Muse, Saturday November 3rd, O2 Arena, Dublin
Muse are made for arena tours, are one the few music acts who constantly break the mould, don’t sound like anyone else and who are dedicated to making their lives show a spectacle for all their fans. Be prepared to sweat, get drenched in other people’s sweat and experience a visual feast!
Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour, Monday November 5th, O2 Arena, Dublin
She looks like a human Rainbow Bright, says things girls aren’t supposed to and her back catalogue of hits will get you shaking your ‘bootay’ like a mad woman. Forget the gym – all you need is a few hours of Nicki in your life. Round up your girlfriends and get booking.
Bon Iver, Monday 12th November O2 Arena, Dublin
If you’re in the mood for dreamy, melancholy folk music then this is the one for you. Their last Dublin gig in the former Grand Canal Theatre sold out in 30 minutes so it makes sense that the band are taking their sound to a larger venue. We just hope such an intimate sound won’t get lost in such a vast setting.
Orbital, Saturday 10th November, Ulster Hall, Belfast
Anyone who is lucky enough to have seen Orbital play live will testify that they are possibly one of the best electronic music acts EVER! The Hartnoll brothers give their gig goers everything they want – they play the hits and put on a great light show and this performance as part of 25: Electronic Music in Belfast 1987-2012 won’t disappoint.
2 Many DJ’s Live, Friday 16th November, The Olympia
Dust off your dancing shoes and get ready to party because the Belgian DJ duo are back! 2 Many DJ’s have been touring relentlessly for the last couple of years under their many guises (Soulwax, Nite Versions, Radio Soulwax) and have a huge Irish fanbase so get your tickets fast.
