What about something like this

Volbeat
Black Star Riders
Judas Priest
Disturbed
Metallica

A few other bands could easily replace someone on that line-up

Swapped out Black Star Riders & Disturbed for Power Trip & Overkill.

Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators are also plotting European Tour dates for next year, after Slash wraps up his GN'R duties in late November.

PTH2009

I was going to say the Big 4 for Slane but Slayer are finished this year and Them and Anthrax are playing in Nov

Pearl Jam, as mentioned Slash and Co, Fleetwood Mac, Judas Priest, Bon Jovi are expected to play Europe in 2019

Of course there's lots of whispers of Garth Brooks coming again

Massive amount of gigs for me for the last 3 years and my bucket list has truly been emptied but I can always fill it back up

You'd think he could afford a few years off after the GnR tour!!

I don't think he's a guy who knows the concept of time off. If he's not touring, it's writing or recording an album, or something with films.

Honestly thought Slash and Co would fade away when Slash went back to GNR but I was wrong. They seem stronger than ever

Last time I saw them was in Vicar st in 2010 when they were only starting off. Hopefully ill see them next year. Great music

I think Slash would've wanted to keep it going regardless of him going back to Guns N' Roses. Thankfully when Guns wrap in November and Axl presumably swans off with AC/DC, it's full steam ahead for Slash ft. Myles & The Conspirators.

Overkill are here in March 2019 unlikely to be on tour cycle so soon after.

They have played twice since that night. Once in the Olympia (97 I believe) and the RDS indoors in 2008

It's actually three shows. The Olympia on the Adore Tour in May 1998 and on the Machina Tour in November 2000 and, as you say, the RDS in 2008. Plus Billy Corgan in the Ambassador in 2005 where the very brief burst of the Today intro got the biggest cheer of the night.

Crikey. Not sure how I missed those....

Anyway, fingers crossed they'll make it over during this "reunion" of sorts. I hear they're playing three hour shows...

Did they not play the Point in like 95/96?

Glastonbury has never been about the headliners though, it sells regardless. in order for Metallica to play slane, they would realistically need to shift 50,000+ tickets, which nobody not named Sheeran has been able to do here in a while.

Slane has an element of people who will go regardless of the line up which helps to bump sales.

If Metallica were announced for the Saturday of the June Bank Holiday (for example), with a solid undercard and if the weather gods were in favour in the week leading up to the gig, you'd definitely get 55,000 - 60,000.

Behemoth to play Vicar Street in Dublin next February, with support from At The Gates & Wolves In The Throne Room as supports.

They would need the likes of Korn, Slipknot etc. supporting to even think about selling out Slane.

They would also need a time machine to go back to when anyone cared about those bands.

Hardly, sure both of those bands played the 3 Arena in 2015 and pulled in 12k+ people...that added with Metallica would be attractive.

Obviously as mentioned above 1 or 2 more bands to seal it.

3Arena is a hell of a lot more convenient that Slane though, which is a big factor.

I've gone to a lot of concerts in the 3Arena (and Dublin in general) where I wouldn't even class myself as a big/die-hard fan of the band/artist playing.

Whereas with Slane, it would be to be someone I would be dying to see before I would even consider going.

Convenience is a big ticket-seller!

That's a fair point indeed.

I think ticket pricing will also play a factor - never mind the figure Metallica would be asking for, the other bands mentioned in this thread would also command a decent fee.

Yes, May 1996, but that was already mentioned. We were talking about shows they've played since that one. If we're being completist, they did also two shows in the SFX in August 1995.

Missed that bit. They'll likely have a euro tour next year if their two Euro shows this year go well. Setlists look great so would be interested if day/price is right.

so the jist of this article is that they talked about it but they didn't talk about it. I'll keep hoping anyway

No chance mate. I'll literally bet you 100 euro.

No joke.

Wrongway1985 wrote: »

Nope that they play the larger field.

I'll take that bet may as well be for a Metallica ticket.

3arena,Malahide,Marlay,Kilmainham,Iveagh Gardens you win.

Phoenix Park,RDS,Slane,Aviva,Croker I win?

Obvs they have to come summer 2019.

Won't know till at least September if they're coming at all.

Just there seems to be an upsurge in discussion lately and poster never responded after his talk of betting was up to be accepted he disappeared.

I am still here.

If Metallica end up playing Slane/Croke Park I'll pay out. I'd seriously be stunned if they think they'll shift the 80,000 tickets or so required to fill either of those two.Though the upsurge in talk is starting to make me doubt myself, but a lot of talk and wishful thinking does not make something necessarily so. They are a huge band, but I don't think they've the pulling power to play either of those two venues.

Anywhere else I think they could just about do it, though the Aviva could be stretch for them at fifty thousand.

PTH2009

Tbh the stones didn't sell out CP this year but they still went ahead with it and they got a good crowd and atmosphere there

Maybe there thinking Metallica might be the same and they will accept a quarter full venue ?

If Metallica play another outdoor venue here, I'm fcuking off to Europe to see them indoors, why fcuking bother with outdoor venues, they're just ****

I think the tour next year is all stadiums/outdoor.

It's clearly not worth their while playing indoor here, they'd have done it otherwise

Could AC/DC Finally make there Slane debut next year, there have been sightings of them in Vancouver in a studio and that includes Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd and they have recorded there recent albums there as well, could they be about to hit the road next year and finally make Henry Mountcharles dreams come true
I know we have this debate every few years but you never know
