Wonder how much the tix will be :(
Event Info
19th June support acts are Pantera and Avatar
21st June support acts are Gojira and Knocked Loose
That would be some craic.
Details here:
https://mcd.ie/artists/metallica (https://mcd.ie/artists/metallica)
"Two-night tickets for Dublin's Aviva Stadium on 19 & 21 June cost from €121.25 to €261.25, subject to Ticketmaster charges. Concerts are subject to licence."
This is not how I'll see Knocked Loose
Pantera and Gojira are decent supports.
Much better than Bokassa and Ghost at Slane.
Amazing lineup. It'll be a brilliant weekend I'm gonna do the both nights
I heard Croke park June 4th
I wonder how many two-day tickets will actually exist for €120. I'll talk shit about modern Metallica all day but they're always fun live and both days support is worth seeing. Can't see a world where I'm not at both nights.

With the in-the-round setup not sure if I'd rather sit for this
Acoustic Mike Leather secret support slot IN THE ROUND.
No interest in this myself but if anyone, not from Dublin, is considering going to this - try to find and book a hotel now.
The Bloomsday Festival is the same week - not that you'll have that much crossover in terms of fandom but I had a pain in the hole trying to find a hotel for work during Bloomsday and anywhere decent/reasonable was booked out with Americans wanting to wear straw boater hats and eat cheese in Davy Byrnes.
Quote from: Pain Medicine on May 22, 2025, 10:18:43 AMWith the in-the-round setup not sure if I'd rather sit for this
I've seen a few people giving out about the setup, things like you could be up close to the stage and see nothing because they've all walked off to the other side, or looking at the band with their backs turned
I'll probably take a look at seating once there's an idea of the layout
Can I go whatever night they don't have whisky in the jar in the set?
Gojira would be the only draw for me and I'm not pushed enough about seeing them to pay Metallica prices. The 'in the round' set up wouldn't be for me either. Last time I saw them was on the Load/Reload tour in the Point, they had that set up and it wasn't great, this looks to be a bigger version of that.
Well I'll be going to both nights, looking forward to this actually. Last album did nothing for me bar a few songs but this will be cool I think.

That's what I was thinking, I remember seeing some photos from the standing and thought that the stage looked very high. Maybe it's not a big deal if you just stand back a bit.

Ghost were great at Slane!
Definitely going both nights but I'm not so sure about that in the round setup, don't want to be stuck looking at Lars's arse :laugh:
Will do both nights but dread hotel costs...
They did In The Round in the Odyssey in 2010, I was seated for it but it was pretty good setup. Unless you're desperate to be close to the stage, I can't imagine your view will be limited by the height of the stage.
luckily i have mates in Dublin I can stay with, probably go on the lash the first night and drive up and down the 2nd
Only copped the prices, €200ish at the mid point for both days is surprisingly reasonable given current prices for big stadium gigs
Yeah I was thinking that too actually with the supports especially, Pantera tickets for the 3arena were €90 and they do an hour (almost their full set) when opening for Metallica on this tour anyway.
I don't think I'll bother with this. I've said that I wouldn't bother with Metallica again after I'd seen them in 2008 for the 5th time. But I went to see them again in Slane and was quite underwhelmed.
To be fair, I was more than halfway back in the field, and being that far from the stage is almost always a downer for me.
Gojira and Pantera are great supports, I'm sure it will be a mighty day out. Summer solstice too, I hope the weather will be cracking for ye 🤞
I was at the point gig were the where in the middle, though it was great myself!.I'd say seated up high in the Aviva it could be the perfect set up!.
Will most likely head to the Pantera date but it's more of a day out then going to enjoy a proper gig as I am sure ill be watching them on a screen.
What's the deal with the 2 Metallica sets? Will one be the good stuff up to and including Justice then second day is the shite or will they be playing the shite stuff both nights?
Any idea of prices

Mix and match I think. Plenty of trips to the bar or jacks so.
Which night gets Whiskey?
Funny, every bog standard rocker/casual gig goer will be asking the same for the opposite reason.
Oh lord this'll be full of them, won't it.
Kinda related to Whiskey/weekend warrior types, I remember going to see a mate's covers band twenty years ago. The used to open with Thin Lizzy's "Are You Ready". They are playing a venue that typically wouldn't have rock bands on, and after they finished the song, they had some casuals shout "play some good music, like Thin Lizzy, not that shite".
Ah lads, seriously :laugh:
Quote from: Iliketortles on May 22, 2025, 07:18:19 PMAny idea of prices
They're on the very bottom line of the poster.
Don't forget to add a €10 for ticket bastard fees.
Can't really decide if I'll go or not. I like the atmosphere of a big gig and the supports are great, also the cheaper tickets aren't outrageous for 2 days. However, I'm just not the biggest Metallica fan and have seen them live before though not in nearly 20 years. Also this will be chock full of gobshites. Loads of my mates will end up going so the session will be mighty but I'd hate to go and be bored after spending all that money.
Just saw an ad for this/these on Sky Atlantic, they're really pushing it.
My brother asked if I'd go with himself and my niece so I'm going. Looking forward to a day out with them. Don't care at all about the gig.
Read a review of one of these 2 night things and it wasn't great
Looks like myself and the brother will be going. We last saw Metallica together in 2006 at the RDS. Talking today, bit of a nostalgia trip, 20 year anniversary were getting older so is the band.
If we leave it another 20years I'll be 70 and James and lars will be well into there 80s. :laugh:

Would actually rather see a tribute band in an intimate venue nowadays than seeing the real thing on a bigger scale

Talking to the bro today yes. 20 years. He bought his house that year so vivid memories. Playing with korn(no show), Alice in chains etc. Was a scorcher of a day. We took a selfie that day with a digital camera, Cool pic and if we go we want to recreat another see how we've changed. :laugh:

Ah, the oul' event surfing will be in full swing for this. You couldn't pay me to go TBH. Unless it was to the Gojira night, straight on the bus home after them.
My 11 year old is learning guitar and he's getting into Metallica, so he's been pestering me to bring him to a gig. I was initially thinking of bringing him to Maiden in Malahide but didn't bother getting tickets in the end. I think I'll bring him to this. I've almost zero interest myself but I think I'd never be forgiven if he knew this was on and dad didn't bring him.
There's going to be some amount of disillusioned Dads at this by the sounds of it , there should be a bar or something for ye all to go. Apathetics Anonymous.

No, sorry. I'll spend the money on other gig tickets for bands I haven't seen yet. Metallica have enough of mine!
Just listening to AJFA there and the vocals are fucking outstanding on it.
I missed Pantera and I'd like to see Gojira but I've seen Metallica 3 times and the last time they played Master Of Puppets all the way through so I think I'll skip this one tbh even though it does sound a bit tempting
So many edgelords on here, hey bro, I'm too metal for Metallica 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't think that's it at all really.
Metallica are legendary and I've still never seen them. I'd love to, but I'm really not too pushed about this because stadiums are absolutely terrible. Any venue above a certain size is really no appeal to me to be honest, it takes away from the show.
Obviously when a band gets that popular, they kind of have to play on that scale to match the demand, or they'd have to have to do insane residencies. It is what it is.
This will be a truly awful experience X 2
Edgelord :laugh:
At least it's not Croke Park which must be the worst place to see a gig with the shitiest sound. I saw AC/DC and Roger Waters in Lansdowne Road and thought the sound was decent. It's smaller than Croker too.

I saw AC/DC in the Aviva, & the sound was muck
Saw AC/DC in Punchestown a few years before that, & the sound was great
I enjoyed Metallica in Slane
The sound was great
I think stadiums are not suited to gigs
Big open fields work for my hearing; not sports stadiums
Maybe if you're down on the pitch, but I'd imagine the sound bouncing off the stands/partial roof/etc would ruin it wherever you are
I was on the pitch for both of those gigs but I wouldn't be the fussiest person when it comes to sound though Croker has always sounded bad anytime I was there for a gig.
only two day standing tickets available in presale are VIP 450 euro, gives you early entry apparently. Seated tickets are 275.
I'll wait for general sale
Mental fucking money. Disgusting shite. Long gone are the days where you might consider bringing your kid to see a big band live- you'd be looking down the barrel of a fuckin grand! How have ticket prices gone from £12.50 in the early 90s to this? I mean, if it was €60 it would still be steep enough but €450??? Get thyself nicely fucked.
they are for the 2 day tickets but I know what you mean, crazy price, those are the VIP ones, you get a free mug and a free drink :laugh:
hopefully the general standing will be available on Friday, not sure what price they will be but seats for the 2 day pass are 275. Was tempted to buy them as there was two nice ones together on lower stand but I really want standing tickets so I can go for pints and a piss without annoying lads sitting beside me.
Does the VIP ticket include lube?
i doubt Lars supplies lube :laugh:
can get upper tier tickets for 135, not bad for two gigs
That's a slightly nicer ass fuck. Like being raped by a herd of wild horses, but they are all quite beautiful (for a herd of wild horses).
Got 2 standing eventually, kept getting rejected or shown only the VIP early entry tickets which are €450 each.
Kept trying to add the normal ones to basket and eventually got in after 35 minutes. Came to about €221 each after fees.
what time did you get those?
Had 6000 ahead of me in the queue, prob got in at 11:10 and like you said was only being shown the frantic early entry standing things, couldn't add any decent seats to basket either. Kept refreshing and eventually got 2 normal pitch standing at about 11:30.
Actually back in the queue for 2 more now, needed 4 but when the 2 when into my basket I didn't want to hit back so just bought them.
If you want standing just keep refreshing and adding them to the basket and you'll get them eventually. They add them in batches. Took me 35 minutes to get them today. Got tickets for Back to the Beginning 4 hours after it "sold out" the same way.
Sound, i'll keep trying. Thanks!
A mate got me standing tickets for the 2 nights, came to E222. I wouldn't have the patience for all the bloody queuing.
Just got 2 seated tickets on the highest level. It came to 340 with the fees. Bloody hell.
I couldn't care less about the bands, but have to take my daughter to see them.
Having no luck but i'll be better prepared tomorrow for the mastercard presale

Eight hundred fucking bills for three tickets. Lads... time to protest.

Thanks. I eventually found a link on reddit. It keeps showing standing tickets but then says not available when you try to check out. No idea why they are showing if they can't be bought unless they are keeping them for legacy presale thing which I think might be a paid subscription.
I am already on the fence about going to this so if I can't get standing ill be giving it a miss.
I'd say the standing allocation for today is gone. There's a MasterCard presale tomorrow and the MCD one on Thursday before general on Friday, if you're holding out for standing.
Does the fifth member link take you to a picture of Bob Rock or is he an ex-fifth member now?

Yeah saw that don't have a Mastercard or know anyone who does and I would say the MCD standing will go in a few minutes so will just be pure luck for anyone who manages to get them.

Ended up buying a snake pit ticket for Cardiff for a cool £650 (one night only for that city).

The meet and greet package lets you choose between meeting Lloyd Grant or Ron McGovney. They have had serious trouble with Ron annihilating the backstage catering though cos he's starving all the time.
Well at least I don't have to wonder if I'm going or not now that I've been priced out of it but to be fair I'm not like surprised in the slightest because it seems to be the going rate for big stuff these days

Just copped that my Canadian Credit Card is Mastercard does anyone know how the presale for this works? Can't see if you need a code or how to get one. Before I copped I had Mastercard myself I was asking around all afternoon and nobody seems to have Mastercard anymore so this is probably the best chance of getting standing.

Thanks. I think the way this goes from the bits I have read is I have to use the Mastercard to pay for the tickets so I might not use it because they will end up costing a fortune with the currency exchange.
As Pain Medicine said above, if you have revolut you can get a disposable MasterCard and exchange is about as close to original as you can get

Was talking to the brother briefly about 11.30am , said he got the 2day pass for the 2 of us for 130euro each(I'm sure there was some add ons at checkout.) Seated up the back at that price I'd say.
Went to checkout hotel prices, absolutely criminal. So we'll be driving.

I took the pro audio they released and synced it.
Here's phone audio from another vid: https://youtu.be/UL4YESgOtSg?si=cxf_tjrsW87GrhOO
They do have their own mini PAs directed back into the snake pit, which may mean the sound is better, but idk. For a few songs, Lars' snare would fucking bounce back off the stadium steps or something, causing an annoying half a second echo.
I might just wait till the 25th of July and try for a single ticket. I'm not fussed about going both nights.

Nice view alright, when you're in front of the band. The people on the other side of the stage look far less enthusiastic. Pity about all the phones too, that would wreck my head.
Look man, I'm not judging you for how you want to spend your money. I am just genuinely shocked that somebody would pay €775 on a single ticket to see Metallica, and play it off like it's not a big amount of money for what you're getting. Being charged €775 for one ticket is not cool.
Counterpoint: It's Metallica, and it's like a once in a lifetime experience (well... twice).
There's not any other band I'd do that for tbf.
Email from Metallica:
Ticketmaster has updated us on the issues experienced by many during today's Fifth Member Presale. We have been assured that full refunds have been confirmed for anyone who was charged without their order successfully going through (tickets did not appear in your Ticketmaster account after 90 minutes).
Fifth Member Fan Club Presales have been extended and will continue through until 9 AM local on Friday, 30 May. Tickets are still available across all dates.
If you missed out today, please try again using the same code you were sent originally. If you need assistance, contact Ticketmaster Fan Support for Germany, Poland, or Switzerland, or fill out a Metallica.com Support Ticket.

Picked up a standing ticket there. Had to go through the Samsung browser on the phone. Chrome kept opening that pile of shit TM app which just would not join the queue no matter how many times you pressed the button.

MCD pre sale link for those interested.
Does anyone know the code???
Costs etc. aside, it's insane to me that Metallica tickets are gonna be hard to come by a year before the show. You could have picked one up outside Slane for fifty quid in 2019. Events post-covid make no sense.
Think there's always a rush on tickets when a big event is announced, but in the weeks beforehand it's usually pretty easy enough to pick up a ticket on the cheap. That's what I'm hoping for anyway! :laugh:
It seems the more they charge the more excited everyone gets and the quicker the tickets go. Baffling.
It is baffling. Are people worried that this is going to sell out tomorrow?
I was in a couple of different shops yesterday and had a Metallica t-shirt on. People at the tills were asking me if I've gotten my ticket yet. One lad told me that his friend sourced tickets for him and his mates, but he couldn't buy just one, there was only the option to buy two, so they're each paying the price for two tickets even though they can only go for the one night. Panic buying essentially.

So they must not have realised that if they wait till the 25th of July they could buy single tickets or maybe they know and don't want to risk waiting in case they miss out.
Metallica tickets are the new bog roll.
these are just the two day tickets. The single nights are going on sale in July. This is brilliant marketing if it makes people buy tickets for 2 shows when they only want to go to one. It will be very easy to buy tickets in the July sale. If I don't get a 2 day ticket today or tomorrow I'm going to buy Friday tickets in July and my mate is going to buy Sunday, will cost more but we will have them. I'm holding out for standing tickets as I don't want to be sitting in the same seats both nights especially if I'm beside some gowl :laugh:
In after 2 mins and the only standing tickets available are €449 each.

I think the rise in popularity of the Wolfe tones with "young people" highlighted this.i know people who bought tickets to see them in thomond park in the summer based on seeing a few videos of them playing to a packed out tent at electric picnic.
I was hoping to maybe make a family day it but roughly €1k is absolutely insane.

Well, that puts it in perspective ???
I'm a bit confused, is the MCD presale only for 2 day tickets?
A lot of what's left now seem to be restricted view and the cheap tickets are miles away..
I wish they had just done one day.

I remember doing final year project work in college. We had a wee ghettoblaster in the lab. One of the boys took the morning off to head into town to buy two tickets for Metallica. He lands in a bit later, delighted with himself that he got his tickets. Asks me (as I'm the main music dork in the class) if I had any music on me. I had a bunch of CDs I just got back from someone. Cool, sure I'll throw on Master of Puppets, he'll love it.
About a minute into Battery, he asks me what this shite is. Eh...

I should have paid more attention and noticed that it was only 2 day tix.
Still though!
Might see how I go when the single tickets are on sale.
Actually!
I wonder if all the band wagon jumpers even realise they're paying for 2 days.
Some craic if they just spent all that and only showed up to the Friday. :laugh:
Quote from: Squigs on May 22, 2025, 09:45:34 AMI wonder how many two-day tickets will actually exist for €120
Did anybody get or even see an option for this?
There's definitely something strange in Ireland where the bigger the event, the bigger the draw is. Slane was always a good example, I know loads that always went but wouldn't have bothered going to Foo Fighters or whoever if they were playing in the Olympia.
Noticed a lot of videos on Tiktok of young people panicing to get tickets and it made me realise there is a whole new generation who never got to see Metallica. My aul fella first seen them in the Top Hat, and I first seen them in the RDS in 2003 but he has 2 younger kids now of 11 & 16 who would chop their arms off to go. Pretty big deal for him to be able to bring them aswell.
Yeah isn't it great that it's a metal gig that's creating such fuss.
I don't think it's a particularly Irish phenomenon..?

I picked up 3 seating then a mate unbeknownst to everyone got 3 standing. So now I have 3 seating spare ffs!!
Thry seem to be available again Mick, 225 I think for 2 nights that's not fucking bad now lads

Resales will open eventually but seems to differ from show to show. You could list Iron Maiden tickets for Malahide pretty much straight away after sales began but AC/DC last year resales didn't open until a few days before the gig.

This morning it kept saying there was no standing left but I kept adding standing tickets to my basket and eventually I got one then a friend got 2 standing about 10 minutes later,if you have the time and the patience it will work eventually,ticketbastard will hold a few thousand for single day tickets
Given that there is such a bigger markup on the single tickets (my Bucharest 1 day was €140), I'd imagine they hold some back for single day sales

I have never seen this before in all my years of buying on TM for shows that tickets constantly showing as available but only some are actually able to buy them. My guess is it's some sort of tactic for the dynamic pricing as they are probably hesitant to be up front about that now given all the criticism they got over the Oasis shows last year so now they are trying something a little less obvious. If some people can get tickets and others can't all they have to say is the issue was with those who couldn't buy not ticketmaster.
Theirs no way Metallica are already close to selling out a 50k stadium in Ireland when they couldn't even sell out Marley park the year they played there and it's not as if they released anything of merit since then that has people scrambling to get tickets for shows. It's going to be same shit show all over again once single tickets go on sale. 50 different pre-sales and tickets showing as available that can't be bought.
Weren't Metallica involved in some Ticketmaster scam just before the pandemic that was setup up to milk fans of as much as they could when getting tickets to shows?

It's going to be same shit show all over again once single tickets go on sale. 50 different pre-sales and tickets showing as available that can't be bought.
Weren't Metallica involved in some Ticketmaster scam just before the pandemic that was setup up to milk fans of as much as they could when getting tickets to shows?
I think pantera the first night will sell out faster on single day tickets than the 2nd night,a mate went to the European leg of the m72 shows and said that it was unbelievable,I've seen them Metallica 7 times my first time was the Antrim forum all those years ago,I'd say this will be my last time seeing them,I love the small venues like the limelight in Belfast for shows now but for this Metallica show I've made an exception hahahaha
That's it, I'm reviving Napster.
I saw their M72 tour two years ago in The Lighthouse (https://www.lighthousecinema.ie/film/metallica-m72-world-tour-live-tx-2). No fuss getting tickets. Just Metallica fans there for the music, not because it was an "event". Time for a drink afterwards and still be home before midnight. And enough money left over to buy a Dewalt DWE560-GB (https://www.screwfix.ie/p/dewalt-dwe560-gb-1350w-184mm-electric-circular-saw-240v/83289)!

Did you keep reloading the entire page or just keep trying to add the ticket to your cart before you got? Nonsense this that some can buy them then others can't.
I just kept adding them to my basket and eventually it let me in,a friend ended up getting 2 standing tickets 5 minutes after me getting mine
I tried all morning it wouldn't work must have tried 50 or 60 times at this stage and 'no tickets available' over and over again so that's me done ill be giving this a miss it has taken up far too much of my time already.
I have never seen this before in all my years of buying on TM for shows that tickets constantly showing as available but only some are actually able to buy them. My guess is it's some sort of tactic for the dynamic pricing as they are probably hesitant to be up front about that now given all the criticism they got over the Oasis shows last year so now they are trying something a little less obvious.

There's no dynamic pricing happening. They could have easily done it but haven't. There's lots of different ranges like you can pay a load extra for early admission or 3500 for the meet and great or 7000 for one if the towers that comes with 8 tickets. The on pitch standing works out at about 105 per night which for a band their size in that venue is good value - well as much good value as a 105 concert ticket can be. I know they're a band everyone likes the shit on for money stuff but they've done alright by the fans this time. I know a lot of people who've paid 450 for 1 Oasis ticket and those fuckers might just not turn up on the night.
Decent seats for 2 nights for €270. Happy with seats, also pretty happy with price. Especially as Pantera were about 90 alone when they were here.
Yeah in fairness although steep over the 100 no dynamic pricing here, reckon everyone looking will get sorted
There's just no value in big gig tickets anymore. 105 for a standing ticket is pretty much par for the course these days unfortunately but at least I'll get 2 good supports (no Sweet Savage in sight!) and a 2 hour headline set.

Think when they did the original no repeat weekends in the states they were the only act that didn't do dynamic pricing in the states that summer.
They've always been a draw when it comes to shows.

Yes I agree the 105 a night is good value but why have so many had issues trying to secure those tickets? why do tickets keep showing up that can't be bought and why were only 450e standing tickets the only thing that was offered during the MCD presale? Yes they were 'Frantic' tickets but the only difference between them and the normal priced ones was you get in earlier. They were double the price and as soon as you need to piss your decent spot you got from being there early is gone
Wasn't in a position to get tix the other day - too much going on. Will there be anything left for the single night ticket sale?
Finally standing tickets that can actually be bought are on TM right now. 222 each including fees.
What a complete fiasco. Unbelievable.
Got tickets for my birthday which is great. Dublin will be great that weekend
If you heard two lads playing like this in Musicmaker on a Saturday, you'd feel compelled to leave.
If you fucking paid three figures to hear it... ah jaysus

Pull The Plug indeed!
Kirks butchery continues! Me made a balls of Waiting Room by Fugazi last week. 😂
They need to drop that awful Kirk and Rob jam session.If Lars and Hetfield need a fag/wank break that much they should just stick on a video of Cliff Burton doing Anastesia.The spot the 2 of them did at the Slane gig was embarassing.
That was shit but at least we got to look at his bum for a few minutes.
Not sure why anyone wants to see 'Pantera 50% proof' anyway. Dime and Vinnie RIP.
Metallica are clearly the better reason to go but what is with all this with Hetfield sitting down on a chair in front of the crowd before the gig. Go to the backstage area like you were before!
Yeah he'd wanna have a word with himself

Memoires are all that's left behind, as I lay in wait to die... (after hearing that shite).
Saw a video on YouTube last week from a lad who did the 3k VIP thing. Seems like a rip off for the price. Hetfield doesn't even do the meet and greet. You only get to meet 2 of the remaining 3. The best thing about it is the spot you get on the inside of the stage. Even at that the lad doing the review said you'd have to skip out on some of the vip stuff to get a decent spot in the snake pit.

For a band of their wealth and stature what kind of pisstake bollocks is it to charge 3k for that? Completely outpricing the vast majority of die hard fans who helped to get them where they are today...disgusting
I guess if people are willing to pay it; 3k is fuck all to some rich cunts.
Id say the band members just go along with what management suggest, it's a business with 35 years now with bands of Metallicas status.
Remember the pricks that paid 5k to spend night at Dave Mustains ranch!.Sitting around a camp fire listening to Mustain talking scutter!
Hetfield the fucker still pockets his cut for not going to the meet and greets! He's aged into a highly unlikeable cunt.
He's a cold-hearted Papa who doesn't truly love his family-ah!
If he wasn't dead, they could, and probably would, have sold "Counselling with Phil Towle" level tickets where you get to talk through the feeling of fatherly abandonment after the crushing disappointment and sense of rejection at the Meet & Greet experience. Dave Mustaine would play The Unforgiven in the corner, his tears hitting the acoustic guitar providing the rhythm.

I even remember Hetfield was on Joe Rogan a few years ago. When I saw he was on I was thinking this will be great old tour stories and that from the 80's and early 90's but no all he talked about was fucking bees.
Might be one for the controversial opinions thread but I've always thought Lars seemed the soundest.
Yeah he's fine that lad has done so much for metal and brought alot of attention to NWOBHM and all that atuff
I always liked Lars too. Hetfield is interesting in his own way. Hammett I find too much of a big girl's blouse to listen to.
Hetfields been in midlife crisis mode since The Black Album. Currently in "I'm a cowboy" mode.
You'd have a pint with Lars. The stories'd be class like!

I imagine hotels around the area are all booked up to fuck now. Any idea what the price for single tickets are and what number are left?
The best I could get for a hotel was 900 for the 3 nights between 3 lads.... IN TALLAGHT. :-X
Keep an eye on Air BnB, probably your best bet. That or LastMinute nearer the date.

Tallaght is unreal- Go to the Dragon Inn for a pint of Guinness the best in Ireland
Your half way home by the time you get to Tallaght
I was glancing at the M72 tour group on facebook. There are some crazy Americans who call each other "Metallica Family" paying insane money to go to these gigs. There are travel packages available but with it being Dublin the accommodation is probably a shared 12 bed dorm in Barnacles.

Not the same place but I was in The Dragon on George's Street back in the day and was genuinely shocked at the unreal pint of Guinness they had in there. I didn't see anyone in there drinking it other than myself either.
But yeah, a lovely straight pint. I probably shouldn't have said that to them either but I was just so surprised :laugh:
lets hope we get a few tunes from this one. ::) school band album art
Would never say no to a bit of Power Metal :D
