I've been a Sugababes fan since I first heard Overload way back in 2000. It was, and still is, a pop classic. Over the years, I managed to catch them live a couple of times. The first time I caught Sugababes live was way back at Creamfields 2002. Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup. Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party! As a side note, post Sugababes, Siobhan went on to release two solo albums, Revolution in Me in 2003 and Ghosts in 2007. The next time I saw them was at Oxegen 2008, and by then Mutya had left the band and was replaced by Amelle, leaving Keisha as the only remaining original member.

I've seen The Pretty Reckless a few times, first back in 2011 at Oxegen Festival. Fast forward to 2016 and I saw them again in the House of Blues, Las Vegas. Fast forward 6 years and I'm getting to see them again, this time in the Olympia Theatre, Dublin.
How good was it? Well, it was awesome. They played to a sell-out theatre, and I'd say they could have played another night also, such was the demand for tickets!
The setlist on the night was:
- Death by Rock and Roll
- Since You're Gone
- Only Love Can Save Me Now
- Follow Me Down
- Make Me Wanna Die
- Miss Nothing
- Sweet Things
- Witches Burn
- My Medicine
- My Bones
- Going to Hell
- Heaven Knows
- Take Me Down
- Fucked Up World
I didn't have a media pass, so I couldn't bring the big lens, so all shots are from the audience using a small Sony DSC HX60. It was strange just being a punter for the first time in ages, but it was enjoyable!
Anyway, now for those photos:
