They came on about 9:20 and finished at 11 they posted the setlist on instagram last night my advice is don't go home early,I had a 50 mile drive after the Belfast show but it was worth it

The Olympia is a ballache for heavy bands. The sound gets seriously muffled in the floor area especially. You can be lucky and find a sweet spot,
like I did, in the toilets the last time they played there.

Anyone got a spare for this? Completely forgot about it.

I'll be in town all day regardless, just in case anyone is around already and looking to offload one

Wow that was a great gig by Mastodon with some fantastic visuals!! Sleeping Giant sounded so amazing, especially compared to when they played The Point in '06. Buzzin.

Brilliant setlist, really good mix of eras. Thought Mastodon sounded great apart from the sound of a bag of cats being set on fire that passes for Brents live vocals.

Really enjoyed that. Of the 4 times I've seen Mastodon that has to be the best one. First 4 songs were amazing, then a bit after Capillarian Crest into I Am Ahab into Megalodon was great. Those new songs do nothing for me, especially Toe to Toes (that song is utter shite)
Bringing Scott Kelly out felt like when a football team brings on their best player while they're already winning 5-0. His voice is insane, and he sounded perfect. I also realised that almost all of my favourite Mastodon moments have him singing.

Really enjoyable show. Definately one of the best times I've seen them. Fantastic setlist all round, they seemed to forgoe a fair few of their singles in favor of playing a few deeper cuts which made things a little more unpredictable. Loved the visual stuff they had going on and the Scott Kelly section was one of the coolest things I've seen a band do! All in all top class stuff

Scott Kelly is a beast.

They get some flak for their inconsistency but they were pretty great, Brent didnt look like he wanted to be there but he looks like that at pretty much all their gigs I think.

Kvelertak were great but I was really impressed by Mutoid Man, Id love to see them do a headline show.

Really top night, up there with the best of times of seen them the Scott Kelly addition was really special. Sound was at least acceptable thankfully maybe not so much for supports who Mutoid Man were the better of Kvelertak third time seeing them must stop that decent like but never leave any lasting impression with me change of singer doesn't seem to have helped.
