Chic Announced for the RDS

After selling out a great show in Dublin only several months ago in Malahide Castle, Chic have now announced that they are playing a winter show in the RDS on December 1st. This is great sign as they actually have played here a lot when compared with some other countries. In fact as a whole for a small country Ireland does really well to get big acts to come here. On Daft Punks small tour of only 10 shows 10 years ago they played in Ireland twice. Once they played at Oxegen festival and then the following year a Marley Park.

Tickets are going for just €59.50 and of course it will indoors in the RDS. We say this as sometimes they have out door gigs there in the summer but on the 1st December that would be too much of a risk and would possibly put a lot of people off going to the gig. It is a relatively expensive ticket price but considering the name that Chic has it should be a sell out but it is a tough time of year to sell tickets as people try to get money together to buy gifts.

We are also delighted to announce here at getitcovered.ie that we have teamed up with Glory Smile teeth whitening who offer a range of teeth whitening kit products. Based in Dublin they are our new sponsors. You can use coupon code GET10 to get 10% off on your first order.

The teeth whitening strips they offer are made of natural ingredients so they are safe to use for even more sensitive of teeth.

Glorysmile also offer a range of natural teeth whitening tooth paste, teeth whitening strips, charcoal powder and other teeth whitening products.

Metropolis Festival Is Coming Up – Get Their Android…

As the year continues to fly by the main festival season is behind us. Luckily however a few good people over at metropolis festival have realized that just because the summer is over doesn’t mean people don’t want to have fun and that is why they started metropolis festival 3 years ago. Metropolis Festival is on in the RDS every Autumn around Halloween time and this year it is on, on the 26th of October with tickets costing just €49.50 for a day ticket which is very reasonable. It is of course a weekend festival but obviously it is not camping as it is far too cold for that! But it does mean that you get to sleep in a nice warm bed as opposed to the summer festivals where you are stuck in your tent for the weekend!

The line up is not as good as other years with the villagers headlining it as well as a few other old goodies but when compared with last year when Paul Kalk and Crystal Castles played it is nowhere near as good this year.We of course here are festival mad so will be going along for fun of it and as it is quite affordable there is not reason not to really.

Tickets are available on their website and as it is the last major festival of the year we highly recommend it. You can also download their official app for the line up. We managed to download it on the best android TV box we got our and had it projected on the wall so we told them about this and they may do something similar at the entrance this year apparently.

You can now charge your Phone at Electric Picnic…

Electric picnic 2018 is just around the corner and you will now be able to charge your Phone at the festival using the festival charging stations. This has been rumored over the last few years but it is now official. Running out of battery after the first night is what usually happens to festival goers at Electric picnic and other festivals throughout the year and it can be a real pain. Electric picnic say that they have sold 50,000 tickets this year for the festival so the chances of you losing a friend are pretty high and having a dead phone can be a disaster which can seriously impact your weekend if you end up losing all of your friends. There will also be a stall with phonesforsale.ie at the festival which might seem odd but you would be surprised how many people lose their phones at festivals.

You can see the official list of facilities at the electric picnic official website here https://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/arena. They have also teamed up with three mobile to provide portable WIFI points at the festival which can be handy. Going to a festival is no longer what it used to be as with all the facilities you have everything you would have at home now…except a warm bed. The iPhone charging stations will be run by Phoneit who will have a stall in the main campsite for people to charge their phones at.
