Delighted to hear this. This is a remarkable festival, quite different, and full of the unusual.
More info here: http://soundsfromasafeharbour.com They drip feed additional acts and art events, over a number of months. I wonder if there will be a Damien Rice presale for this. Its not yet confirmed, but i would suspect this will be floor standing, as the previous two festivals have been. This brings capacity up to about 1,600. |
Great news !
Thank you Eva. |
I had it confirmed to me that this is an all seated gig, therefore capacity will be the all seated number, which is 1,000 approx.
|
Thanks a lot for the information, Falling At Your Feet !
All Seated ! |
seated is good

I also just spotted, this gig has a 10pm start time,(totally missed this when gig announced) which is much later than usual, this probably is an indication that festival will have another separate event, on at the same venue prior to Damien.
|
noticed the 10pm start time too, weird, seems very very late to me
|
Are we going to get a presale for this ?
|
what a ****ty sale and what a ****ty website they had :/
|
I lined up at the venue this morning before 8am, so was 2nd to buy, i got what i wanted.
Wasn’t prepared to take a chance online. |
everybody is complaining online, nobody got tix cos the site crashed after 10 secs
|
really feel sorry for a lot of fans who didn't get tix
people that grabbed front row tix, went to pay, but then the site crashed so they couldn't pay and lost their seat and ended up ticketless :/ |

I'm very happy for you, i didn't know this is always working ! Lining up at the venue... :icon_thum |
I feel sorry for all the fans who couldn't buy a ticket....
:crybaby2: It was really complicated and stressfull ! A mess ! But finally, with the help of Carole i was able to grab a ticket ! Don't know how, but i've got mine... |

However, for any gigs sold on Ticketmaster, the option remains, to line up at a Ticketmaster agent, there are still some of those left in Iteland |

Thanks for the explanations ! |
The festival has been extended by 3 days, and an official announcement is due tomorrow at 10am, explaining why.
This has led to speculation ( and i stress speculation)that there maybe a second Damien Rice gig in Cork Opera House, or at another venue in Cork |
Unfortunately speculation was unfounded, no additional Damien Rice gigs announced, allthough, lots of other diverse range of acts at this festival
|
Thanks for the news !
Sadly no second gig... |
However, at the previous two festivals, some of the festival headliners, have appeared at pop up ”surprise” gigs, at small & intimate venues,which are announced without warning on social media, or, tickets handed out in Cork City Centre.

Thank you Falling At Your Feet, i hope someone could grab a ticket ! When i tried, the same day you post it, it was too late... Anyway, i've got my ticket, i can't wait ! |
Keep checking, as about half the tickets for this gig were never actually sold, so more may comeup. Looks like the festival organisers held back on half the tickets, precisely why, i don’t know. Invited guests would account for some, but not 500 tickets. I did ask, but i got a very vague reply.

That could be very interesting !!! |
Long form updates
I’m on the Facebook page, but I miss the old posts here. Feeling nostalgic!
|
Mary Hickson was interviewed recently(festival director), and she said Damien would have a choir for his gig next Friday, sounds good.

I'm not on Facebook, but i miss a lot of people who certainly are there... Please come back more if you can ? ;-) |

Thanks for the good news ! I'm curious how many songs will be with the choir...? |
Also announced today, is Damien will have Icelandic support act: Jófríður Ákadóttir.
I would also expect Damien to make an additional appearance at another venue during the festival, this is a feature of this bi-annual festival, where acts pop up for a gig, with almost no notice. If this happens i may catch it, as am in the city centre all day Friday/Saturday & Sunday, as i am going to many other events. They usually post info on these pop up gigs on their twitter page: https://mobile.twitter.com/SafeHarbourFest |
they also recorded something together
https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Up1Q5A_l4/ it doesn't seem like there'll be a festival livestream this year. it was on arte a couple of years ago when Lisa performed |
|
Damien did a very brief surprise set at a Cork hotel, theres a video on the festival twitter page:

Thanks a lot Falling At Your Feet,
you can find some videos on Youtube too ! On the channel: "whenpianostrytobeguitars", https://www.youtube.com/user/whenpianos/videos You can find a lot of videos ! Really don't know how you could manage to film at the Cork Opera House, with the really strict security service... Thank you ! |
