Rascal Flatts.
Olympia Theatre, Dublin. July 2013.
Rascal Flatts (2013).
Very much an Anita-driven gig, but I was converted. Turns out I'm a little bit country after all.
Rascal Flatts are absolutely massive in the States and barely known here, which is exactly why getting them in the Olympia was such a treat.
The Live & Loud tour, touring Changed, and their first proper run on this side of the Atlantic. Country music in a Victorian theatre on Dame Street, and it worked.
The setlist.
Dublin's setlist isn't on record, so the playlist is the London set from three nights earlier on the same tour. Listen: Apple Music · Spotify
