How does it "more or less confirm an Irish gig" for you? They mightn't even come near Ireland....?

Where would they play?? The RDS is being re-developed, and so is The Point...? Where else could a Metallica gig be held.....?

Beekay · 19-02-2007 10:28PM

The thing that makes more of a chance of them coming here is that Austria is there only mid/eastern europe tour date.....where else can they go to have a proper euro mini tour?
France,Spain,Portugal,UK and here??

just narrows it down!

Also there are many other place....malahide castle,phoenix park,marlay park etc.

Faceman, RDS outdoor is being redeveloped and wont be open till August horseshow AFAIK. Slane is in August, Metallica will be gone by then

Must be perfectly fine to have concerts there though as both Justin Timberlake and Rod Stewart are playing there this summer.

On that note where did these RDS redeveloping rumours come from? Anyone have a source?

Can't remember where I heard it, but I definitely did hear that the place was being redeveloped.....?

And the Phoenix Park would be WAAAAAAAAAAY to big for Metallica. They would NOT sell enough tickets for that place, even with a couple of strong support bands.

I don't think we'll see 'em this year, maybe next year instead.....?

Beekay · 19-02-2007 11:22PM

well phoenix park was just a suggestion....just cause the point and the RDS are being redeveloped doesn't mean there would be nowhere for them to play.

I know it was a suggestion, but I don't think Metallica(as much as I like 'em)could draw that many people to one of their gigs....?

Not in Ireland anyway.......

Ardgillan anyone? REM played there a few years ago and no band have been announced yet.

Ah yes, I forgot about those two gigs. They are doing something with the RDS anyway, probably wont involve putting in a new stand. Sure thats why Leinster rugby team couldnt play there. If Metallica play here, I'd say Marley could be a good bet

NIBBS · 21-02-2007 01:25PM

I think they are putting a new stand into the RDS.......but it doesn't really matter what they are doing it's not going to be available,

don't Metallica always come over with Aiken ???

so with Aiken, I guess it could be Malahide Castle (not likely) or Nowlan Park in Killkenny (again not very likely.......but possible).....

NIBBS · 23-02-2007 01:09PM

was on the Aiken site earlier and saw the top story of that Timberlake chap doing outdoor arean in the RDS on July 1st - if this is the case there's no reason that Metallica couldn't play there the following week, with that being the week they are supposed to be in the UK ?????

evad_lhorg · 23-02-2007 02:40PM

Do we really needanother metallica gig? 4 times in 4 or 5 years??!! I thought 2 gigs was too much.

Beekay · 23-02-2007 03:09PM

More news......

After much speculating, well at least a half hours worth, and the rumor mill working overtime, we (especially the drummer) are psyched to announce that we will make our 2007 "Sick of the Studio" tour of Scandinavia complete by finally confirming a show in Denmark. In our continued effort to spread as much love as possible to the rest of the country, we are happy to announce we are playing Aarhus, mother ****er, July 13th at Vestereng.

This will be the 212th show in Denmark, well maybe closer to the 16th, give or take, and needless to say, 'Tallica always look forward to a Danish visit and after Lars has put his relatives and friends on the guest list, we will release the few hundred remaining tickets to the public.

Stay tuned for more of February's theme "announce one show at a time just to be a pain in the ass."

Yeah, they could play there...again. Its just they re-developing there, and some on here, namely me, thought that it'd still be ongoing at that time of year. And if ya dont believe me about re-developing the RDS, read the first page of the Sports in todays Irish Times, says something bout floodlights going in there, so it is being re-developed.

NIBBS · 23-02-2007 08:13PM

totally with ya there Mushy, I was led to believe that it would be unavailable for the summer, and wouldn't be back until August at the earliest (and these things never run to time, maybe they scaled back the redev work.......

I'm not too fussed if they come again - unless they've a really good lineup with them.......

faceman · 23-02-2007 08:23PM

I dont want to get people on the horn unnecessarily as i cant find the link but my mate got a response from lars ulrich about a dublin gig and ulrich said yes. Ive asked me mate for the link.

robnubis · 24-02-2007 08:44PM

Well its being called their sick of the studio Scandinavian tour, but i would say on the trip home they'll play England and Dublin tbh.

Rented Mule · 06-03-2007 05:02PM

Lars: You know what? I know that it's difficult for the American fans. This year again we're going over to do a couple, two-three weeks in Europe, different countries than we were at than last year. I know that a couple of the American fans, rightfully so, are obviously moaning about why we spend so much time in Europe every summer, but I'm telling you, there's no better place to go on vacation in the month of June — throw on a few gigs and have some fun. But all our American fans out there must rest assured that there will be no end to the love coming everybody's way in the next couple of years with the new record and so on. And I'm sure in my heart that we'll do the "Puppets" thing again. If not, next year we'll do the "…And Justice for All" version of that. Who knows? The great thing about being in a band like is that obviously nobody tells us what to do, or there's no particular sort of formula or any of that crap that we have to follow. I would like to get into, and that's kind of what we're trying to do now with… We went to South Africa last year, we went to Japan, we played a couple of weeks in Europe, and like I said, this year we're doing three weeks… I'd like to get into more of a thing where it's not that you only tour on the back of your records and you have to promote your latest, quote, product and the singles and all that crap, you know what I mean?! Where it just becomes more like you go on tour when you want, you go into the studio and record when you want and everything doesn't become so segregated about "Here's a new record" and "Now here's 18 months of touring featuring 75 percent of that material" and all that kind of stuff.

Metallica have announced a gig at London's 90,000 seater stadium Wembley. This is part of their Sick of The Studio 2007 Tour. Although they claimed that Metallica would charter territories anew, on the 8th of July 2007 the Tallica will return to the United Kingdom.

How does this effect us ?

This could be the final announcement before an Irish gig is announced.

Alternatively it will oen up an option for Metallica lovers in Ireland to take in a gig across the water for relative in expense

Alter-Ego · 19-03-2007 04:25PM

I was hoping for "D is for....Dublin". Ah well. Going to see 'em in werchter anyway.

Seems quite possible now that there will be an irish gig.

Mossy Monk · 19-03-2007 05:06PM

i would be there only that i will be seeing Muse there the month before :mad: why does everything cost money

NIBBS · 21-03-2007 11:04PM

don't think there's going to be an Irish gig now, but you never know, could do the Phoenix Park I guess.........heard there'll be more than one Slane gig this year, Metallica in Slane would be interesting......with some decent support....
but for Wembley it's Trivium and Bullet for my Valentine so if they play here it would be the same, nothing new there.......

BossArky · 22-03-2007 10:32AM

Got 4 tickets for the Wembley gig yesterday morning. Looking forward to it.

LundiMardi · 22-03-2007 10:34AM

meh

NIBBS · 22-03-2007 12:49PM

standing now sold out apparently........

IamMetaldave · 22-03-2007 03:28PM

I'd say it'll be a super gig! Really tempted to go...

Trivium again. Sure they would support Boston United if it meant a gig. And they are quite good themselves, but im damn sick of seeing them support maiden, and metallica

Corruptedmorals · 22-03-2007 07:13PM

They play most years here, big deal.

Mental Mickey · 27-03-2007 08:49PM

Is there anyone here(with a disability) who is also goin to the Wembley gig?? I am trying to find somewhere to stay in London, but not having much success....:(

Cheers.

Motley Crue · 28-03-2007 11:44AM

I dont see a Metallica gig now, too late in the year, I think we just have to take this gig as being the only one to cater for both Irish and English fans

metallica summer tour.
