She should be doing both Oh No AND Blue. Making the audience choose between them while she's playing this limp turd of an album. Muffy sis the cruelty.

Anyone know rough stage times for Allie X and Marina?
It's been 9 years since I saw Marina live so I'm super excited to see her in Brighton.

My fave moment from the Dublin gig this evening (and I'm paraphrasing) is "We love it when you sing along Dublin!...... to the backing vocals". I was officially gagged - it was very Lisa Scott Lee but very Marina.
Do the Singer/Dancers have their mics turned on ? You can barely hear them if they do.
This show would really go off (further) if there was a live band present. A single musician alternating between drums and plinky plonky is an odd move.
I do adore this show in all its high school glory though. She and her team have done amazing things with the budget restraints.
No More Suckers was everything. I'm very lucky I got to see the first leg at the RAH and this much more intimate affair. And, at least the screens made it to Ireland this time!

8pm Allie X and 9pm Marina.
Saw her last night in Dublin and it was fantastic. Perhaps you guys had set my expectations quite low but bloody hell she blew it out of the park last night

All of this. She did a brilliant job and put on a great show which really enjoyable from start to finish. She could have used different visuals for some of the songs (the Shutterstock footage jumped out), and just two dancers with a live band would have worked so much better. The dancers' timing with the neon lights routine was quite off which was kind of distracting.
End of the Earth with the strobe lights was a moment, and all of the Family Jewels and Electra Heart songs were major highlights. I screamed when she made everyone sing 'oOoOoOrange' and the group sitting beside me sounded like dying cats dd.
My reaction in the tiered seats when I was only one in five people who screamed for Blue to be performed by making us choose between that and the mega bop that is Oh No!

Why did I laugh so hard at this?

I hate and love this in equal measure.
Not a fan of the recent album and the tour looks a little cheap but I'd go see her next week. Is she good?
She 'conferred' with her sound guy - pretty sure they did check which made a bigger impression on her mic.
Around where I was the cheers were bigger for Oh No! - and I'm glad having seen Blue on the last leg.
I thought the show was much better than the first leg. The dancers were still very unnecessary but it was significantly less cheap & cringeworthy. I even walked away with a bit of an appreciation for End of The Earth.
It's still an enjoyable performance even if you don't rate the new album very highly.
Not sure if I can do this with the forum rules but...
I have 2 standing tickets for her concert at Eventim Apollo this Monday (I cannot attend anymore unfortunately). DM me if you are interested!

So girls, I've just discovered that Merna is having a gig in Paris this Friday and as my sister is visiting I'm considering going. 50 euros tho is lowkey theft considering the reviews I've seen here so my question is: is there a possibility that the tickets are gonna drop in price something like the day before the gig? Money is a dangerous thing for a gurl like me to have etc etc
she/her
I have no idea about a possible price drop. Is it actually a thing overseas? There is a "send your name + first name" contest on this website though. Perhaps you'll be lucky!
No idea tbh, but I don't really think she can fill the Zenith.

Price drops on the day only happen if it's selling really poorly or they're using dynamic pricing on the tour (they aren't here). At least those are the two examples I've encountered, I mean, we've had some PopJustice faves at work who have had some extremely poor sales to the point that they had to start giving away free meet and greet tickets, which were originally on sale for £120.
