No chance, they've already said it's going to be a stadium run, thats 40k +, it's Landsdowne or nothing.

They've already said they're only doing 50 shows max per year and in 2wk bursts, why would they come and play an 11k capacity venue here when they could play a 50k stadium in central europe.

Because they're decent people

The last couple of out door ones didn't do big numbers, they aren't a huge draw here. Slane, Aviva is fantasy stuff. They don't appeal to the mainstream like guns and roses or acdc.

Hope they come anyway it's like 10 years since I've seen them.

Marley was 2008

We were lucky in the 2000's with Dublin Metallica gigs in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009. If you throw in The Point gig in July 1999, that was six Metallica Dublin gigs in ten years! But none since then, so it's a case of feast and famine.

It would be great to see them back here again next summer... but I'm not holding my breath.

I was at all 5 of the 2000's gigs. It was burnout really at that stage.

Be chomping at the bit to see them back again though. I've promised my wife i'd bring her. There's nothing like a live Metallica show

Are we doing a sweepstake?

I'll put my €20 on Croke Park Summer 2019...

(Much easier than that trek at Slane too!)

Jayesdiem · 18-05-2018 03:53PM

I’ll eat my shoes if they come to Ireland this time. I just can’t see it, though wherever they do play, I’ll be there. There’s a song in that......

Not a chance they'll play either Croker or Slane. Metallica would never sell the 60k tickets it would take to make it viable for a promoter to even consider one of those venues.

Nobody should wish to see a band they like on croke Park. As someone mentioned in the stones thread the nearest you can sit to the stage is further than the back of the 3 arena and that will cost you 200 quid

RDS Arena would be an option but I think it's being redeveloped for the summer of 2019 ??

Wonder would they play PUC In Cork too ??

Id go with No Irish gig or Marley Park

Agreed. Such a bad venue.

Aye, a bad venue... but I'd take it over no Irish date on the 2019 European Summer Stadium tour.

Think after much dilly dallying, next time Metallica are touring Europe, probably just gonna hop over to London to see them.

Maybe try one of the Northern Cities if they play them (Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow), better bang for your buck than London

PTH2009 · 21-05-2018 01:39PM

Was lucky enough to see them on this tour already in Glasgow last Oct but be nice to see them next summer in Europe

yeah agree London can be an expensive spot, great city though

We could get an Aviva gig here, ACDC sold the plae out and it would actually get a decent crowd, next year will be 10 years since they played here and nothing beats a sunny summer day out with a major gig on and it might attract a few bandwagoners too. As you knw Metallicas management might have no interest in coming here cause it might not be profitable enough. We just have to wait and see and hoping we see Dublin on the list

I would love the Aviva. I have a contact that I can stay with on Newbridge Ave, just a 3 min walk away.

Better off getting a cheap flight and watching them in somewhere like Germany or Poland.

Greg81 · 22-05-2018 01:15PM

Manchester Arena. Awesome venue. Seen them last year there. It was my 3rd gig there (Korn and Green Day before). Great acoustics, reasonably priced accommodation and really cheap plane tickets to get there.

Wrongway1985 · 23-05-2018 03:52AM

If I was a promoter would be behind Metallica selling me a butt load of tickets tbh, I know people are quoting lack of numbers not sell outs but 25k practically bi-annually during the 00's and not here in 10 odd years defo hype...lads I know with families now who haven't bothered with gigs for donkeys would come out of the woodwork for it.

100%... regular visitor to London and had no ideas to attend last time but they were in the city at a time I was so felt I couldn't not go. O2 not as good and ya know yerself way more expensive. London is clearly a solid city but if it's gig specific odd days I would suggest looking elsewhere tbh.

Same. **** sound and ridiculous hassle getting to/from the venue.

The Phoenix park would be somewhat of an upgrade, at least you can walk into town.

Oh god no. Indoors for me
