Iron Mountain Metal Festival - Leitrim - 1st-3rd May 2020

[John Kimble]

Does this guy not have family or friends around him to tell him to pull his head out of his hole.

Quite the opposite it seems, the amount of enabling going on in his Facebook page is staggering. What's even more bewildering are the bands buying into this. As I said before, I'm not in a band, never have been, so maybe I don't appreciate the lengths some will go for a bit of exposure, but are there really bands out there so desperate for a gig that they'll play something so completely doomed from the outset...which will no doubt put them out of pocket into the bargain.

[Eoin McLove]

They are probably just completely clueless to how inept/ how genius a pisstaker this man is.

I just went back and read up on the fest again!,fucking hell would you be taking that on if you suffered from anxiety etc?.Even the most astute promoters would struggle to make this fest work.The fuckin logistics!!
I actually feel stressed reading about it!

[Motörbastard]

He posted photos of the site to prove its happening. Looks like an Argos Catalogue tent in some boggers back garden

It's understandable how a band fresh onto the scene isn't going to have a clue which promoters are worth their time and which are not. Any band starting out is going to take whatever they can get.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Phil is being called a racist?

How much is he charging for this? Doesn't seem to be a mention of price anywhere

Think it's 60 quid for the privilege.
I've been to this place before and it is really hard to find and it's up a mountain in the complete arse end of nowhere. No way would I ever go again.
It's never going to go ahead anyhow.
Seen people saying he wanted people to post him payment lol

He went on some rant about being proud to be white and how foreigners don't integrate into our society ha.
I actually don't think he is genuinely racist. Just a pure dope.

[Trev]

€60?!

Wonder how many of these bands will be at the Siege for free a few weeks beforehand?

I'm seriously wondering is this the extent of the archery plans??

[Paul keohane]

Tempted to hit this just to see how things unfold!
