Diamond Head are back! As if out of the sun, they are about to sweep down and tour Ireland in July. Take the opportunity to join them on their world tour which will promote their latest album 'What's in Your Head?' Diamond Head, an original of the new wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), are back to reclaim their rightful place at the pinnacle of rock music.

This summer's Diamond Head tour will take place in six venues across Ireland, in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Kilkenny and Belfast, three of which are rarely used for rock concerts. Whilst the shows will be rock concerts, the emphasis will be on heavier rock and aspects of the Metallica-type metal genre.

Friday, 20th July Ballykeefe Amphitheatre, Kilmanagh, Co. Klkenny
Saturday, 21st July Half Moon Theatre, Cork
Sunday, 22nd July King John’s Castle, Limerick
Monday, 23rd July The Warwick, Salthill, Galway
Tuesday, 24th July The Mansion House, Dublin 2
Wednesday, 25th July The Rosetta Bar, Belfast (B&B promotions)

It’s thirty years this year since Diamond Head were formed in the West Midlands of England by guitarist Brian Tatler. However over the past few years, a new creative energy has emerged in the young Diamond Head line up, which will tour Ireland. The new line up includes Brian Tatler (Guitar), Nick Tart (vocals), Karl Wilcox (drums), Eddie Moohan (Bass) and Abbz (rhythm guitar). In 2005 Diamond Head played support to Megadeth on their Irish tour. However, on this occasion Diamond Head will headline this summer’s tour.

I saw these guys at Megadeth about 2 years ago. it wasn't the best tbh. At the time I was fairly into them, but they just don't have a stage presence that would make you want to go see them again. In their defence they were the support act and therefore the sound for them was shíte, but still, not the best band I've ever seen

Fucking awesome!

I agree with a previous poster that they didn't exactly set the world alight when they supported Megadeth a couple of years ago (the new material was very, very weak), but still, it's a genuine classic rock band - IN LIMERICK!

And we also get Joe Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult!

I think I need a lie down....:D

I saw the X Brothers in New York a few weeks ago. They were playing a free gig in aid of some charity and they were **** hot!! I think their bass player was with Alice Cooper through most of the 70's. They're well worth checking out. Best version of Don't fear the Reaper I ever heard
