Encores are part of a gig. They are expected but I agree with what youâre saying - I would rather if they were more spontaneous.
I was at a Whipping Boy gig years back and they played their âlastâ song but they hadnât played We Donât Need Nobody Else 
What Iâd love in that situation is if they played it again to close the set, that wouldnât bother me at all with a band like Whipping Boy who can only realistically whip a large crowd into an absolute frenzy a couple of times.
For somebody like Damon Albarn how cool would it be for him to finish with Song 2 or For tomorrow
Kenny Rogers played The Gambler about four times in his Glastonbury set a few years ago.
Legend.
Not playing encores is a bit affected. It insists on itself too much. I think Fontaines DC donât do encores but weâll allow that. For now.
Costume changes are only allowed if youâre the Stones.
Or Taylor Swift (costume changes)
I saw Fontaineâs play Dolans a few years ago and they played an encore (Iâm almost certain)
Itâs all a silly charade, play an encore if the crowd deserves it
Mastodon generally play a two hour set. They donât do encores or shit talk with the audience. They just play their music and get off the stage. Itâs brilliant.
Proper order.
At least they have the back cat to do two hours. A lot of newer bands outstay their welcome. If youâve only got 1-2 albums, 60-75 mins is enough, 90 at a max. Iâm grand with or without encores.
Ticket got for Einsturzende Neubaten in the concert hall. Might be interesting.
I saw Declan OâRourke last night, really good gig, thereâs some great songs on his new album
Saw him last week in vicar st really enjoyed it. Only got into him with that new album.
The Lost Messiahs, fronted by the legendary Ollie Plunkett, you may have heard of his brother, Seamas 
That looks good
Snobs wonât like it
This looks class.
Are you going pal?
Nature walks, craft beer and a whiskey corner.
Some excellent bands on the non-main stage there like Whiskey Corner and The Wild Turkey.
