Title: The Exploited - The Grand Social 22/09/22
Post by: mickO))) on June 27, 2022, 07:31:19 PM
Was just watching the Hellfest stream live last night thinking I would love to see them live. They haven't played here too often but when they did for one reason or another I was never able to make it.

Came across this on ticketmaster. Tickets on sale Friday. From the poster looks like Discharge and some others bands will be the support.

Saw them at the London Astoria back in 2004. Decided on a whim to go see them at the Voodoo Lounge 3 or 4 years ago. Thank fuck I did because it was one of the best live shows I've ever been at. They played here again the year after then and it was unreal again. Will definitely be at this.

They destroyed Hellfest last week. Def worth going to see them.

Tickets on sale. Belfast the next day as well. Would have went to Belfast also but it's the same night as Bellator.

Dublin tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.ie/the.../venueartist/198465/874539
Belfast tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.ie/venueartist/459772/874539

The crowd up on the stage at Hellfest was crazy I am guessing bands are probably warned not to do that type of thing because you rarely see it. Wattie was delighted with it  :laugh:

Ah fuck I'd no idea this was on! Are gigs just not being promoted now outside a few posts on social media?

Correct.

Best gig so far this year and the best live band I have seen in a long time. It is insane to think Wattie is 66 years of age and still going strong after his heart attack a few years ago. I was expecting this to be good but was far better than expected. Army life was the first song I ever heard by them and they played it last night.

Honestly wish I wasn't going to Bellator tonight and could go to the Belfast gig instead.
