I was thinking it might be useful to have a thread with a list of venues, promoters, contact details and any other relevant information relating to gigging around the country, especially Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Limerick, Galway etc.
Something like this:
Venue:
City/Town:
Promoter:
Contact:
Other info:
**Admin edit**
Please continue to post anything new in this thread and the list will get updated
Venue: Dolans (warehouse/kasbah/upstairs)
City/Town: Limerick
Promoter: Bad Reputation

Other info: Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/badreputation.ireland/)
Venue: Various
City/Town: Cork
Promoter: Paranoid Beast
Contact: subtlebeastpromotion@gmail.com

Venue: The Well Bar
City/Town: Nenagh
Promoter: Nightmare Promotions
Contact: Telephone / FB messenger
Other info: Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Nightmare-Promotions-352443441581853/)

City/Town: Galway
Promoter: Damage Inc.
Contact: Telephone / FB messenger
Other info: Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Damage-Inc-Galway-551047805283424/)
Will edit if I think of more. This should be moved to gigs forum I'd say for reference.
Good idea. I'll work on a way to combine these posts and turn it into an easily navigated list. There's going to be overlap with multiple promoters working in one venue, and one promoter having multiple venues.
What would be most useful?
1 - A list of venues with all the relevant promoters listed beneath the venue
Venue 1
Promoter 1
Promoter 2
Venue 2
Promoter 1
Promoter 3
2 - A list of promoters with all the relevant venues listed beneath the promoter
Promoter 1
Venue 1
Venue 2
Promoter 2
Venue 1
Venue 3
The list will be filterable so you can easily have it list only the results you want to see, but I'm wondering if the primary focus should be on promoters or venues
While we're at it, can somebody explain the difference between Voodoo Lounge and On The Rox?
I'd say sort it by promoter, it will be easier to sor through and amend as needed.
I've created a new page with a list of promoters. Should be easier than having to dig through this thread to find information. It can be sorted and filtered as needed.
https://www.metalwarfare.com/promoters-and-venues/
Keep posting anything new in this thread and I'll get update the page as needed.
Cheers for the help everyone!
**Moving to gigs forum**
General info request here. I promote harsh noise, drone, industrial, experimental gigs. Usually there's a bit of crossover with metal and hardcore (often solo projects of people from heavy bands). Is it alright to post info on the gig forum or would you rather keep it strictly metal? Thanks.
I'm happy enough to have a few noise gigs on the forum, so post away!
Might need to rethink things if the forum grows and becomes flooded with "non-strictly-metal" things, but for now it's not an issue.

Voodoo Lounge = bigger downstairs venue, On the Rox=smaller upstaird venue. Same building.
Venue: Sligo Whiplash Festival (yearly)
City/Town: Sligo

I also have a note here that just says "Tebs - Galway" because I have no contact for him lol
That's a lot of help. Thanks for that! List is updated
I think Tebs might be retired ?
Obviously I can't speak for Luca but bear in mind it's a record shop rather than a venue, they're selective about who they put on there for that reason. I've seen heavier bands there but not metal per se.
McDowell's in Inchicore (look em up on instagram I suppose) has a lounge that regularly hosts hc/punk/indie gigs, I know Og wants heavier bands in there.
Being DIY spaces, neither venue would have much for the more ..err.."conservative" end of the metal scene though, if you get me.

Oh yeah - probably should have specified with Luca and some others - you would get away with "heavier" stuff but not necessarily all types of metal. I thought Coroza were down to play Luca at one point so at least as heavy as that anyway there.
I had all these sitting in a spreadsheet but thought they would be useful here rather than reneged away to myself.
I'll remove tebs :laugh: but will look up McDowells too meself, cheers
Tebs (assuming you mean him in Galway) is still at it as West Coast Punx, or so I believe. Mainly punk/hardcore but they have the odd metal band on. Genuflection (his doom/crust band) are actually playing tonight in the Ol' 55.
Alternative Munster do shows in The Poor Relation in Cork, also.
