Good band, will be going to this

Got 2 standing tickets earlier, 86 euro all in which is less than what I expected for 3arena

Great news, their live videos look epic. Hopefully can get tickets

Wow! Ambitious. Saw them in Vicar St. Good gig but was there mainly for Accept as support. Have they become that popular? 

Festival headliner at Wacken, Hellfest etc, stadium act on the continent, arena sized act UK & elsewhere. They have really exploded the last 5-10 years (similar to Powerwolf's trajectory)

Amazing weekend. Delighted I went. Very easy to meet most bands at the stalls before or after their performances. Highlights were Vinterland, Old Man's Child, Totenwache, Emyn Muil, Gallowbraid and Vesperal. Bonus points for meeting Galder and Vinterland and getting plenty of hard to come by items signed. Hearing Welcome My Last Chapter in it's entirety live fulfilled a three decade old ambition. Not a hint of trouble all weekend and incredible venue. The fact that the early bird are sold out for next year says it all. Plenty of pre and post gig pints in the Lord Rosebery and B and B just over £100 for the three nights. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

thanks for the reply, am severely tempted to check it out next year

How was the festival?
Would you recommend going?

I see Emperor are headlining next year

Well, I had a great time, missed Noctem but the other 2 were great, crowd was in good form, merch was good. Only downside was the whole thing finished at 9.45, no idea why, were Whelans going to use that space for a club after? 

tomorrow night, looking forward to this

Eyehategod are coming to Ireland the week after Damnation. With Wormrot as support.
Might see 1 or 2 others pop over
