Title: INSOMNIUM - Whelans, Dublin - 22nd Jan 2020
Post by: H on October 14, 2019, 11:59:33 AM
Finland's melodic metal masters Insomnium will bring their 'Tour Like A Grave' trek to Whelan's, Dublin on January 22nd 2020. Tickets on sale 16th October @ 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie & outlets nationwide, www.tickets.ie, WAV tickets & Sound Cellar.

Says Insomnium front man Niilo Sevänen, "We are very excited to return to UK and Ireland in January! There is a special relationship between Insomnium and these misty islands. Our first label was Candlelight, and when we first started touring outside Finland in 2005 and 2006 it was in UK where we began. Now it's also been a while since we last visited Ireland or Scotland, so we are really looking forward to play over there. Going to be cool!"

Just bought a ticket for Limerick.  Insomnium's new album is good. The song '' Valediction'' is worth listening to.

Great news, phenomenal band. They played at Fibber's a while back and the gig was criminally undersold.

Really enjoyed this gig in Limerick. Almost a full house too. Great musicians these lads and their attitude is infectious.

Went to the Manchester date on that tour, think it was about 12 quid or something daft for the ticket. Didn't really rate Insomnium and wasn't keen last week either, Conjurer were worth the ticket alone.

Jesus I had to look that up - I was at that gig (it was fuckin great) but have spent all these years thinking it was Keep of Kalessin that opened for them, not once did I realise it was Insomnium!  They must have replaced KOK after the tickets went up originally.  Only saw half of them anyway.  Anyone else remember the lad from 1349 setting his face on fire?

Was at the Limerick leg of this current tour, it was great, very busy.  Excellent sound too.  Conjurer were more my speed for it, fucking anguish and heft, top class stuff.  Enjoyed Insomnium too.

I actually cant remember 1349 playing that gig!,was a big Zyklon fan back in the early 2000s so was well chuffed to finally catch them live.
Imo Enslved were at their peak in the early/mid 2000s,still rank that gig in my top 3/4 all time favourites.
