Opeth - playing Dublin

Ph3n0m

12th June - Dublin Ambassador - IRELAND
No word on ticket prices yet

But yay!

NIBBS

the date isn't completely finalised yet - but pretty much, as it's highly unlikely they'd be able to move their slot at Donnington to accomodate having this gig on the 10th......

looking forward to seeing who's supporting.....

also a huge thing for Dublin Metal Events, hopefully this draws a big crowd.......

Ph3n0m

aye - but the Ambassador...sheesh

psilocybe

Anyone know when tickets are going on sale?

Ph3n0m

well if there is no word on ticket prices - I think its a safe bet that ticket release date hasnt been set at all

Oral Slang

Padge, you've just made my day!

NIBBS

it's still not 100%.......so hold the auld horses there......

Ph3n0m

aye DME hasnt confirmed it - although opeth.com does have the date listed

bounty_hunter

Why do all the decent metal bands coming over here keep playing the fecking Ambassador?*


*Alright, "a lot" of the "decent" (respective to personal opinion) metal bands who've been here recently/are coming soon. For those of you who might be inclined to start an argument over something like that.

NIBBS

I'll post the details here when they are up on MetalIreland, unless they are already here.....

Because other medium venues won't have a metal crowd for fear of damage.

So I guess I was dreaming when I saw Obituary in the music centre and Rollins Band in Vicar St?


Granted that Rollins band was a few years ago

Ph3n0m

Speaking of Obituary you do know they are playing again

It wasn't me!

I can't wait!!!!! *explodes in glee*

this is NOT confirmed yet, DME are trying to get them over the 10th, failing that the 12th is looking likely. but its still in the early stages, the OPETH webmaster apparently jumped the gun a little bit by announcing those dates when they're not 100% confirmed yet.

as always check the official DME site or Metalireland for more upto date info...

NIBBS

like I already said.......:D

I think I'm going to have to pass on them this time. Going to Tool in Paris and possibly the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham so need to save my pennies.

I hope its the 10th cause Saturday is much handier for me but yeah, great news!

NIBBS

pretty much guaranteed they won't be playing the 10th - it's very unlikely they'll be able to change their slot in Donnington to play here ???

Steoob

OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM i cant wait this is gonna be class

Dermo

woooooo!!!!
this has made my day!!
and there's a group of 11 of us heading over to nova rock on the 13th where we'll see Opeth again!!!

joenailface

best news ive EVER heard....thats going to be another great weekend

merlinsmerryman

OH MY GOD!!!!:eek: I cannt believe it best news I've heard in ages. Metallica on the Sunday and Opeth on the Monday. FCUK YEAH!!!

NIBBS

Now confirmed for the 12th, in Vicar St.....
excellent, much prefer Vicar St to the Ambassador....

Ph3n0m

OPETH
Plus Guests

Vicar St., Dublin
Monday 12th June 2006
Tickets €30

Also this is an All Ages gig. Beers will still be served in the bar area, just not allowed into the stage area. So you can still have a beer before and between bands etc......

NIBBS

that's a great idea, much better than the hamfisted way it's done in the Ambassador.....

*Tripper*

Vicar Street, thats pretty cool. Dam you leaving Cert.

Are tickets available through soundcellar or ticketmaster?

evad_lhorg

when are tickets on sale?

Zapp Brannigan

F*cking Leaving Cert....

Oh god damn it!!

John

Nice to see it's not an mcd gig, I was afraid now that Opeth had gotten "big" that they'd go over to the darkside. Vicar St eh? Just over four years ago I saw them in the Shelter. Who would have thought they'd end up moving up in the world and playing next door? As much as I love them I never thought they'd ever be more than an underground band.

thats what signing to roadrunner does to ya!

this'll be the biggest gig DME has promoted yet, i'd be shocked if it didnt sell out tbh...

should be exciting!!

honru

The Ambassador seemed a little odd at first as MCD own it, and DME were apperantly the ones working behind the scenes. I reckon MCD charge outside promoters a hefty sum to rent out the place.

Vicar Street is a lovely switch though, surprising as very few metal bands get booked there. Looking forward to this.

It wasn't me!

as am I. Fabulous venue to see them in.

mp3guy

Well, got my tickets ordered, they're available on www.tickets.ie now.

I think the all ages thing has a lot to do with the venue choice, it makes sense as it's a big move for DME to put on a gig this size, and with the added bonus of the kids being able to get in it should be great......I really hope it sells out, but not too quickly - I'm a bit strapped, have so many gigs to go to....

Tickets ordered.

Going to be seeing Opeth at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. Alright. Cannot wait.

John

So how will Opeth live number three live up to the previous gigs?

Prezatch

Admitedly I hadn't even heard of Opeth the last time they played here. What were the performances like? Did they play a broad range of stuff?

John

It was mainly stuff from Blackwater Park and Deliverance with the odd older track thrown in. The first time was a bigger mix of things as far as I remember. Both were great though. Really great.

Today on tickets.ie
Just got mine. I dont understand booking fee and transaction fee though.
Two fees going to the site for selling them and a third for posting them out.

My first time seeing Opeth live so should be good.

Edit - bit slow there

Steoob

support?

BleakestH

Ordered tickets today...Haven't seen them since the Whelan's gig in 2003, this is gonna be epic!

herobear

i have my ticket in my hands as i write, run down to sentinel and save yourself the booking/posting fees
