Yeah i'm delighted, fair play to DME for getting it over and squeezing this tour into the National Stadium

Great to finally see Hatebreed back even if it's just as support no interest in Decapitated unless it's another old school set which it most likely won't be.

What's the National Stadium like?

Bigger than the Olympia then. Hopefully the pints are nice and the sound is good.

As far as I know there's no beer on draught in the National Stadium but you can buys cans of Guinness, Bulmers and Carlsberg.

Well that's bollox I won't be paying €6.50 for a can of draught piss.

For anyone wondering ticket prices for this are almost the same as Testament which is a bit of a killer when you are only interested in one band but hopefully Hatebreed get an hour and only play songs from the first 3 albums  :-X

Came to €73.55 after fees. Will have to try hold off on the €6.50 cans  ;D

Bar situation is dire in The National Arena, but its a decent venue overall. Used to go to OTT there all the time before covid.

Funnily enough, one of the things that made me bite on a ticket to see Slayer in London was the prospect of seeing Hatebreed again. They briefly supported Machine Head back in 2010, at which point I was a huge fan.

So it's weird that this gets announced a few weeks after I book everything.

I guess they might get a good 45m set here, though.

Gone a few times myself and I think it was 2 Capn Morgan and cokes for 7 quid... I won't hold my breath for such luxury this time around!

I saw Exodus/Testament in the National Stadium in 2020 and thought it was a great venue. The bar is in a separate room if I'm not mistaken, and it was 5 euro for a pint. Don't remember anything about cans

They used to have taps (even stocked O'Haras for a while) but it's now all cans and they have been known to close the bar at 20:00 at some gigs, not sure what the story is with this one though.
