MCD presale on now:

Through The Ashes Of Empires is over two decades ago now 

If you click the link you can view it (if logged into YouTube and verified as an adult) it has embeds blocked as it is age restricted (the title probably has something to do with it ...)

Outside the puns tickets are on sale:

€26.38 all in seems OK

there's a fair buzz around Irish bands on the international stage at the moment.

This, and it's not new, was outside Rough Trade in Manhattan back in early 2025 and the poster of "essential 2024 albums" had Kneecap and Sprints on it (not pushed on the former, enjoy the latter)

The Bezerker, Gorerotted, Undeath and Ultha confirmed for the Night of Salvation (pre-festival gig on the Friday), probably already sold out, I'm skipping it.

Full lineup and day splits announced, close to sold out:

It was meant to be converted into Dublin's Central library so everything in there for over ten years was "just this once while we wait for stuff to get started"but that never happened

Button Factory hold what 600? Double that is Vicar St, The Olympia and The Ambassador

Though there is 100% a need for a 4,000 to 6,000 space in Dublin just not for Chat Pile

Think he said the new song was called Family Funeral(s?)

Show in Cork was a cracker, great crowd and amazing sound, my first gig in Cork in 18 years    will be back

I hope the support bands in Dublin enjoyed their sets and that the promoter thought it was a great idea for them to run over so SG had to cut their set short (and the sound for Adam's vocals was diabolical) 

Belfast is:
Doors - 19:00
Microtonal - 19:30
Adrenachromehearts - 20:30
Frayed Ends - 21:30
Stampin' Ground - 22:30

So that's me out, bus back to Dublin is 23:00, glad I saw before I got on my bus to Belfast

Might go to Jamie's show now ...

Thanks, will be at both those shows so good to know

Hopefully the Belfast show is done in time for the bus I booked back to Dublin

If anyone sees stage times for any/all shows throw them up here (I know they're unlikely to be available now)

Discharge play:

• 5 March - Ulster Sports Club Belfast [tix]
• 6 March - Lost Lane [tix]
