Super Furry Animals played their first show in nearly a decade (pics, video, setlist)

"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 â’r 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."

"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."

Super Furry Animals played their first show in nearly a decade at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre. The setlist featured well-known songs rather than new material, starting with “Mobile Phone” and “Rings Around the World” and continuing through tracks including “Golden Retriever,” “Ice Hockey Hair,” “Hello Sunshine,” “Something 4 the Weekend,” and “Juxtaposed With U.” The main set ended with “Mountain People” from 1997’s Radiator and carried into a theatrical encore. Gruff Rhys wore a giant lizard helmet for “Night Vision,” followed by “The Man Don’t Give a Fuck” in a roughly ten-minute version. The band briefly left the stage mid-song and returned in yeti costumes. A reunion tour runs through summer with festival and headline dates across Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and England.
