Great night again. Can't understand why they're not bigger.

Was thinking of heading up and buying a ticket at the door. Saw Massacre with Morgoth and Immolation in the early 90s and enjoyed them. Have never seen Benediction so figured it's a night out. But yeah they are 2nd tier and the less than glowing reviews have me thinking I'd be better off with my feet up in front of the stove.

I didn't realise they were going to play the third album in its entirety. Hearing Anarchy in the UK was a treat. Megadeth never seems to play it, either because it's not in their setlist in general or they're worried about a repeat of the 80s incident in Antrim.

They dropped it as Mustaine won't sing the I am an Antichrist line since he found God a while back.

Idles set was ridiculously short- I thought they'd at least get an hour seeing they usually draw a crowd here.

Good night overall. Deftones were better than I thought they'd be. I'm wrecked this morning.

Just checked out a couple of songs from the support bands. I might have been unlucky with the songs but jaysus is all of Idles stuff that bad? I may relax heading in

Idles are great live. Think this is my 4th time seeing them and that's more times then I've listened to their albums. Just works better in a live environment. Deftones are likely to be pretty pedestrian in comparison.

What time are you hitting the stage this evening?

Yeah the background AI was awful and really distracting. Added nothing- a complete negative to the show. They'd have been better off just alternating between a logo, the band, the crowd. Turnstile had a camera above the pit which they played on the screen- that was cool. More bands should do it.
Enjoyed the night though. By the time I got there most of the merch was gone - looks like it was very expensive - at least what was left anyway.

Anyone know why they cut it short?

They heard Luke Combs was finishing his set with a cover of 5 Year Plan and wanted to get to Slane to see it.

I'm on a boat on the Shannon and figure they'll be back sooner than we get a run of good weather like this again so I'm going to skip it. Free ticket for anyone that wants it.

How about D.R.I.
I'm expecting it to be a big pit all night. Only issue is they've moved it from Whelan's to Opium.

Fantastic weekend. Town felt like being at an Ireland away match. Really nice atmosphere about the place. Both nights were great and night 1 left me buzzing for night 2. Standing tickets for 121 for 2 nights- an absolute bargain given today's prices. Went to both nights with my daughter. When we arrived on night 2 she told me as a Father's Day gift she'd managed to get us snake pit passes through a friend of hers. Entered the pit while Gojira were playing Stranded walking in under the drummer. Doesn't get much better than that. I'd love to play it cool and by cynical about it but the pit was absolutely fantastic!
It could easily be the last (or 2nd last) time we get them here. Hard to see it being topped.

Was a great gig. The place was nuts the entire show but a real friendly vibe.

Was the complete opposite for High vis. A couple of fights broke out beside me. Gobshites throwing fists and elbows all around.

Gurriers were definitely worth getting their on time to see as well.

Standing resales for €46 now. Wonder how low they'll get just before kick off.

Obituary were fantastic! Didn't see any of the others but Obituary... brilliant!

Fucked my back - free ticket for tonight if anyone wants it.
