Verenita, I hope it's Vyv! :)

An email from Wynona at Fortitude...

Hi John,

Hope you're well.

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm glad Fortitude has been the source of your news!

In terms of the new album, there's a lot of rumours flying around the press world at the moment surrounding it. I can't 100% confirm an album, because we don't deal with Damien's management/PR, BUT, we have seen many publications who do deal with them confirm a new album (for example, if you read Nialler9's piece).

Sorry I can't be of more help. I would be 99% sure there'll be an album on the way given the way press have been reacting lately and discussing things, but unfortunately I can't give you the 100%. Nialler9 should help though.

Thanks again John,
Wynona.

Response from nailer9:

Industry sources. The SXSW show was due to happen but was pulled the next day after it was announced because, I was told, that the album wasn't done yet.

carrroline 05-08-2014 09:24 AM

I tried to get a ticket, thought I'd figure out the rest later.
Sold out already.

Wow that was ****ed up. When i finally got out of the queue it said "SOLD OUT".
Then i reloaded the Homepage instantly was shown the "buy now" button and voila i was able to buy a ticket. When finished no confirmation was shown but the queue again. But i got an E-Mail confirmation so i guess i got a ticket

Gatsby 05-08-2014 09:32 AM

Good to see some people got tickets. Twitter is going nuts with people saying the site crashed/they are still in the queue/this is a shambles!

Wasn't that fortunate myself. Ah well.

Congrats :)
I got to the buy now button, but I couldn't confirm.
I'm happy for you!

borneoman 05-08-2014 09:58 AM

couldnīt buy tix, that site was bull****, worst site in the history of sites :( the site crashed well before 10 :(

please let me know if you got spares

carrroline 05-08-2014 12:17 PM

Some idiot selling a ticket for 189 euro on ebay… grrrrrrrrrrrr

blower'sdaughter 05-08-2014 02:49 PM

look at the facebook page of the whelan's
https://www.facebook.com/whelanslive

they are soooo proud to have him

Chrysler 05-08-2014 03:42 PM

thats odd. i only was offered a ticket for "Box Office Pickup", so i assumed there weren't any print-at-home tickets available, which naturally makes selling them on ebay a bit harder.

Shillelagh 05-08-2014 07:36 PM

"Rice has recently been living in Ibiza"

Gatsby 05-09-2014 12:41 AM

Sold out in less than 60 seconds reportedly.

This media hype in Ireland has really boosted his profile again and no doubt a sold out in 60 seconds gig will do even more.

Luckily a friend of mine got a ticket for me (praise jebus!).

I'm actually really excited to revisit seeing Damien live again and in my favourite venue possible. It's been a long wait!

Shillelagh 05-09-2014 02:16 AM

Please record everything. Please.

cuuliem 05-09-2014 09:40 AM

So there is 2 of you coming right? Marti and I have managed to get tickets but weeee too expensive. Hope the stout will show up to collect the tickets.

This. This exactly.

eva_arg 05-09-2014 08:42 PM

^Yes, please! That would be great

Chrysler 05-11-2014 05:14 PM

Does anyone know if the the gig will be seated in any way?
