Yeah and there's some scandanavian metal band on the day too, I would assume there'll be atleast two more bands announced, how "big" those bands are will probably give us an idea to how ticket sales are going.

Just saw slipknot are touring with them in Australia and New Zealand and are releasing a new record themselves, big pull that.

I would be the happiest person in the world but it’s unlikely

Not just unlikely its impossible playing in Finland that night.

Finland the night before?
They’re at rock am ring that night, which is a problem in general with getting acts
ROck am has so many taken already

The average Metallica fan couldn’t name an Irish rock or metal act beyond u2 so I don’t think that’ll matter too much. it’s more a question or how much they’ll cost the promoters

dont even know who metallica are, but im still going

Metalitia :P

I see Thin Lizzy are doing a few shows in Europe and they are an 'Irish band' (well not so much nowadays)

Could they be added too the slane bill ?

Only going to see Metallica, bringing the weeman so he'll have seen the Big Four.
Ghost are god awful
Fingers crossed for decent support to be added

Is it me or MCD that's out of touch seeing as therapy are my most obvious choice for Slane and mcd aren't even considering them?

It is getting more and more difficult to see anyone of note getting added it seems, I fear the may just throw in a local band and call it a day at this point. Guns and roses only had 3 act initially then and a band from around the corner added as a token irish act.

They’re really hamstrung for Slane by the fact that Rock Am Ring is the same weekend, and had probably got a lot/all of the bigger acts MCD would have any relationship with!

Also Ghost are quite a big support act and aren’t coming cheap..
One of the biggest alternative bands touring st the moment(people might not love them, but they’re huge!)

Ruling out ‘therapy?’ is a really weird decision..

We’ll probably have Primordial added in all honestly..

I always think of this madness when I hear of people expecting suited/similar acts.

2004
Paul Oakenfold
Iggy Pop and the Stooges
Madonna (headliner)

Ah every time I see a new post I'm always hoping it's a confirmation of new bands on the lineup

It may not happen, so....
