago. The concert was in Phoenix Park, in the Big Top tent.
How to get there? Take the DART or any other way of transport to Tara Street (pretty much in the centre) and there are special buses.The return ticket costs 5E, there is only return.The bus will take you right to the entrance of the concert.
When to go there?We had great bands before Bloc Party: Biffy Clyro, Foals and if you go early enough as I did you get into the pit. This is the area right in front of the tribune.
Why Dublin?Because the crowd here is amazing.Everybody sings and goes crazy.Many bands do their DVDs here because this is the best audience.
Bloc Party?Th e frontman Kele Okere is shy if it is about interviews but here he easily jumped into the crowd. They delievered a great mixture of thei two albums; Silent alarm and A weekedn in the city. With only two records they attract thousands of people and created a sound which would go down well in a live venue or on the dance floor. Okre talked pretty much talking between the songs but this just fired us up.someone throw an Irish flag on the stage, then everybody freaked out. Technical problems( the keyboard didn't work) ruined the original encore but the group delievered another one.Ithink this is excellent performance and until now I didn't hear any bad critics. Songs I liked the most: The Prayer, Banquet, Helicopter, Blue Light, Waitong for the 7.18, Hunting for witches, Where is home.....
