Everything you need to know about the band’s dublin concert on friday, july 21st.

Bell X1 have been knocking around for a quarter of a century now and, 23 years after releasing their debut album, they are set for the stage in Dublin again with new music on hand.

The band – Paul Noonan, David Geraghty and Dominic Phillips – released Merciful Hour earlier this year , their first record in more than six years. After spending time in the studio, the lads will be showing off their new songs at the Iveagh Gardens along with old but gold hits like The Great Defector and Rocky Took A Lover. So, what else can we expect for Friday’s gig?

When do they play?

The concert is at the Iveagh Gardens, off Dublin’s Harcourt Street, on Friday, July 21st.

What time should I arrive?

Entry to the event will be via the Clonmel Street gate, which will open at 6.30pm. Early queuing is not permitted and concertgoers have been asked to respect the property and privacy of residents in the area.

Who is the support act?

Bell X1 will be supported by Talos, aka Cork musician and songwriter Eoin French. An architect by trade, French has supported the likes of Dermot Kennedy and Bon Iver. His third and latest album, Dear Chaos, which was released in 2022, was reviewed by The Irish Times as having touches that “subliminally remind the listener of Sigur Ros, the Blue Nile, Radiohead”.

Stage times

Talso will warm up the crowd from 7.45pm before Bell X1 take to the stage at 8.45pm. However, times are subject to change so make sure to keep an eye on the promoters website for any updates.

How do I get there – and home again?

There is no car parking available at the event, however, there are car parks around the city centre. The closest is Q-Park at Stephens Green Shopping Centre. Pre-booking is available at q-park.ie .

Luas, bus and rail transport options can all bring you within a short walk of the venue. Plan your journey online from anywhere in Ireland via the journey planner found at transportforireland.ie .

What will they play?

With eight albums, Bell X1’s catalogue provides a wide range of options for their live shows. Like their setlist from a recent gig in Limerick, we can expect to hear tracks from their new album and some of their popular hits:

• Still Singing
• Snakes And Snakes
• Bad Skin Day
• Next to You
• Something Electric
• Alphabet Soup
• The Upswing
• Bridge And Tunnel
• The End Is Nigh
• Rocky Took A Lover
• Eve, The Apple Of My Eye
• The Lobster
• The Great Defector
• Light My Way

Are there any tickets left?

Unfortunately the Iveagh Gardens gig is sold out. However, with appearances scheduled for Forest Fest, Co Laois, and Galway International Arts Festival in July, and Revival Music Festival in August, you might get to catch them somewhere else. Always remember to buy tickets from accredited sources only.

🎊 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬 🎊 @BellX1 are certainly not to be underestimated, even 25 years in the trio are making music with more depth and intrigue than ever before 🤩 Who is ready to sing along with Bell X1 this Friday? ✋✋✋ pic.twitter.com/7jxB5hPpjA — Live @ The Iveagh Gardens (@liveattheiveagh) July 17, 2023

What’s the story with security?

All under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Only bags under A4 size will be permitted in to the venue and bags will be subject to a search.

Items not permitted include: Any article that may be used as a weapon, bottles, cans, flasks, frisbees, illegal substances, scooters, skateboards, flag poles, selfie sticks, flares, laser devices, prams/push chairs, inflatable and folding chairs, large suitcases/rucksacks, laptops, illegal merchandise items, umbrellas, hampers, cold boxes, air horns, alcohol, drinks, food and animals (except service dogs and guide dogs).

There will be food and drink available to purchase on site but fans should note it is a cashless venue and there is no ATM on site, so make sure to bring card payment or keep your phone charged for electronic cards.

Any person deemed to be offensive or abusive, or who may compromise public safety, will not be admitted and may be reported to gardaí. There will be a first aid post at the venue staffed by trained medics.

Can I take photographs at the concert?

Yes, but not with a professional camera including those with a detachable lens.

What’s the weather forecast?

Met Éireann is forecasting mainly dry weather with some bright spells and a few showers. Highest temperatures are expected to be between 15-18 degrees. Sunshine or rain, we’re sure the crowd will be Still Singing on Friday night.

Singles & EPs

Live albums, about bell x1.

In the grand tradition of Irish bands named after famous American planes, Bell X1 achieved massive success in their home country and penetrated markets beyond via consistent licensing on American television shows and an early partnership with Universal. Its core members -- Paul Noonan (vocals, guitar, drums), Dominic Phillips (bass), and David Geraghty (guitar, keyboards) -- arose in the '90s as Juniper, an indie rock band also featuring Damien Rice. Hitting the ground running after their split with Rice, Bell X1 combined U2's arena-ready throb, Coldplay's reflective hooks, electronic textures, and folk-rock with varying emphasis over several critically lauded and Irish number one albums. ~ Patrick Sullivan

The 75th Anniversary of the Bell X-1 Supersonic Flight

This Friday, October 14 th , 2022, marks the 75 th anniversary of the Bell X-1 heralding in the new era of supersonic flight.  In 1947, Chuck Yeager piloted the Western New York built X-1 (the first in a long and ongoing line of U.S. X-Planes) to Mach 1.04, or 1.04 times the speed of sound, high over the California desert at what is now Edwards Air Force Base. 

Due to the uncertainty and multitude of unknown variables involved in breaking the sound barrier, the fuselage of the rocket-powered X-1 was shaped like a .50 caliber bullet, something with known characteristics at high speeds. The aircraft was also designed to withstand 18 Gs, or 18 times the force of gravity, an unheard-of figure to ensure it could withstand the forces encountered. 

The Niagara Frontier Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will commemorate this anniversary at a private event hosted at Calspan’s Flight Research Facility, located at the Niagara Falls International Airport. 

The keynote address will be from Dr. Richard Hallion, past chief historian of the United States Air Force and one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Bell X-1. The immediate past NASA Chief Historian, Dr. Bill Barry, will introduce Dr. Hallion.

The event will include a tour of the loading pit at the former Bell Aerospace plant where the X-1 was loaded on its B-29 carrier aircraft and a look at Calspan’s stunning, full-size X-1 replica.

Private tours will begin at 5:00 PM, with dinner to follow at 6:45 PM and the program at 8:00 PM.

2024 Wells Fargo Championship Thursday tee times: Round 1 groupings

Rory McIrloy is looking for his first solo PGA Tour win of the year at the Wells Fargo.

Chris Graythen/Getty Images

The 2024 Wells Fargo Championship begins Thursday, May 9, with the opening round at Quail Hollow. You can find full Wells Fargo Championship tee times for the first round at the bottom of this post.

Featured tee time for Round 1

The last time Rory McIlroy teed it up, he won a PGA Tour event. But that was the Zurich Classic of New Orleans , the team event that goes down every spring in Louisiana. McIlroy teamed up with Shane Lowry to take home the title.

But other than that, McIlroy hasn’t been in a PGA Tour winner’s circle yet in 2024. He’s hoping to change that at this week’s Signature Event in North Carolina, which is also the final tune-up before next week’s PGA Championship.

For Thursday’s opening round, McIlroy will tee off at 12:39 p.m. ET alongside Tom Kim and Max Homa .

You can watch Thursday’s first round of the Wells Fargo Championship on ESPN+ with exclusive early action and featured group coverage all day, and on Golf Channel starting at 2 p.m. ET. Peacock will offer a simulcast of Golf Channel’s coverage.

You can check out the complete Round 1 tee times for the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship below.

2024 Wells Fargo Championship tee times for Thursday: Round 1 (ET)

11:00 a.m. – Peter Malnati, Matthieu Pavon, Gary Woodland 11:11 a.m. – Sungjae Im, Brendon Todd, Denny McCarthy 11:22 a.m. – Tom Hoge, Andrew Putnam, Adam Schenk 11:33 a.m. – Sepp Straka, Mackenzie Hughes, Eric Cole 11:44 a.m. – Si Woo Kim, Seamus Power, Patrick Rodgers 11:55 a.m. – Lee Hodges, Russell Henley, Byeong Hun An 12:06 p.m. – Jake Knapp, Will Zalatoris, Alex Noren 12:17 p.m. – Emiliano Grillo, Sam Burns, Harris English 12:28 p.m. – Hideki Matsuyama, Sahith Theegala, Viktor Hovland 12:39 p.m. – Rory McIlroy, Tom Kim, Max Homa 12:50 p.m. – Matt Fitzpatrick, Corey Conners, Adam Svensson 1:01 p.m. – Billy Horschel, Nick Dunlap, Kevin Tway

9 questions and answers on the Rory McIlroy, PGA Tour board drama

G o ahead and slap a zero on the “It’s been X days since golf had unnecessary drama” board. Rory McIlroy’s intention to rejoin the PGA Tour Policy Board has been thwarted, as McIlroy remarked Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that a “subset” of players blocked his return. You have questions and we have … well, we don’t have answers, because the incontrovertible takeaway from the past two years in professional golf is that no one knows anything, at least for certain. But we do have some idea of the behind-the-scenes intrigue regarding power control and the trajectory of the tour’s future, so we’ll do our best to explain what the heck is going on.

OK, what is going on? In late April, the Guardian reported McIlory was returning to the PGA Tour Policy Board, taking the place of Webb Simpson, who wanted to surrender his position and give it to McIlroy. McIlroy was previously on the board but resigned his post last November. McIlroy confirmed the report the following day at the Zurich Classic. “I don’t think there’s been much progress made in the last eight months, and I was hopeful that there would be,” McIlroy said. “I think I could be helpful to the process. But only if people want me involved.” Only if people want me involved proved to be operative words. For the past two weeks there have been rumblings that the planned move had an icy reception from other board members, which McIlroy confirmed Wednesday morning at Quail Hollow.

“There's been a lot of conversations. Sort of reminded me partly why I didn't [originally want to stay on the board]," McIlroy said, referencing his departure. "I think it got pretty complicated and pretty messy, and I think with the way it happened, I think it opened up some old wounds and scar tissue from things that have happened before … there was a subset of people on the board that were maybe uncomfortable with me coming back on for some reason. … I think Webb just stays on and sees out his term, and I think he's gotten to a place where he's comfortable with doing that and I just sort of keep doing what I'm doing."

So, for the moment, McIlroy remains out and Simpson is still in.

Why did Rory McIlroy resign in the first place?

McIlroy served as the de facto face of the PGA Tour in its battle with LIV Golf, standing up for his tour in the absence of leadership and doing so because he believed it was the right thing to do. Along with Tiger Woods, he spearheaded a player-led initiative in the summer of 2022 that restructured the tour schedule and seemed to prevent further player exodus. McIlroy admitted that putting himself out there in the game’s civil war took an emotional and physical toll, which McIroy said he was still reckoning with.

So when the tour announced last June a surprising partnership with the LIV Golf’s backer, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund—a negotiation that McIlroy was not a part of—McIlroy conceded a sense of betrayal. “It's hard for me to not sit up here and feel somewhat like a sacrificial lamb and feeling like I've put myself out there and this is what happens,” McIlroy said at the RBC Canadian Open a day after the framework agreement announcement. Nevertheless, McIlroy continued in his position on the tour’s policy board throughout the summer. When he ultimately resigned in late November 2023, he cited personal and professional commitments, but also nodded to the direction a potentially unified professional game could be going, that a deal private-equity deal was on the horizon (which came to fruition two months later, with the tour choosing the Fenway-led Strategic Sports Group) and felt his job was done. The remaining board directors elected Jordan Spieth to take McIlroy’s place. What spurred McIlroy’s reversal?

According to NBC Sports analyst Brad Faxon (who also serves as McIlroy’s putting coach from time to time), McIlroy regretted his decision “almost immediately.” Also, as McIlroy alluded to in his Zurich comments, talks between the PGA Tour and PIF had stalled. While McIlroy has not moved from his anti-LIV Golf stance, the Ulsterman has conceded that golf’s schism is unsustainable and PIF’s participation in professional golf is inevitable. For McIlroy, the most palliative of avenues forward is one where PIF’s investment is diverted to the tour, which would likely welcome reunification of a fractured sport. McIlroy presumably believed his return to the board helps bridge the current gap.

Why does Webb Simpson want off?

Depends on whom you ask. Simpson, for his part, wants to spend more time focusing on golf and his family. It should also be noted that he is considered one of the more respected and well-liked players on tour, but has come under criticism for his use of four sponsor's exemptions into limited-field signature events. There is also a belief among players, fair or not, that PGA Tour and SSG leadership wants McIlroy on the board to help advocate for unification. Given his credentials, McIlroy is seen as a stronger proponent than Simpson for this task.

Is Simpson allowed to just hand off an elected spot?

Technically, no; it’s an elected position. But when McIlroy resigned it was just the five other player directors who elected Spieth, not the entire tour membership. It’s also worth remembering the players created a new position for Woods on the board out of thin air. You’re not wrong for thinking everyone is just making this up as they go.

Who is the “subset” that doesn’t want McIlroy to return?

(Sigh) OK, let’s get into it. McIlroy didn’t name names, but sources tell Golf Digest that Patrick Cantlay, Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods were not particularly eager to welcome McIlroy back. The icy relationship between Cantlay and McIlroy is well-documented; McIlroy himself conceded last fall in an interview with the Irish Independent. “My relationship with Cantlay is average at best. We don’t have a ton in common and see the world quite differently.”

Later in the interview, when speaking to the infamous spat between McIlroy and Cantlay’s caddie, Joe LaCava, at the Ryder Cup, McIlroy said, “LaCava used to be a nice guy when he was caddieing for Tiger, and now he’s caddieing for that d--k he’s turned into a … I still wasn’t in a great headspace.” The McIlroy-Woods relationship, sources tell Golf Digest, has also soured over the past six months. It remains cordial, yet their different views on the future of professional golf has led to a falling out of sorts. As for Spieth and McIlroy, McIlroy removed himself from a player text chain following Spieth’s comments at Pebble Beach (where Spieth said the tour doesn’t need PIF after the deal with SSG), leading to an hour-long chat between the two. “My thing was if I’m the original [potential] investor that thought that they were going to get this deal done back in July, and I’m hearing a board member say that we don’t really need them now, how are they going to think about that, what are they gonna feel about that?” McIlroy said. “They are still sitting out there with hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, that they’re gonna pour it into sport. And I know what Jordan was saying. … But if I were PIF and I was hearing that coming from here, the day after doing this SSG deal, it wouldn’t have made me too happy, I guess?”

The tension remained at the Players Championship, where Spieth and McIlroy played together in the first two rounds and featured combative moments in the first round regarding two of McIlroy’s drops.

What are the Woods/Cantlay/Spieth arguments against McIlroy?

As a preface, let us again state that if anyone deserves grace, it’s McIlroy. What he did over two years for the tour and the game brought an invisible pain and weight that can't be measured, and he was sold out by the very thing he was trying to defend. However, there is the idea that McIlroy did resign an elected spot, and players—and not just on the board—don’t think he just gets to simply walk on back.

“He was very clear that it was too much for him. He had business dealings, he has a kid, he wants to focus on his game. Trust me, I get it. But once you quit, you’re not getting back,” Kevin Streelman, a former member of the policy board who ran against McIlroy for Player Advisory Council chairman, told Golfweek. “I wouldn’t quit on something that you were elected to by your peers. To want back in is peculiar.”

There is also the perception of a financial entanglement. McIlroy is part of the Fenway-backed TGL Boston team and Fenway is a major player in the Strategic Sports Group. That McIlroy’s team and tour leadership have attempted to sell the board on McIlroy’s return, sources tell Golf Digest, has further raised suspicions.

Additionally, while players are fine with McIlroy changing his stance on PIF involvement, sources tell Golf Digest, a set of them don't like that McIlroy is frustrated others haven't changed their opinions with him.

And let's be honest, there's also some ego involved, to say nothing of a power play. It's like "Succession," only if everyone was Kendall Roy.

How ridiculous is all of this?

Well, as a history minor in college, we were warmed to see McIlroy invoke the Good Friday Agreement when asked his thoughts about how all of this is resolved. For context: “I sort of liken it to like when Northern Ireland went through the peace process in the '90s and the Good Friday Agreement, neither side was happy,” McIlroy said Wednesday. “Catholics weren't happy, Protestants weren't happy, but it brought peace and then you just sort of learn to live with whatever has been negotiated, right? That was in 1998 or whatever it was and 20, 25, 30 years ahead, my generation doesn't know any different. It's just this is what it's always been like and we've never known anything but peace.” McIlroy has a valid point, but also … we’re invoking a peace treaty that ended a three-decades long actual war in the context about, essentially, two battling golf businesses.

So, what does all of this mean? Well, unity between the PGA Tour and PIF doesn’t solely hinge on McIlroy’s participation. But Wednesday’s development doesn’t help, to say nothing of the optics of the internal politics at play with the tour. And until those fissures are fixed, it’s unlikely that golf’s civil war will thaw anytime soon.

Live from Paris: Taylor Swift adds 'Tortured Poets' songs to Eras Tour in France

PARIS, France — The Chairman jump-started her tour after a two-month hiatus, and anticipation was high over whether Taylor Swift would incorporate her 11th era album into the Eras Tour set at La Défense Arena on Thursday.

She did and then some.

Swift extended the set list by one track to land at 46 songs. But many changes were made along the way. She added a new era for "The Tortured Poets Department," cut a handful of songs and rearranged most of the eras including combining the sets for "Folklore" and "Evermore."

She also debuted a number of new outfits along the way.

Delivering all the updates were Bryan West, the USA TODAY Network's full-time Taylor Swift reporter, from inside La Défense Arena in Paris, with Swiftie and trending reporter Anthony Robledo assisting from his desk.

'Midnights' set follows secret songs

Swift stuck to her original set list for the "Midnights" era by singing "Lavender Haze," "Anti-Hero" and "Midnight Rain." She ended the night with a triumphant rendition of "Karma" as usual.

'loml' is second secret song

Fans got one more taste of "The Tortured Poets Department" when Swift played the heartbreaking song "loml" on the piano during her secret set.

'Paris' is a secret song, of course

Swift started her secret set with "Paris," a bonus song from her "Midnights" album.

'Tortured Poets' set list

Swift played these songs from her newest album:

• "But Daddy I Love Him"
• "So High School"
• "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me"
• "Fortnight"
• "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived"
• "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart"

New 'Tortured Poets' set is here

Toward the end of her show, Swift officially launched the long-awaited “The Tortured Poets Department” section of the tour after the 1989 era.

Swift performed the track “But Daddy I Love Him” off the April 19 album for her ecstatic fans while wearing a new beige dress with cursive letters.  

A road spiraled down the catwalk in an animation to initiate the era. The background animation showed a deserted road while large cages animated and fell on the road.

“Oh my god you should see your faces,” she sang.

She quickly segued into a brief moment of “So High School,” the beloved track speculated to be about her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She quickly performed the powerhouse anthem “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me.”

Swift switched to “Down Bad” before seamlessly transitioning into the lead single “Fortnight.” Stage production recreated an asylum that resembled the music video for the song with Post Malone, recorded harmony played concluding the song. 

Dancers entered the stage in a marching band style format playing drums as she performed the wrath-fueled song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Jan Ravnik and Kameron Saunders then revived Swift in a jazzy skit to set up “I Can Do With A Broken Heart,” where she debuted another new outfit. 

“The End” text displayed wrapping up the era that’s likely here to stay. Other beloved tracks like “Guilty As Sin” and “Florida!” did not make the cut.

New '1989' outfit

Swift never goes out of Style. During her “1989” set, she debuted a new, sequined outfit of blue and pink. Her sparkly shoes matched with a different colored heel on each. For the bridge of “Blank Space,” the crowd started chanting in Sydney, Australia, “Syd-ney” as a nod to the 1989 World Tour concert movie where Swift would chant the name of the city she was in after hitting a pole with a club two times. Singapore followed the chant and Taylor Nation tweeted they want every city to incorporate the fan-fueled chant.In Paris, thousands chanted “Par-ee,” the French way to say the capital city.

Swift made no cuts to the "1989" set.

Four songs cut from 'Folklore' and 'Evermore'

The new set list cut four tracks from the "Folklore" and "Evermore" eras:

• "'Tis the Damn Season"
• "Tolerate It"
• "The Last Great American Dynasty"

The combined set included eight songs altogether and wrapped up with "Willow."

'Folkmore' set debuts

Swift revealed she merged the 2020 pandemic albums “Folklore” and “Evermore” into one section. She told fans she wrote “Folklore” to represent spring and summer with “Evermore” representing fall and winter in what she always considered sister albums.

“On the Eras Tour we have now reunited the sisters, combined them into one chapter,” she said. “You can call it whatever you want as long as you promise to sing ‘Champagne Problems’ with me.”

'Folklore' set: 'Cardigan' makes the cut

Many fans had speculated "Cardigan" would be cut from the set list. But Swift actually moved it to the top of the "Folklore" set.

Up next: 'Reputation'

Swift kicked off her fifth set with "Ready for It?"

Another surprise: 'Speak Now' era comes fourth

Swift updated her "Speak Now" set with an intro dance featuring Raphael Thomas and eight other dancers wearing flowy purple dresses. She then sang "Enchanted."

Fan favorite track "Long Live" was cut from the set list.

Order of eras changed

After a fairly routine "Fearless" set, Swift altered her concert by including the “Red” era third instead of the expected “Evermore” set. Previously, "Red" came fifth.

With a new shirt that read “This Is Not Taylor’s Version,” the singer performed "22" and showed her audience that they needed to leave any expectations at home. 

The relocated "Red" set included the same four songs: "22," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "All Too Well (10-Minute Version)."

Beflore playing “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” Swift talked about bringing all of her favorite memories to France.She did her 2019 “Lover” live show here but hadn’t brought a tour to the country since the Speak Now World Tour 13 years ago.“I cannot thank you enough. I’m so moved," she said.

First set list change

Swift cut "The Archer" from her "Lover" set before beginning her "Fearless" set in a silver and black minidress as opposed to her classic gold one. A graphic showed her "Lover" house with a new addition in the attic for "The Tortured Poets Department." Her "Fearless" set remained the same with "Fearless," "You Belong With Me" and "Love Story."

'Je m'appelle Taylor'

In her monologue before playing the song "Lover," Swift said the night would span 18 years of music. Previously, the concert covered 16 years. Get ready for a "The Tortured Poets Department" addition some time tonight.

She confirmed the tour would still go era by era, and also spoke about how Paramore is a band she idolized since she was a teenager. She ended with some French: "Je m'appelle Taylor."

First new outfit

Swift debuted a new, orange bodysuit and jacket for the "Lover" set.

Snippet of 'Tortured Poets' in intro

A snippet of the song "The Tortured Poets Department" was included in the intro music Swift kicks the concert off with. Is she foreshadowing other changes ahead? It seems likely.

Swift took the stage about 8 p.m. in Paris (2 p.m. ET) to relaunch her Eras Tour in Europe. She kicked it off with a countdown clock and the Lesley Gore song "You Don't Own Me" as usual. Then she began her "Lover" set with "Miss Americana."
