Welsh indie greats Super Furry Animals are back in action, having played their first show in nearly a decade on Wednesday at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre. With no new album to promote, the setlist was full of classics: they opened with “Mobile Phone” and “Rings Around the World” and went on to play “Golden Retriever,” “Ice Hockey Hair,” “Hello Sunshine,” “Something 4 the Weekend,” “Juxtaposed With U,” “Ymaelodi âr Ymylon,” “Fire in My Heart,” and more.
Their main set closed with “Mountain People” from 1997’s Radiator, which continued into the theatrical encore. Gruff Rhys had his giant lizard helmet for “Night Vision,” which then lead to SFA’s never-not-topical forever-show-ender, “The Man Don’t Give a Fuck.” It was a 10-minute version, and halfway through the band briefly left the stage only to return in their signature yeti costumes.
Check out a few photos by Chris Taylor, plus fan-shot video and the setlist, below.
Super Furry Animals’ reunion tour runs through the summer with a mix of festival appearances and headline shows across Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and England. All dates are listed below.
