Gone a few times myself and I think it was 2 Capn Morgan and cokes for 7 quid... I won't hold my breath for such luxury this time around!

I saw Exodus/Testament in the National Stadium in 2020 and thought it was a great venue. The bar is in a separate room if I'm not mistaken, and it was 5 euro for a pint. Don't remember anything about cans

They used to have taps (even stocked O'Haras for a while) but it's now all cans and they have been known to close the bar at 20:00 at some gigs, not sure what the story is with this one though.

Anyone had any difficulties parking near the National Stadium. Have to drive  :-X

Buzzing for tonight, never got around to listening to FFAO but the setlists for the other bands look good and am pleased Killswitch are doing a full 90 minutes despite it being a stacked bill

Had a quick listen to Fit for an Autopsy, not for me. Decapitated setlist is absolute muck too so I'll probably only head in for the main two

Someone was telling me there's no barriers between the seats and standing so you can just wander down?

It's really just on street parking in and around the National Stadium - it's predominantly residential there you're just outside the city. You'll find a space I'm sure just be careful in respect to the parking rules - as there's routinely a wave of clamping's, some spaces are 24hr others have a 3hr limit but others are free after 7pm.  So you'll find a space no problem - just make sure you're not leaving yourself ripe for a clamping.

I've heard it's that way too if you have a ticket for the lower unreserved blocks, but I don't know if they stop you if the standing has sold out.

They 100% had security stopping people from wandering down at the two sold out hows I was at

Cheers boss, I can't handle another war with APCOA!

Really looking forward to tonight! Decent set too.

Will probably only catch Hatebreed out of the supports as I'm driving to Dublin but not too fussed.

At WASP they asked us if we were seated or standing and didn't check the tickets so we got a standing wristband. Could be worth chancing your luck if they ask
