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

[blessed1]

Imrama announced that "due to recent events" or something such vague they are pulling out of the festival. 

They were kicked off because someone made a joke about lights

FUCKING WHAT?!!

\

To be fair, this is the same band whose frontman slit his wrist on stage at a gig in Fibbers and was subsequently kicked out of the venue, so...

What a spastic.

Did he get dragged off stage there and then?

[Eoin McLove]

With every band that leaves or gets booted off this imaginary festival,  the better the line-up gets.

[Paul keohane]

Did anyone actually go to this last year? (If it actually happened)

[Eoin McLove]

I didn't,  but if he manages to get rid of every band he's announced so far I'll consider going next year.

[Zombie Goat Fetish]

I am going to put on a festival and kick way more bands off than him. That will show em.

You would hope he at least got a few thumps for being such a tool anyhow.

Not 100pc sure of the exact details - I think it was towards the end of his set and once they were done, the bouncer was straight over to him. This is what the Overdrive review said:

"Things take a bit of a bizarre turn, however, when O'Connor takes a knife that he had hidden on him on stage and decides to open his arm with the blade. He then licks the blood oozing from his wound and spits it into the crowd. Unorthodox approaches in metal and rock are encouraged, as it helps you to stand out, but self-mutilation is absolutely not.

That's not 'metal' in any form in the 21st Century, especially when the blood is also in the microphone, and somebody else has to use it after you're finished with it. After this episode, he is then escorted from the venue by security. This was a very odd end to their incredibly novel and seriously heavy setlist and left a lot of scratching heads as to why he thought this type of behaviour was acceptable."

Didn't Mayhem throw some bacon and cabbage into the audience once or something.

I'm confused...

Wasn't he saying a while back that this was sold out.

The more bands that drop out, the more people we can put up on the mountain, brother.

[Juggz]

The absence of any practical information on the ticket site is very impressive.

€70

Only the like minded true metal fans are worthy of the privilege of knowing the location. The price seems to have went up also 

[Carnage]

I actually hope this goes ahead, just to see how much of an omnishambles it turns out to be.
