Slipknot - 3Arena - January 14th

DaveyDave · 22-08-2019 4:16pm #1

Didn't see a thread for this. Date announced for Slipknot's next tour. Behemoth supporting all dates.

Wonder how much they will be. Last time they were here was more expensive than usual metal gigs from what I remember.

Hopefully less than €70, they're all getting expensive these days.

Enjoyed it last time but wasn't a big fan of the previous album. New album seems good from what I've listened to so far.

And p1ssing that yoke Simon Cowell off in the process of its success. Happy days.

Pity they only managed to get behemoth from the us leg and not gojira, they’d have been an amazing opening act.

DepecheHead101 · 22-08-2019 5:27pm

They're fairly resurgent with this new line up, aren't they? Huge new album and live shows that are getting plaudits for their intensity. Saw them and Behemoth at Download a few weeks back, and I have no hesitation picking up a ticket come Friday.

Behemoth are excellent live. That rare breed of black metal journeymen who put in the years and are now doing arena shows. And they pissed off all the right people with their last gig in Limerick.

Last time Slipknot played here with Korn they kicked the hole off it as well. Mental Wednesday night crowd.

Good stuff!

Yeah for me Gojira much better than other two. Hopefully they'll be over on their own next year anyway. And the Behemoth gig in vicar St was too choreographed for me

Really enjoyed last slipknot gig here, must give the new album a listen

Who did they piss off?

Wasn't at it, the setting looked amazing!

MayoForSam · 22-08-2019 6:10pm

This big eejit.

Yeah it was class! I assume they'll have the same setup at Slipknot as they're a name support act and it's quite a simple setup for the most part (I.E. it was up in 20 minutes at Download during the band switchovers).

Lithium93_ · 22-08-2019 6:13pm

The gig next year will be exactly 5 years since they last played Dublin in January 2015.

Ha I meant the setting, the Castle!

I am not a fan and know nothing about their music,but their drummer Jay Weinberg is a familiar name to me.He is son of Max Weinberg,the famous drummer with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and played with Bruce and the band some years ago when Max was contracted on Conan O'Brien's TV show.

Chibs · 22-08-2019 7:16pm

Pre sale codes up on the 3plus app. Presale starts the 28th.

O’Brien maybe? ðŸ

Guessing this will sell very well? Will it sell out fast?

first saw these guys at dynamo festival in 2000 in holland..going again..new song is so catchy..unsainted

peekachoo · 22-08-2019 11:33pm

Tickets from €62 according to Ticketmaster. Not bad for both behemoth and Slipknot together imo.

I think London would be handier to go to as I live in the Ulster countryside as I previously mentioned which doesn't have good public transport links to the Pale. I do enjoy visiting London even though I am anti London rule, I try to stay in a different area every time I go, last time was Brixton,

Couldn’t think of a worse place to go see a gig tbh surely you could go somewhere else on the tour that’s infinitely cheeper.

I started going to Dynamo in 95 and missed my first one in 2000, that was when it went back to 1 day right and Maiden headlined?

Dynamo was the best festival experience i've ever been to, IMO it's the blueprint that the likes of Wacken/Hellfest followed.

May go over next year as it's back to being a 2 dayer.

So many crazy moments there, was something like 110k people watching Nailbomb on a Saturday afternoon in 95!!!

Funniest ever moment was in 99 i think, we were camping as normal and woke up around 10 am and had the bbq breakfast on. About 100 yards from us in the campsite was a bungee jump, these crazy germans carried there mate up to it, he was unconscoius from previous days shenanigans, they paid for him to go on plus a bit extra for the guy to throw water over him then chuck him off. The scream as he was falling was immense. Just couldn't do that shit
nowadays.

Walking into campsite and just tent after tent had signs ....'weed for sale'

Event t-shirts worked out the equivalent of 8quid (i was from wales)

Mad days indeed

If anyone has a presale code they do not want, I would take one also...

MayoForSam · 27-08-2019 10:04am

Thanks for the link, bagged 3. That's myself, the young fella and my brother's Christmas prezzie sorted.

Jurgen The German · 27-08-2019 10:25am

Picked up two, bringing my nephew as he is a huge fan, plus I've never seen em. Looking forward to it.

Tar.Aldarion · 27-08-2019 11:10am

standing presale sold out

COH · 27-08-2019 11:36am

If anyone has a presale code I will be forever in your debt if you could PM me!

EDIT: Sorted thanks

LandonRicketts · 27-08-2019 12:35pm

Completely mixed up the days for presale and saw that standing was all gone on the presale by the time I noticed. I assume there will still be a good chunk of standing available on general sale Friday?

100%

Standing could sell out, but I'd be surprised if it did straight away. Be online Friday morning and you'll be sorted.

Flaked on the new album yesterday. Found it so-so to be honest. First half is great - I like my Slipknot with poppy melodies, that's always been a part of them to me - but the second half blurred together and became Slipknot-by-the-numbers.

Never been an album band for me, anyway. It's also too bloody long. It clocks in at over an hour, like too many other albums nowadays. Slipknot should only need 40 minutes to put their point across.

PTH2009 · 27-08-2019 1:29pm

Ticket got
Bloody €81.15 and they try and make you buy one of those collectors tickets on top of that **** off TM

2015 was only €69.50

Testament1 · 27-08-2019 1:50pm

Ah what?! F*cking 3Plus app told me presale wasn't til tomorrow, standing gone already?!

Mine too, I only realised that it was today as someone posted in another forum that they had gotten a ticket.

I think that's what must have threw me off aswell. Had it in my head it was tomorrow too. Only when I came on here and saw standing presale was sold out

lucalux · 27-08-2019 2:58pm

I have a presale code for the gig if its any use to anyone, just PM

xpletiv · 27-08-2019 4:04pm

The allocated standing must have been pathetic for the presale. I was looking at 10.30 this morning. Nothing there.

boyznoise · 27-08-2019 4:08pm

Still plenty of standing left for album presale

peekachoo · 27-08-2019 4:26pm

3plus still won't even let me access presale yet through the app, still saying it's tomorrow.
Oh well, they should be handy enough to pick up Friday morn hopefully.

Good. It's still just a fancy mobile network advantage we don't all have access to. Most of those tickets belong to general release :P

kg703 · 27-08-2019 5:00pm

Have my two tickets, was at the one with Korn 5 years ago and it was mental.

Love Slipknot, mostly for the first two albums but they have the odd banger here and there throughout the rest.

Very excited so I am

I never noticed London being that expensive, I am able to get a hotel room at £50 whereas they are much more expensive in Dublin, I dislike going to Europe because of the language difference though I haven't been there since I was 11.

PTH2009 · 27-08-2019 6:21pm

Dublin/Ireland in general is ****ing frustrating with inflated hotel prices esp if somethings on

Sometimes it can be impossible for 1 person to go to a gig and stay overnight. if I want a few drinks I'd go up early have a few in pubs and then 1/2 at the gig and get the late bus home (Waterford have good bus services with Dublin thankfully)

Degag · 27-08-2019 6:28pm

Only sections M and K available to me. Is this likely to change for the presale?

May just wait for Friday.

The 2014 gig is still the most crazy moshpit I've ever been in!

You are generally correct but can get some decent deals if using the travel sites.

Plenty of hotels for less than €100 on the night they are playing in the general vicinity of the venue atm.

Typical ticketbastard, will be releasing the crap seats first to make sure they go and will release the better ones later

Hmm. They seem to be refreshing every so often though so may get lucky hopefully.
