DME on Twitter are good for posting stage times, I think The Academy (MCD) post them somewhere too. Other venues / promoters are hit & miss though.

Swallow The Sun

Tickets go on sale Monday, March 31, at 10 a.m.

Two-time Finnish Grammy-nominated metal icons Swallow the Sun have announced a headline show at Opium, Dublin, on December 13 as part of their Shining Over Britain & Ireland Tour.

Their UK and Ireland run includes two Irish dates, Belfast's Limelight 2 and Dublin's Opium.

Yeah looked a killer lineup - so much on at the minute - hard to get to everything. Did you catch beyond Creation? I was at their last gig here thought they were lethal.

yeah, saw all the bands, BC were very good and they had a good crowd in for it, I'll be checking them out. Vocalist is excellent

No Vocals? What happened?

Many at it?

Singer said he fucked up his voice so they just a whole instrumental set. A pity that one of the other singers couldn't have done a song or 2.

Yeah it was pretty full, don;t think it sold out but it was busy. Great value for 35 euro

It was shit that Cynic had no vocals, nothing they could do I suppose but I was bored out of my brain. The other 3 were really good, RoN particularly  sounded great

Doors 6pm
Daath 6.30
Beyond Creation 7.20
Cynic 8.10
Rivers Of Nihil 9.15

Great high, really enjoyed Goatwhore

Svalbard were great

A bit confusing, Grand Social says it is on there:

Eventbrite says it is in Lost Lane:

Either way, I just picked up tickets

Don't think I can make this which is a massive downer. If you haven't seen OP before DO NOT miss them, one of the best live bands I've seen in years

They were wild. I knew them casually from a few albums so I thought it would be mental and I was right. It was like being in space, then being in the ocean, then listening to the soundtrack of a mad man murdering someone. It was fucking intense lol.

I nearly had no energy for Solstafir after. I like them but they seemed boring in comparison, they also opened with a 6 or 7 minute instrumental which didn't exactly get everyone going. But whenthey got it right it was good. There was some really annoying audio glitch that kept popping up, it was like the sound booth/speakers was losing connection to everything on the stage for a split second. Never heard anything like that in all my years going to gigs...

A pity about the early start/finish. I guess they were using the room for a club night or something

saw them a while ago and was highly impressed, very good energy, I'll probably head along to this

skipped all the support bands, Cradle were pretty good I thought, lots of familiar songs in the set. Dani's low vocals were good, his highs had some production on them, I'm not sure what exactly was being done. The female singer had a good voice, added an extra dimension

Great line up, just got tickets.
Liked that Daath album from years ago then they took about a decade break. Good to see them back with new stuff
