When Picture This announced they would be doing five consecutive nights in the 3Arena, most of us were like:
Who gave Picture This the idea that they can sell out 5 nights in 3arena

Well it wasn't so much 'who gave them the idea?' - it was simply a mammoth task, but with the Kildare quartet being who they are, it turned out to be a piece of cake, a very tasty cake!
ALL FIVE NIGHTS IN THE 3ARENA ARE SOLD OUT!!!!
Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow all sold out too and limited tickets left for Brighton and London!
Thank you so much 🙌ðŸ»ðŸ™ŒðŸ»ðŸ™ŒðŸ»ðŸ™ŒðŸ» pic.twitter.com/u44XgrfviY— Picture This (@BandPictureThis) October 30, 2018
What people may have forgot is that last November the lads sold out their two 3Arena gigs in 3 minutes. THREE MINUTES.
Another huge factor to the demand for tickets is their new sound.
Earlier this month, the band dropped their latest track 'One Drink' and it's being lapped up by fans across the globe. Everyone's loving their fresh vibe.
Speaking on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, band member Jimmy Rainsford explained how they didn't set out to redevelop their work, "I think a lot of people think we consciously went and changed our sound, which we didn't, that just progressively happened".
Frontman Ryan Hennessy then revealed how they had to bin a whole album due to their newfound approach. The last song on that 'missing album' was the first one involving this 'new sound'. But they didn't see it as two months wasted, it was quite the contrary, as Jimmy told us, "we just were like, we should definitely just do songs like this".
Picture This release their second album 'MDRN LV' on February 15th next year, and according Rainsford, it really embodies what they're all about, "I would actually consider this album more Picture This than ever - personality wise and who we are".
The lads had some time to get into the Halloween spirit and do some dress up. They love the craic they do!
Behold: the @BandPictureThis 'Thriller' cover you didn't know you needed this #Halloween!! 👻🎃We just love their little instruments 😂ðŸ˜@DermotTodayFM @DaveTodayFM pic.twitter.com/AoIhLuV8vA

The only question left is what arena will they fill out next?
