2013.08.21 Belsonic Festival, Belfast, Ireland

[JamesCmuse]

So, NIN confirmed with And So I Watch You From Afar to play the 21st of August.

Who's gonna be there?

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, I should be there. Tickets go on sale when I'm in Manchester for Muse though. GAH.

[Casbah]

Meeeeeeeeeee! But since I haven't posted in about 6 years, nobody will know who I am anymore :(

[slave2thewage]

Gah, do you think this will sell out right away? I'll be in Manchester on Friday morning and probably won't be able to get online until the afternoon.

[Scarlet Siren]

A friend of mine has just brought this to my attention. Thinking of attending! I'll be going to Leeds and Reading afterwards, not sure if this is overkill :\

[Zannnou]

I'll be attending too. A headline gig is nice, hoping a long set :D
Happy to see AIWYFA live again too...

[JamesCmuse]

Got my tickets this morning! Queued outside the local ticketmaster. And when I say queued I mean I was the only person there at 9 O'Clock..

[Scarlet Siren]

See you there!!!

[Surefirelola]

Got my ticket, so very excited!!

[Sutekh]

Going 100%... What a bargain

[slave2thewage]

Ticket bought for me. EXCITED.

[Mutilated]

I'll obviously be going. There's a few Spiral heads going, should be awesome.

[danzo_rezno]

:D

[Scarlet Siren]

There's a VIP ticket option. Was that there when the tickets when on sale?

I'll be flying over from Edinburgh, if anyone could suggest some cheap, nearby accommodation let me know. I'm not adverse to staying in hostels.... I can slum it! :p

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, don't bother with the VIP. It's a sectioned-off part that runs down the left of the stage area. If you want a "good" position then just stick to regular tickets.

[Scarlet Siren]

I can't thank you enough for the response. I have a GA ticket but have been looking for a VIP one for a few days. Would much rather experience the show head on. Cheers!

Yes! Coming home to this made up for a shitty day! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/04/esyre5et.jpg

I'll be flying over from Edinburgh, if anyone could suggest some cheap, nearby accommodation let me know. I'm not adverse to staying in hostels.... I can slum it! :p
If you're still looking for accommodation, I went for The Linen House hostel (http://www.belfasthostel.com/). It's about five streets away from Custom House Square.

[Casbah]

Just noticed this on Belsonic facebook:

"Dublin Rockers The Minutes (https://www.facebook.com/theminutes?directed_target_id=0) to open for Nine Inch Nails (https://www.facebook.com/ninofficial?directed_target_id=0) and And So I Watch You From Afar (https://www.facebook.com/andsoiwatchyoufromafar?directed_target_id=0) at Belsonic on Weds 21st Aug!
If you haven't got a ticket for this yet and want to go, we advise buying soon. Tickets available from belsonic.com, Ticketmaster and The Kitten Bar, Belfast (https://www.facebook.com/thekittenbar?directed_target_id=0)."

[slave2thewage]

It's confirmed on The Minutes' Facebook page. They sound... average. I'd only heard of them before because they were playing at the venue where I do my music course in December last year.

[Scarlet Siren]

If you're still looking for accommodation, I went for The Linen House hostel (http://www.belfasthostel.com/). It's about five streets away from Custom House Square.

Nice one! Thanks for this, I appreciate it!

[slave2thewage]

I meant to mention it when I booked it two weeks ago, but I forgot. My apologies. Belfast is a pretty expensive place when it comes to accommodation, for some reason.

[[parasite]]

i'm seriously thinking about this still, the missus has family in Belfast, so accommodation would be ok for me, and it's s quick flight from Luton London airport
it's just the chance of getting a few days off of work.... something to look into i think

[thelordoflard]

Still tickets available and me and Wifey shall be going! Wanted to bring the baby to his first NIN gig but was told no... sigh...

[Sutekh]

Reading/leeds day tickets are like 90 quid... Belsonic is 30-40. Still gloating to myself

[Scarlet Siren]

I meant to mention it when I booked it two weeks ago, but I forgot. My apologies. Belfast is a pretty expensive place when it comes to accommodation, for some reason.

I didn't even come back to say thank you for the recommendation, how rude of me! I booked in to that place you suggested, thank you very much!

I get in to Belfast at 8 am or something.... yuck! I don't like earlier mornings at all!

[Sutekh]

So did I & my friends, many thanks! Cheap as chips

[Mutilated]

Still tickets available and me and Wifey shall be going! Wanted to bring the baby to his first NIN gig but was told no... sigh...

Doink! Lets do this, man! Ain't no party like a NIN party!

[thelordoflard]

Ok so I have the Linen House booked also with my party of 3. We'll have to get a session going in the hostel :)

[Mutilated]

yeah sound, do you know John's friend Adam? He lives in Belfast and knows the story with the pubs n shit, so lets see what happens there too.

Any idea what time you'll be arriving at? I plan on leaving Dublin early, like 11 or 12 meeting up with John and Kev in Connolly and getting the choo choo NIN train to Belfast.

[Scarlet Siren]

I land at 8 am from Edinburgh, planning on reclaiming some sleep when I get there!

Can't deal with early mornings *yawn*

eek, that's a bit scary. Land, recharge batteries. Good plan!

[slave2thewage]

We get into Paris about the time the festival starts. That's gonna be fun.

[Mutilated]

that's cuttin it tight, no shenanigans now. Head down (excuse shite pun) straight to the show!

Dont know Adam. We will probably drive up early enough and will probably get there by 2 or 3 methinks depending. Takes about 4-5 hours from Limerick I think

[John31]

Hi All!
Good to be back to these forums, means NIN is back!
Will there be a meet up?
I'll be going to this one on my own.
Cheers!

[Mutilated]

Get into Belfast at about 15:45 - need to get to accommodation and get ready etc... then decide on a meeting pub (that is not insanely wedged).

Will post where we're going on this forum.

[John31]

Cool, who's all planning to join for the meetup?

[JamesCmuse]

So many things to plan :( Does anyone know what time Bus Eireann stops running buses after the gig?

[Scarlet Siren]

Cool, who's all planning to join for the meetup?

Count me in!

[chicken-royal]

Ticket arrived today, going to be a long week!

[slave2thewage]

Support update - The Minutes are out, first act is now Little Matador. Whoever they are.

[antpatty]

i am cutting it so fine i can get back to liverpool from London scala gig at 8 and my flight to Belfast is at 10 ahhhhh!

[chicken-royal]

Cool, who's all planning to join for the meetup?


Count me in!

Count me in too!

Going to this and Leeds by myself, and getting into Belfast around 10am, haha.

My party shall join ye of course.
If we have problems with meeting in a bar, we can use McHughs as a back up bar (right next to the concert) https://maps.google.ie/maps?q=mchugh's+belfast&hl=en&ll=54.600903,-5.923347&spn=0.004966,0.009645&sll=54.600881,-5.923227&layer=c&cid=12752458414591047486&cbp=12,142.74,,0,8.91&cbll=54.600977,-5.923381&hq=mchugh's+belfast&t=m&z=17&panoid=hcAFrjWrgWgEMvYjDXbEHw

Well, look at that... SO AM I! :o

[biblo]

Looks like there'll be a fair few people travelling. Verrrry good. I'll feel less like a filthy southerner!

[chicken-royal]

Well, look at that... SO AM I! :o

It was weird booking the tickets and travel arrangements knowing none of my mates are coming and I'll have a lot of time to kill.

Still, it'll be totally worth it to finally see NIN and hopefully meet up with some other fans, haha.

[Casbah]

Belsonic has started now - lots of bands I've never heard of. :D Drove past it yesterday. Can't wait til Weds, 4 more sleeps (2 for me cos I'm working night duty!!)

[NSFTM]

been a while since i been on here like... but NIN playing my home town , thought i'd see whats going on.
Mchughs bar used to have a.dodgy door policy, if you can be arsed with the walk, vodoo lounge and katy dalys are more 'alternative ' friendly.. or decent pints i'll probably be propping the bar in the garrick up

[thelordoflard]

or decent pints i'll probably be propping the bar in the garrick up
I vote for decent pints! Far from concert?

[Mutilated]

Just as an FYI - there's an afterpartay thing on in Hudson's, entry is £3 with a NIN ticket, £5 without.

So Hudsons is somewhere on the street where i put the black line..... spirk doink.

[Scarlet Siren]

That's a stone throw away from the hostel some of us are staying at. I'd be up for that but I have to be on my best behaviour, my flight out of Belfast is at 07:05.... (I feel sick just thinking about that)

[Mutilated]

This event is being organised by an industrial/goth dj so should be less of the metal/rock thingy...

(that's my preference, don't know about others?!?!?!)

[Casbah]

Belsonic facebook posted some other aftershow thing at the Limelight also. I'm just gonna follow my friends on the night! :)

[NSFTM]

The garricks about a 10 minute walk from customs house square, proper boozer , decent beer and food and a good bottle selection. its about a 5 minute walk to Katy Dalys and the limelight
http://www.thegarrickbar.com/

The Hudsons good as well, your a bit out of the town centre(belfast centre isn't that big) and if you don't know belfast that well , you could stray in the wrong direction and end up in a couple of bars/ areas that can be a bit unsavory

[godflesh]

Hey does anyone know what time the gates open at??
(sucky first post I know)

[thelordoflard]

I believe it is 6pm :)

Edit: Lol at Digital Twilight ;)

[Digital Twilight]

Hey does anyone know what time the gates open at??
(sucky first post I know)

6pm I believe

[Mutilated]

I asked for stage times but Belsonic folk won't release until the actual day. Which is 2 days away!!!!!! Fuck yesh!!!!!!!

[godflesh]

Ta very much everyone

[JamesCmuse]

Should be arriving in Belfast around 3. I'll most likely be wearing my PHM hoodie with some jeans, and I've a black scaffold in my ear. If any of you guys happen to see me, say hi! :D

[slave2thewage]

I'll be wearing an ETS shirt and some distinctly non-goth shirt over it.

[Scarlet Siren]

I think I might wear a green military jacket with AIR and NIN patches on it.

Haven't decided what I'm wearing underneath yet...

[godflesh]

I'll be easy to spot, over excited in a nomeansno t shirt running around in circles

[biblo]

All this pub talk...

Can anyone tell me what's a good place within a half-mile radius for 2 non-Belfast NIN fans to go afterwards and feel at home?

[Mutilated]

I thought we were discussing outfits here....what's your problem??

Hudsons. NIN afterparty.

Into it...

[danzo_rezno]

Sooo, shit, in the middle of trying to sort travel here, the Irish Rail after 8:30-17:00 are sold out, dunno how the fuck i'm getting there! AND I've the flu, some fucking birthday this is

[thelordoflard]

There's always the bus. Rough, but you'll get there

[Mutilated]

Yeah no disaster at all, get the Aircoach. Its comfortable.

[Mutilated]

^--- <PIG> t-shirt ;)

That's a fucking surprise!!!! haha

[d-signet]

is there a consensus on a meetup yet? before or after ? should be landing early afternoon :)

[Mutilated]

After is gonna be Hudsons, for sure.


Still need to sort out a pre-show meeting point. I'm clueless on Belfast (mostly).

[NSFTM]

I'll be adorned in my 1992 formerly black puff print Now I'm Nothing T shirt... one last run out before i retire it the old dear (i also don't think it would survive being exposed to sunlight too often.)
http://www.nsftm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1147083_10151545186502111_304552518_o.jpg

me and about 6 mates will be in the Garrick at about 5 ish, we're a hodge podge of people, all hurtling towards /arrived at middle age..

[chicken-royal]

I'll be up for anything before hand, maybe after too. Going to be getting into Belfast mid-morning, have to go to the hotel mid-afternoon to check in. Probably won't be out too late afterwards, flight back is just after 7am.

[NSFTM]

^ are you from newcastle? i'm flying from tha 'Toon' as well , what time is your flight?

i'll be in the airport about half five chucking a pint down my neck

[chicken-royal]

I am indeed! Flight out is 8:40 to the City airport.

[John31]

Soon now!
So who is going to organise the meetup and make the final decision?
I think going to the official pre party (Katy's bar) wouldn't be a bad choice.
or if that hudsons/Garrick place plays some rock...

[demoniccharge]

Gonna be good times tomorrow lads! Well excited, anyone getting the train up from the Republic??

[Scarlet Siren]

I am indeed! Flight out is 8:40 to the City airport.

Did I meet you in London tonight?!? :o

[danzo_rezno]

Dunno what top I should wear... Probably the NIN per 07' cause it has the logo front :) So yeah I should be getting a train in at around 8:30 arriving for 9:30, then I'm gonna let my hotel know I ain't gonna be checking in til after the show, walk to the show, and wait, fuck it, may as well try be one of the first haha also i'll have a beige NIN man bag/satchel lol and thick framed glasses, 24, say hey :)

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1005681_708689142490993_1073289295_n.jpg?

[Scarlet Siren]

See you all soon.... *yawn*

[chicken-royal]

Did I meet you in London tonight?!? :o

I'd love to say yes, but unfortunately not. :(

[Scarlet Siren]

I land at 9:45 :)

[Zannnou]

OK, my train will be in Belfast at 1:15pm. So I'll have some time to kill, so anyone interested to meet-up?
And is there any consensus of the pre-gig meet-up pub?
I'll probably won't be going anywhere after the gig, because I need leave at 6:50am back to work...
And I'll be wearing a plain forest green t-shirt and green army cap. So if you see me, feel free to harass...
Also I might add that I wear glasses and I'm a relatively short guy...

[chicken-royal]

Just got on the bus into the city centre, so in about 15 minutes I'm free to meet up with people. :) easy for suggestions as to where!

Seeing as we're doing descriptions; tall, long hair, black t-shirt with the FSAS logo made up of skulls etc. haha

[slave2thewage]

I am the queue. Le sigh.

[Scarlet Siren]

I am the queue. Le sigh.

What's the queue like just now? I'm running a little late.

[chicken-royal]

I am the queue. Le sigh.

Haha, I think I walked past you earlier! Where abouts were you? I'll grab a drink and come say hi.

[slave2thewage]

Haha, I think I walked past you earlier! Where abouts were you? I'll grab a drink and come say hi.

I'm at the gate by the clock tower. That's the one we have to use.

@Scarlet Spiral - still just me. People turn up, walk around and then leave.

[demoniccharge]

Might come up to you and say well to you in the queue ba! On le train now. Gonna be good times

[Tomp252]

Is this show being streamed? I looked around but could't find the answer

[John31]

Im not going in straight away. first some beers in a pub.
i'll make a move to that Katy's bar/limelight around 5pm.
if anyone wants to join me... I'm a 29yo guy with Dutch accent and completely in black (easily recognisable :)), semi long brown hair... Come say hi :)!
If I have the energy I'll probably go to Limelight or Hudson after the show.

[antpatty]

Is the stage even big enough for the their stage show?

[Scarlet Siren]

Would have expected to see more folk here by now...

[antpatty]

Ye there is no way we are getting the full works tonight on that stage

[John31]

it seems we will, those panels are on stage... but definitely a small stage though

[Scarlet Siren]

What If We Could is missing even though it was an impromptu performance :)

The Lines Begin to Blur definitely wasn't played.

The band were awesome. Trent said "It's good to finally get here. Thanks for showing up." during what WOULD have been the second "And doesn't it feel better" verse of MotP. Also, I finally managed to troll him. He was doing the Closer stare (the one after the first chorus) and he made eye contact with me (was on the barrier in front of him all night) and I started doing the exact same face back. He ducked to the side slightly and laughed and then composed himself in time for the second verse. #winning

The whole WIWC?/TWOIT thing was, according to Trent's speech, his "mistake". Something was up during Wish, he was dragging the mic stand around during Wish and kept fiddling at his in-ears.

And now, the bad: there were so many fucking dickheads in the crowd last night. I seriously thought we were getting an aborted Hurt last night. Also, the hippo that kept shouting shit at me during the show can fucking drown in her own blubber. Also, she interruped my twerking. Harlot.

Nice to meet ETS people and have an ETS-centric part of the barrier, too.

All in all, I don't think I'd go to a show in Belfast again. Although the band were pretty tingly in all the good places.

[demoniccharge]

That was some concert lads. Good to meet a few ETS heads at it too outside the queue and leaving at the end incl. Slave2thewage, I was the drunk Southerner with long hair and glasses :P

[slave2thewage]

Hey hey. BTW I'll edit that post later to make it more legible , this computer at the airport is shite.

[demoniccharge]

It was a seriously long gig, felt to me like they played for nearly two hours! Ah man, the airport computers are dogshit. There was a lot of screaming going on during Hurt but I was just to the left of Trent and he looked fairly happy while he was playing it to me with everyone clapping and singing along for the most part... maybe I was just wasted though...

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, he didn't seem to mind in the end, since he probably anticipated it. It's still sad that he didn't come down to the barrier for Piggy though.

[Scarlet Siren]

That show slayed me, I'm exhausted! I slept in and missed my flight to Leeds haha!

I can't articulate how my thoughts on the show just now, I need to get my Head Down* for some sleep

(*im still running with this Slave, lol)

It was bloody awesome to meet some ETSers, thanks for being brilliant company throughout the day, hope to do it again!

Right, I'm off to boards flight, ciao!

[demoniccharge]

Yeah, I was half expecting him to come to the barrier too. Too bad he didn't what with being up the front and all but I thought it was a great gig all the same, wasn't expecting to get the lights either which were fairly luxury!

[Scarlet Siren]

Yeah, he didn't seem to mind in the end, since he probably anticipated it. It's still sad that he didn't come down to the barrier for Piggy though.

I don't think I could have handled my self very well if that happened for a second consecutive time... I'm still getting over it. Eye contact will do for now :p

[godflesh]

Great night! Belfast seems like such a nice city.
The venue was unusual it was strange to see people in their apartments right beside the crowd watching the gig!
Started the evening with some great friends and strangers we met on the train up but as the night went on people got drunker and drunker and a group in front of me talked all the way through Find my way.
I think I done with seeing NIN at a festival environment too many wobbly dicks, groping and terrible dancing girls

[slave2thewage]

There were a load of drunk ones that got second/third row from shoving through the crowd when NIN started. The shoving to get my place was fun. Bitch, I've been here from 6am and I'm not moving.

[Scramasax]

It was a spectacular show from NIN last night. I loved that new version of Sanctified but I was a bit worried that the whole show was going to end up like that, very synthy. But it turned pretty heavy shortly after so I was loving it all. I really was not expecting anything from 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' and even with the mess up it was a haunting and captivating performance. Was it definitely Help Me I Am In Hell that was played? I couldn't make out if it was that or a track from Ghosts.

Was so excited to hear 'Me, I'm Not' as being to 3 NIN shows now that is the first Year Zero track I've heard aside from Survivalism. That album seriously needs more live attention.

I was a little underwhelmed by yet another Hand That Feeds-Head Like A Hole-Hurt ending set since I've heard it every time I've seen them and aside from some shows on the 'Wave Good-bye tour' that's been the closing section since 2005. It didn't help that some cunt screamed out the words in some strangled cat voice which made a load of dickheads start some fucking stupid cheering. Zero-Sum would a fantastic closer, somber enough to play in place of Hurt but loud enough to keep the energy levels high and drown out the pricks.

The light show was brilliant, I've missed it on the other shows I've been to. That distorted projection during Closer really adds an extra uncomfortable element to the performance.

[slave2thewage]

Oh yeah, supports. Little Matador were average and I loved ASIWYFA.

[Batolle]

Nice review Slave2thewage you wrote Today, 06:40 AM. Wish everyone was doing it like this.

[d-signet]

Sorry I couldn't post at all yesterday from the gig (or beforehand)

I seems that this board is not windows-phone friendly :(

Anyway, I'm uploading some video clips to youtube. will post as they are processed if anyone wants them.

Only short clips i'm afraid ( 10 - 30 seconds each, no full songs) , because i was in front of a lot of people and didn't want to obscure their view or enjoyment any more than necessary. They're enough to get a feel of the gig anyway, and they're all in 1080p

Here's a tester anyway - support act


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gnrermPWIY&amp;feature=youtu.be

[chicken-royal]

Dude, it was you I talked to after the gig near the back of the main standing area, right? (I was the long haired Geordie, haha)

[Sutekh]

Good show... I had the filth pig top on, hello to anyone i met at hudsons (dj played attack ships on fire for us! Hooray) or linen hostel- that igor guy wss about ready to kill us!

[demoniccharge]

Dude, it was you I talked to after the gig near the back of the main standing area, right? (I was the long haired Geordie, haha)

That'd be me dude. It was an excellent gig wasn't it? I'm pretty sure I was still fairly wasted even then. ASIWYFA were and epic support act to weren't they? That was my fourth time seeing them. Class act.

[Sutekh]

Yep that band were great. Really liked the venue as well. Were some oddballs in the crowd, always the way though

[chicken-royal]

That'd be me dude. It was an excellent gig wasn't it? I'm pretty sure I was still fairly wasted even then. ASIWYFA were and epic support act to weren't they? That was my fourth time seeing them. Class act.

It was, aye! ASIWYFA really impressed me, had heard good things about them.

[danzo_rezno]

FINALLY home, great show, met some friendlys at the front, gave them my flag to drape over the front, i'm behind in glasses lol

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1149271_625101497512029_1270920011_o.jpg?

...of course they had it upside down :/ I mean some Niall and Barry guys on the bus from Dublin airport to Belfast, but sadly lost them
ended up alone at the show but befriended these guys, lovely bunch, great so, so quashed and crushed and sweaty, but loved every raging second of it,
Trent seemed in seriously good spirits, partially because it was so long since he's been in Belfast, i think? Either way he seemed like he wanted
to put on a good show regardless of weather, venue, size, Hurt dick heads, they fucking rocked, and the set list was the ideal one i was hoping for,
and he was a good laugh when he fucked up, started playing TWOIT before What If We Could, I had a great time just wish I wasn't sick and had more money to be more fun,
here's copy of a

Absolutely loved the gig. First time seeing them and it was without a doubt the best gig I've ever been to. The visuals were fucking insane. Delighted we got The Wretched, Sanctified and WIFC?.

Was talking to a few people from here beforehand as well. Met Slave2thewage anyway; I was one of the guys who showed up around 2:30pm with the Origin of Symmetry shirt.

I loved it too. I chose this gig over Leeds festival, despite living only 15 miles from the Leeds Festival site. The whole trip (ticket, hotel, transport) cost me less than a day ticket for Leeds. Go figure!

The tall guy with the bandanna long hair and leather coat and the small lady in front of him is my boyfriend and me :rolleyes: I have waited so long to see NIN play and to see them in my home town made the experience all the better. The only problem I had at the concert was the lady you can see with the short red hair and tattoos directly in front of my boyfriend and me. Her and her friends we so rude and inconsiderate of people around them and her tall long haired friend stood right in front of me after making her way up from the back some where using the immortal line "I'm with her that's my friend, I'm just trying to get to my friend." Fuck and that is what I say, the rest of the people around us were awesome and I would like to give a shout out to the two lovely ladies to the very top left of the picture who made room for me so I could again see the stage, thanks ladies you are too kind;) Sorry for the rant.
Getting to hear Burn and Wish live was beyond anything I could have wished for and my personal favourite Only was the icing on the cake. We got to meet some awesome NIN fans in the hotel we stayed in particularly the mad Liverpudlians Michelle and Nick, all in all considering the size of the stage the visuals were amazing particularly during Closer. I have some videos and will throw them up once I get a chance.
