Sepultura *Final European Show* 3arena, August 9th 2026

[Bürggermeister]

It's only my third time there since it stopped being the Point Depot but I'd say there were more people there than the Priest Feast, whenever that was. They're still an underground band, in my mind, particularly since the split and maybe I'm the only one who thinks that, but I thought they were fucking nuts booking that place 😂

They pulled it off, though. Fair fucking play, I say.

Priest Feast my man was 2009 and there were more at that for sure. Priest, Megadeth and Testament. Bit more pulling power there.

Plenty of elbow room at that, I remember. Either way, a band  like Sepultura that pulling that kind of crowd to that venue is an achievement.

I thought the Olympia was a stretch for them on the first retirement gig. I was fearful that they'd be playing to a well empty 3 Arena for this last show. It was amazing to see a band of their scale pull a crowd like they did.

Back in the 90s, the Point was the place for the Metallicas and AC/DCs when they were on form. Now these bands are shite and they can manage the Aviva, Slane and Croke Park! Perhaps I've underestimated these bands popularity or perhaps there is a legitimate move that attracts people to an "event" as opposed to a concert as a music fan only.

It's mad to think that below the Sepultura level tier that bands can barely afford to hit Ireland anymore,let alone a decent sized venue.

Priest Feast was a pretty low turnout from what I remember, most of seated was blacked out and you could pretty much wander around standing without it getting hectic.
