Metallica aviva June 2026

Excellent gig. Seated in 324, crowd were excellent I thought. Kids loved it, youngest only 9.

Roll on Sunday.

Really feels odd not hearing 'One' or 'Enter Sandman' but ye lucky baxtards will hear it Sunday

What time did they finish at?

No encore, played straight through. I really enjoyed it. Sound was terrible. I had no idea what Pantera were playing, all I could hear were Zakk's guitar squeals every two seconds. Was in Block 303.

Was a little better for Metallica, but still just a mush of sound of a lot of it.

First half, I get what they do to pace it and where they drop in new songs; I quite like the two new ones they played, but two Death Magnetic songs in a row could've been rethought. Loved hearing Harvester. It kicked into gear with Orion which was great and then it didn't really let up from there. Last half hour was amazing. When Lars held the band for an extended pause after Seek and Destroy and then they kicked into Puppets, that was a really great moment.

I liked the in the round purely because it got the band playing close to each other, instead of spread out over a massive wide stage. I like seeing musicians interact that way.

Three from Master of Puppets you mean. Only one from Justice.

I've have liked a song from St Anger; Frantic or Some kind of Monster. But I guess those songs are quite long (and they probably figured no one wants to hear them). If they'd played Helpless I'd have been in heaven. :)

Anyone know if that Phil Lynott poster will be sold online? I see it on some 'stores' but they look sketchy as

Went to the convention centre this morning and managed to get the Irish tshirt, so happy out

Great gig, we were in the middle of the pitch just were they walk out the tunnel. Very easy to go straight up to the barrier. The mic was right in front of us, had loads of kirk solos and Hetfield singing within touching distance.

Sound was absolute garbage though had to keep asking the lads what song they were playing.

We mainly hung back a bit and the sound was fantastic all night.

Just depends were you were i think. all the speakers on the towers were behind you if you were standing close to the stage. They had a few floaters in between but anyone i know that was seating said the sound was grand.

Actually did anyone notice that some of the camera shots at points were totally bizarre? At one point we got a shot of the black backdrop in the tiny stand for about 5 seconds, others focusing on the floor of the stage etc. Was like one cameraman was pissed or something!

I enjoyed the gig, but the sound issues were noticeable and I was sitting in Block 325 which is one of the lower blocks on west stand. Great view and really comfortable part of the stadium to be in.

The sound was very poor for Pantera which was disappointing. It did seem to improve from Walk onwards. From the start of Metallica's set I found it poor too, but improved greatly after Kirk & Rob's jam. From TDTNC onwards I found no issues with the sound.

I found the stage set up to be great and really enjoyable though I'd a really good overview of the stage. Lars' drumkits emerging from the stage was excellent to see.

Overall, despite some sound issues for some portions of the set, it was a good show.

Sound was good where I was I aimed for the dip in the stage l, thought they handled the in the round well each "corner" got a set of songs,

I think the sound for the support acts was fucked at times because with the heavy rain they hadn't a proper opportunity to set everything up avatar anyway I could see that was a huge issue,

I actually thought the downpour of rain added to Pantera set

Just crawling out of my cave after that - what an incredible night. Sound was fantastic where we were on the pitch. I think hanging a little further back for this stage set up is better tbh.

Also have to say that I have never experienced a gig with such ease of effort to get a drink or go to the loo. Literally zero queues all night I couldnt believe it!

Cant feckin wait for tomorrow now 🤘
