The show was far better than I expected it to be, both in terms of quality and feeling. I was emotional during the pōwhiri before their set; that’s something I’ve never seen before, especially from an international act, and the reaction from the crowd was great. Then I was emotional throughout their set, and was absolutely joyous by the time they got to Alive. What a fucking great night.
The pōwhiri was INCREDIBLE! Every visiting artist should do that. Way a way to set the tone, and the intention, of the night. Are you going to go again Kylie?
They totally should, and it totally did. I considered it but I’ve spent loads on concert tickets lately (not as much as you!), and I’m worried that it might not have the same feeling as Friday and I really want to hold onto that. I really hope it does though.
Just four songs? That's impressive - most bands just tour the same songs, doing the same circuit. It's pretty cool they can just play an entirely different show.
I’m up from Welly so decided to make a weekend. Plus you don’t know if they will be back. And agree Pixies were very lacklustre. Liam Finn was a bundle of fun and energy in comparison

Me too! I’ll let you know!
Sounds amazing!!!!! I saw them in Dublin and Manchester this year and they were just fantastic....especially in Dublin!!!!!
Nice one! Were they completely different setlists? I'm hoping for a completely different show at the second one...
Pretty much!!!! Maybe about 4 songs the same!!! We were lucky with the Manchester gig as the band were poorly!!!! They cancelled the next few shows!!

Can't wait!
They consistently play a different set every night some similar, new songs and Even Flow but they mix it up completely
Totally agree. Such a life affirming show. A really great crowd relaxed and happy. Can’t wait to see it again Sunday
You’re going again too? Don’t blame you. Life-affirming is a great way to describe it :)

Pixies did not want to be there. Just seemed … bored?
