Ireland, Dublin, February 15th 2026

We don’t have tickets, Jo couldn’t help us, but we did book a flight and hotel. Worst case scenario, we’ll be drinking our sorrows in the pub next door.
I got a message from Aoife that I could come with her on her guest ticket. Now we still need a ticket for Ozzy. He doesn’t want to be left behind all by himself of course.
OOOOOOOOMMMMMGGGGGG I found tickets on the official ticket website through Mike’s website 2 tickets for Dublin, It are seats tho. We bought them. If we find better tickets we will sell these again on ticketswap, but at least we can get excited!!! And Ozzy can get in as well. Maybe Aoife can help us by smuggling us in a guest list box, but that’s illigal.
OMG We found stalls tickets on ticketswap. I got a notification on my phone. Then it said that the tickets were sold, so I was too late, but they were not officially sold yet, I just kept refreshing the website, and they came availbale again. so we bought them!!!!
But we can’t resell the seating tickets anymore. I’m in touch with ticketmaster, and I’ll see what we can do. hey can’t do anything. We have to find a buyer and transfer the tickets or we need to sell them at the door. Anyway we can stand up front again!!! 2 more weeks to go!! Reselling on ticketswap wasn’t availble either,. but I can transfer them. I sold the seating tickets through Twickets. Thanks so much for the tip Strange days indeed. I’m so happy!!!
We could sign up, to receive the setlist and stage times from Mike on the day before the gig. We go to 6 gigs, we needed to sign up for 6 gigs. All seperatly, I couldn’t select 6 gigs at once.. Well… we didn’t need to, but I did. Only got 1 confirmation tho. Anyway…. I’m so excited!!!!
Mark’s cousin sent me a message yesterday (Friday), if we wanted to go to Ajax today (Saturday). Yeah why not!! He had 3 tickets for us. It’s too late for Roos, but Ozzy can join us. He is coming over to us already.He just has to come over earlier then he expected. I called Ozzy if he wanted to join, and he did. Then I had to find someone to take care of Roos. Mark’s parents wanted to do that. Bless them.

On Saturday we have a very busy day. In the morning we went to the horse stables, because Roos had to go horse riding. Ebony this time. a Shetlander.
Then we went to Noordwijkerhout for the Carnaval parade. We had to leave earlybecause Mark had to play football. We waited for the Carnaval float from Hillegom passed us.
While Mark played football, Roos took care of the Guinea pigs of our neighbours. I took a shower.
When Mark got home from Football, we brought Roos to his parents. she will have pancakes tonight for dinner.
Mark andI I went back home. When Ozzy arrived we left to the Johan Cruijff Arena to watch Ajax. Mark’s cousin was there as well. Ajax won with 4-1!! Woohoo!!! It’s been a while. They haven’t been really good lately, but today was a good day, and very busy.
We went to Ajax. Very romantic on Valentine’s Day 😜

We bought some food at Maccy D and took it home. We said goodbye and thanked Mark’s parents. They brought Roos home and brought her to bed.
Time for us to sleep as well, cos our alarm goes off at 6:30. ARE YOU READY FOR THE STREETS?

At 6:30 our alarm went off. Roos slept next to me last night. Mark in Roos’ bed. And Ozzy in his own bed in The Streets room. He woke up underneath the a grand don’t come for free poster. Is this a sign? 😂

Mark and Roos dropped us off at the airport. Everything went smoothly. We got some breakfast at Mc Donald’s. And then we walked to the gate. When we queued the security guard was a lady (Ana)I know from the security at Transavia. She was surprised to see me, but she was very friendly.
Flight was ok. Bit bumpy. But doable. When we arrived at the airport, we struggled a bit to find Ollie (the Streets archive) and Amber. But we managed. There was another guy who saw our Streets merch, he flew over from Manchester. He is going to the gig as well.

Ollie, Amber, Ozzy and I took a taxi to the hotel. We couldn’t check in yet, so we went shopping instead, only I got a message from Aoife, that she was there already, we decided to meet up with her instead. It was lovely weather. Cold, but sunny. It was a nice stroll through Dublin.she is in the other side of the Liffey

So good to see her. It’s been a while. She had some food, we had a drink. Then we walked to our side of the Liffey. To meet up with Ollie and Amber. We may call him Rolly, because we get confused when we talk about him. Cos obviously The Streets have a roady called Olly as well. We have a few drinks, but not to many, When we’re up front I don’t want to leave my spot.

After the gig is a different story tho haha. At 3ish we go back to the hotel. We need to check in still and charge our phone. We won’t be long in the room tho, we need some food still. We meet up with Ollie and Amber and we walk to Brogans, the pub next to the venue. When Aoife arrives, we get some food. A burger and chips for us. Then back to Brogans.
Just after 6:30 we joined the queue it’s a bit longer then expected, but not to bad. Aoife, Ollie and Amber join us. I love the fact that many people recognise Ollie from his Instagram. At 7 the doors open. We go inside. We’re up front!!!!! Aoife joins us as well. Ollie had special accessible seats, but in a cage.He’s not an animal…… Luckily he could come to the front and sit besides us.
Shep & Jessie were here as well, they were at the upper circle. We waved at each other.
Still have to wait for an hour before Star One comes on, as support act. He played some old tunes. But what I liked most from that, is that Ping MC’d.
At 9 it was time for the Streets. The curtain dropped and OMG there is a fucking busstop on stage! Wow!!! Goosebumps.


































































I don’t want to give any spoilers about the gig yet. It was amazing! but it was more then that! I can’t descrive wit words how incredible it was.
After the gig we go to the stage door. We meet 2 boys who were there in 2023 as well. They recognised us. They had the setlist. I can take a photo of the setlist. Thanks guys!!! I think these were the boys who went with their mum in 2023.

Then we saw Gabriel and Kevin. We said hello. It’s Gabe’s birthday today. Happy birthday Gabe. We didn’t want to look like stalkers, it’s also freezing and we needed a drink, so we went to the bar next to the venue again.
After a while Wayne, Ruth and Max walked in. We said hello. We saw the tourbus in front of the pub. We went outside but it was so cold. We decided to go back in. We have pretty decent seats. Wayne, Ruth and Max went back to the bus. They said goodbye to us. We met Ruth and she introduced herself to us. She was amazing.
After a few minutes Olly (the roady) and Baz came inside. They joined us. And Cassell came in as well, he also joined us. There were some other fans as well. They wanted to give Cassell a pint, but he already got a pint from Olly and Baz, so I said to them “get me one please” and they did. How lovely!! I joked to be honest, but that was lovely. They thought we were with the crew earlier. I told them we werent, but they didn’t believe us. When Olly, Baz and Cassell joined us, we seem very untrustworthly now. haha
There were 3 x people thinking we were crew. They didn’t believe us when we said we were just fans. Ok that’s fine. Believe what you want. LOL
The boys leave at 1, that was for us also a good moment to go as well. Aoife went back to her hotel. So did we. Rolly and Amber never came back after the gig. But they woke up really early this morning. We totally understand you passed out after the gig. We never saw Shep and Jessie afterwards unfortunately. Hopefully soon!!
Good night all. Tomorrow we fly back home. Next gig will be Groningen in The Netherlands. Or maybe Oberhausen. It’s very tempting to go!!

I wake up at 9, I take a shower. But I’m pretty hungry. Hopefully Ozzy is awake already and up for breakfast. Luckily he is. He’s hungry too
When we come downstairs we see Ollie and Amber. We sit next to them. Have a little chat about last night. And then enjoy our breakfast.
Yesterday I wanted to go to the Disney store, but we didn’t, so we go today. I didn’t want to buy anything, but I did anyway. A pressie for Roos. Pixar Uno.

We also saw Molly Malone statue

And I want to go to a Guinness souvenir store. I bought some chocolate at the souvenir shop. Chocolate with Baileys. Then we met Aoife at the old store house. Aoife had to go home. We walked towards the Liffey We met up with Ollie and Amber. We went to the River bar to have food and drinks with them.

Then it was time to look for the bus. We walk to the bus stop next to Trinity College. We have to wait 15 minutes for the bus.
Was lovely to see you all. Was lovely to meet you Olly and Amber!
On the airport we get a burger at Burger King. Then I got a text from Shep that he went to our gate, but we’re not at the gate yet. He went back to his own gate already. He is in the other terminal. We still have like 2 hours to go. What he can do, we can do as well. We walked over to to his terminal, and then he came down to meet us. Was lovely to see you Shep!!!
At about 9 we’re home. Mark and Roos picked us up. Bless then! Bye all! See you next time.

what a great show !
