Actually annoyed that this is in the academy, every other show on the tour is all seating in an old church, surely they could have used Christ Church cathedral or St Patrick's for this.

I know the Scottish show has been upgraded to the Ushers Hall. Didnt know that it was mostly seating/church style venues for the tour.

Take That will be touring Greatest Hits next year, sounds like global tour, Rod Stewart announced in Kilkenny in 2016 he would see us again in 3 years so would not put that beyond him as still adding dates in the US & talk of the infamous Garth Brooks finally coming back to Croke Park next May/June, he launches stadium tour this autumn in the US!

Maybe for the Dublin gig you have to go through ticketbasterd but for the Belfast gig you can buy directly from the Ulster Hall.

Except that Ulster Hall used to be a £1.50 transaction fee, which is now £2.50. An additional £1.50 to post tickets.

At least it goes to Belfast council .... I guess ....

I would rather pay a fiver to the Ulster Hall than less to ticketbasterd. And in any case there was a problem with my card so I called the ticket office and they put the order through for me there and cancelled the CC charge so I'm happy enough.

(also full disclosure I work for the council so really I'm only paying my own wages

)

My Money is on Metallica for Slane. Fact that they touring next year and Mountcharles said an act headlining that hasn’t played there before.

MCD Facebook page shared a video of James hetfield from Metallica. He was just answering random questions but the fact MCD are sharing it would suggest they are coming to Ireland next year

Don’t think it will be but nobody ever thought Metallica would headline Glastonbury

Rigor Mortis · 31-07-2018 8:30am

If it is Slane there is going to be a hell of an undercard.

Glastonbury has never been about the headliners though, it sells regardless. in order for Metallica to play slane, they would realistically need to shift 50,000+ tickets, which nobody not named Sheeran has been able to do here in a while.

Guns n Roses did, but yeah I don't think Metallica would.

hope its not Slane but Metallica do have mainstream attention and will attract and its been 10 years believe it or not since they played Ireland

Obv a few will only be there for the piss up and Enter Sandman but thats the same for all bandwagon irish concerts

Mountcharles prob doesnt really care anymore who plays and might see Metallica as that ACDC gig he never got to have.

Aviva or RDS for me but we just have to wait and see. The Show in glasgow last October was amazing

The Nal · 31-07-2018 10:29am

I hope no band I like ever plays Slane again. Slane is a relic of the 1980s that should've been aborted decades ago.

Well up for a Metallica gig though. Marley last time out was great.

mrk75 · 31-07-2018 10:30am

Fingers crossed for Smashing Pumpkins. One of only a few left on my bucket list. But not sure they've played Ireland since the time that young girl so sadly died at one of their gigs some years ago.

They have played twice since that night. Once in the Olympia (97 I believe) and the RDS indoors in 2008

Furious-Red · 31-07-2018 10:43am

No way Metallica would be in Slane , Even though they havent played here in nearly 10 years i still dont think there would be an extra appeal to sell 60,000 + tickets for Slane.

Id say either a 3Arena date or Malahide/RDS

I listened to their latest single recently and Jesus Christ but Billy Corgan cannot sing anymore.

Heard that helped yeah. Id just rather go abroad and see them in a decent venue.

Regarding Metallica being big enough, with decent support acts they could do it easily. Their last album was number 1 here and number 1 in 57 countries. They're one of the biggest bands of all time and have sold the same amount of records as Springsteen. Despite releasing half as many albums.

Foos, Kaiser Chiefs and Hosier did it a couple of years ago. As did Bryan Adams and the Stereophonics.

MCD wont pay for decent support though ,when was the last time we got decent support at Slane or any major outdoor gig ?
Metallica are mad for money ,they would demand a big fee so there wouldnt be much left over for support .

Support acts are plopsies these days yeah. Still think they would get 70k with a couple of bog standard UK chug rock bands thrown in there.

More often than not, support is added to shift unsold tickets. Irish people tend to snap up tickets for the big outdoor shows right away so no need for adding good support.

From a purely business perspective, why pay for big acts to sub when there's no need?

I mean, it wouldn't have been my scene, but Taylor Swift had some very high profile support added after one of the dates sold slower than the other.

You could be damn sure that if Metallica were announced for a 50, 60, 70,000+ capacity gig and only sold 15,000 tix, there'd be some massive names added.

PCros · 31-07-2018 12:16pm

They would need the likes of Korn, Slipknot etc. supporting to even think about selling out Slane.
