That's great news. The last time (2014) the academy was hopping. Can't believe that was 8 years ago. Hope they get a big crowd, Olympia holds 2 as many as Academy???

Will be great to see them again. Is the Ulster Hall not a bit big? 1200 people? They'd be lucky to fill the Limelight I would have thought.

Was thinking that myself. It's not like they got a shit hot support bill or anything. At least it won't sell out so getting a ticket could wait

Got my tickets for the Ulster hall there. Ticketmaster had 'low availability ' on it. Didn't think they'd be close to selling out but I guess it is a Saturday night

I think you're right.  I only picked up my ticket two weeks ago, glad I didn't leave it too late. Last time I saw them was back in 2014, roll on Saturday night.  8)

Certainly was a big surprise. Was expecting a half full hall.

I won't make this because of other commitments but I think it's great to see Saxon sell out that venue..restores my faith in classic rock! Well done the fans!

Great show last night. Played for about 2 hours with quite a few of the new album mixed with the classics.

Sweet savage were shite and looked like wankers

I thought this thing of getting Sweet Savage to support every gig in Ireland was done, I remember the disappointment of them supporting Maiden in 2010 and them being monumentally shite!!

On Sweet Savage, I too wasn't thrilled to see them added to the bill. Especially when the rest of Europe gets Rage as openers!
I got in early and actually enjoyed them though. Surprised. Am I the only one? Probably!
