Yes, just in time for the Christmas presents, there’s two impressive gigs announced within seconds of each other. Arcade Fire and the Pixies is sure to sell out in seconds, and I’d imagine it will be one of those ticketmaster clicking battles I tend to lose. Stayed tuned on Friday to see how grumpy I am, for details!

Elbow are another band worth checking out and their gig at IMMA, Royal Hospital Kilmainham goes on sale on Thursday. I’d imagine it will be less of a battle.
