Duff McKagan kicked off his Lighthouse 24 tour at The Academy Dublin, not only the first night of the tour but the first time every playing with this band lineup. Duff him self was heard saying the he was nervous because of this, but he had no reason to be as the band played a blinder of a set containing twenty two songs.
And of-course the night was a sellout, sure it was always going to be at this 850 capacity venue, its Duff McKagan after all and the crowd was a wash with G&R t-shirts.
Openers on the night were rock band from Cardiff, James and the Cold Gun.
