Not a bad day out, wouldn't mind hitting one but it'll depend on the price and indeed flying that time of year will be spicy enough.

Should have been a Dublin date, would have sold out Malahide or something stupid. Far cry from the academy 10 years ago.

Yeah a Dublin Date would've done well alright especially with that lineup

Those Academy shows were designed to mop up cash. They were no frills - no support and multiple nights, limelight too.

Did the 3 Arena sell out the last time they played? I doubt they'd sell out Malahide Castle, even with all the shite support bands.

3 Arena was close enough, maybe not sold out but fairly close I heard 12K I think.

There's a few days between the two shows, which seems slightly odd to me

I don't think it is, they do the first one, few days off do the sabbath thing, few days off then the other date. They'll mop it up big time.

I still remember the boyo who was butt naked in the pit in Cork.

I had not clocked this was the weekend of the Sabbath show, 100% makes sense, have decent little trek around the UK if someone was so inclined (I am not  ;D )

Had a look at the presale there, fuckin 125 euro for standing for London. That's not including TMs wanky fees so put another 5 to 10 euro on.

pure rip off

In fairness, that's a lot of bands. If it was just Slayer and Anthrax, it would be a rip off.

If it was on here I'd probably go for the day out but it is kinda crazy money. Double what they charged for their last gig here and we got decent support.

Don't think I'd travel to see that line up and sure you know what 5 songs Anthrax are going to play anyway.

Hopefully they'll be back and have a 3Arena date.Think those 2 dates and the Sabbath thing are their only European dates in 2025.

Would love a standalone Mastodon date. They've not played here since 2019.
