Ticket Giveaway: Explosions in the Sky

Explosions in the Sky

Texan post-rockers Explosions in the Sky started their five month long run of gigs around the world this week and the third stop is in Dublin this Saturday (26th January) with support from Eluvium. The show was moved from The Village to Tripod and is now SOLD OUT. It promises to be the last time you’ll catch the band in Ireland for a long time as “after June 2008, we plan on dropping off the face of the earth for awhile” (quote from their website).

The band are also curating ATP in the UK from 16th May to 18th May with the stellar line-up including Broken Social Scene, Iron and Wine, Battles, Dinosaur Jr., Animal Collective, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Four Tet, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead, Ghostface Killah, Silver Jews, Liars, The National, Sunset Rubdown, Stars of the Lid, De la Soul and Saul Williams.

To celebrate our official website launch (Plug: Our first issue in print out March 6th), State Magazine with thanks to Forever Presents has a pair of tickets to giveaway to the show.

All you have to do is leave us a comment below introducing yourself.

We will contact the winner by 4pm on Friday (25th January). Here are a couple of MP3s to sate your appetite.

Explosions in the Sky – Welcome Ghosts from All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone (2007)

Explosions in the Sky – Look into the Air from How Strange, Innocence (2000)

You can also download a free EP The Rescue from the band’s official website.

  • Johnson Reynolds

    There’s a small orphan child whose parents were killed horribly in a bizarre accident involving trees…. yeah, that’s it – a tree fell on them. “If only,” he thought, “If only I could get tickets for Explosions in the Sky, then my miserable life would be made just that little bit brighter.”

    If only…..

  • Will

    Great site. Really great. Reminds me of magazines about music and what not. They use to print them on ‘paper’. they’d pile up over the years and get dusty and damp. Not anymore.

  • Paul Fullard

    Desperate to see them, Heath Ledger visited me in a dream and said i needed these tickets, he said if i don’t win Katie French will be back tonight to read the Sunday Independant to me, i just dont think i can deal with that.

  • Conor

    shit, i’ve been wandering about in the wilderness all night and now i’ve a bitch of a headache. i’m pretty sure that tickets like this belong to me anyway so why bother with forcing us to jump through hoops like little circus freaks. looking forward to getting what i so so deserve. cheers buddy boy!

    I want to win these tickets, so I don’t have to spend another Saturday night standing in the smoking of whelans area watching ageing, bloated 30something dudes with Brain Jones haircuts hitting on 17 year old indie girls. I also like explosions in the sky.

  • seamie gallagher

  • Ciaran

    I was told the secret to eternal happiness is to go this gig. Sounds a heap of crap to me but I’m not prepared to take the chance. I demand free tickets.

  • http://www.state.ie Niall
