Metal festivals are the best. Sound people, genuine mix of everyone from 7 to 70 and nobody going on about chakras or yokes. Just can't see it translating to Slane! Metallica are obviously huge and have not played Ireland in years so I wouldn't be worried about the size of the crowd, per say.

You won't have them coming into the call center on a Monday morning on a massive come down from having experienced some pseudo enlightenment after spending the weekend on something made in somebodies bathtub. This is coming from someone who has a preference for metal gigs but is more likely to be listening to Board of Canada on a Saturday night in, by the way.

We even had one fella tell us hotel prices at Slane were through the roof im those dates (they werent), but he's confirmed it too.

Even with the usual Slane bandwagon jumpers I don't see them doubling that and this getting close to 80k sell-out. could maybe do it if there's a varied support bill - I'm thinking a big mainstream act. Ghost/Shinedown/Slash and Myles Kennedy are just preaching to the converted, and aren't going to shift many extra tickets to people that wouldn't have gone in the first place.
