Shows I've either patched the desk for, queued up tickets for, or will be elbowing my way to the barrier for anyway. Stoneybatter to soundcheck and back, one flight case at a time. Updated as the diary fills up — right now the 3Arena run of big arena nights into December has the whole crew knackered before we've even started.

Gigs worth the load-in — 4 items
Name	Artist	Venue	Address	City	Genre	My take
1Korn	Korn	3Arena	North Wall Quay, North Dock	Dublin	Nu metal	Desk work for this lot is a workout. Bass bins'll be doing laps of the quays.
2Papa Roach	Papa Roach	3Arena	North Wall Quay, North Dock	Dublin	Rock	Back to back with Korn, poor roadies. My shoulders ache just thinking about the get-in.
3Niall Horan	Niall Horan	3Arena	North Wall Quay, North Dock	Dublin	Pop	Four nights, same stage plot. Grand for us, murder on the flight cases.
4Jungle	Jungle	3Arena	North Wall Quay, North Dock	Dublin	Funk/soul	Groove-heavy and tight as a drum. One for the headphones crowd, not the pint-throwers.
