General Sale on Friday August 30th from 9:00am

Almost 5 years to the day since they played here with Korn

Can't afford ticket atm but might try and get closer to the date. Great lineup behemoth the new ghost (well not in music terms ha)

Hope the tickets are cheap

If you live in Ulster countryside it is easier to go to Glasgow on the Saturday to see Slipknot as you need to take 2 days off work to attend a Dublin concert, that is what I have to do to see Lacuna Coil.

I'm in Cork and thinking of going to London. Easier same price and on a Saturday also

The Nal · 22-08-2019 2:45pm

London for gigs. Yuck. Why would you go there when you could do Stuttgart, Stockholm or Oslo instead? All Friday/Saturday shows.

No flights from Cork unfortunately.

I'd love to go to Slipknot.

I'm probably a bit old for them.

What sort of a crowd will attend a Slipknot gig? Will it be very messy?

Maybe they'd have an auld lads section

Never ever too old for a Slipknot show or any band in general that's ridiculous!

A general mix of new and older fans, majority nice people like most heavy metal shows in Dublin...

If you get your knees down and jump for Spit it Out it's worth it!

You’d be grand. I’ve been at quite a few metal concerts and while you’ll definitely have your ‘stereotypes’ they are far and few between. Most people are very dead sound!

DarMul17 · 23-08-2019 11:53am

I'd say metal fans are among the best, super friendly, great nix, plus they understand the rules with moshing and wall of death. Black Sabbath in 2017 had a great mixed crowd.

lol just googled the wall of death... amazing!

The Nal · 23-08-2019 12:17pm

Metal crowds are the best crowds around. Knowledgeable, appreciative and generally speaking, betray the dark and mean tough look by being as meek as lambs really.

Arghus · 23-08-2019 4:09pm

Metal crowds are no problem.You'll always have a few ejits whenever a big group of people gather to listen to live music, but metal crowds are generally pretty cool. And respectful enough, most of the moshing and insanity goes on towards the front of a gig, you can easily avoid it if you have no interest. Slipknot should attract a fairly diverse crowd for a metal gig anyway.

Thrashssacre · 23-08-2019 8:01pm

That being said a slipknot crowd would attract the biggest percentage of gig **** I find the general etiquette of the crowd worse for slipknot then pretty much any other metal band out there but as said above keep towards the middle or back and you won't even notice.

I’m pretty sure some other genre’s would attract a worse crowd. Was it swedish house mafia a few years ago where a few people were stabbed?

Highly doubt you’d even come close to that at a slipknot concert (even though it’ll still be rowdy which to be fair is what you’re saying!)

Yeah meant it more in a metal specific sense.

Penfailed · 24-08-2019 10:58am

My hopefuls-

AC/DC for Slane
Pearl Jam

PTH2009 wrote: »

Can see Slane 2020 been announced sometime in the autumn with AC/DC been the headliners

Really hard to guess who will be touring next year. Rumours of Guns N Rose's, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Pearl Jam touring Europe in the summer of 2020. Paul McCartney maybe in Europe

Wishlist for 2020 for gigs here
Tool
Alter Bridge
Bruce Springsteen
Garth Brooks (although think that ship has sailed and hes happier touring stateside and making his millions there)
Pearl Jam

Won't have to worry about Alter Bridge anyways, they confirmed on their Twitter a while ago that they'll be in Dublin sometime in 2020.

Only worrying with them is upcoming album, stuff off it so far is bang average imo.

I think Take The Crown is the strongest of the 3 singles released from Walk The Sky.

Or maybe it's because they've worked with Michael Baskette on the boards since Blackbird - maybe a change of producer for the 7th album in 3/4 years time wouldn't do them and him any harm. He's also done the Tremonti records, and the last 2 Slash, Myles & The Conspirators albums, along with Myles's Year Of The Tiger solo album.

Wouldn't hurt either to break the new album every 3 years cycle they've going on since One Day Remains, take a page from Slipknot's book, and put AB on hiatus for an extended period of time.

TL;DR - New singles will probably be better in a live setting.

bodhrandude · 24-08-2019 6:26pm

Do you think Aphex Twin might do a standalone gig this time when he gigs Ireland again, what sort of venue would accommodate his type fan base in Dublin these days.

Aphex Twin apparently asks for crazy money these days so the chances of MCD or Aiken paying him would be slim...

3 Arena?! My mind is still blown they booked Bjork to be honest haha

I hope Aphex can do festivals at some stage in the next few years and can only see the likes of Picnic getting him. Forbidden Fruit of course as well.

dragonfly! · 27-08-2019 11:36am

I imagine Taylor Swift will be back to Ireland next year with the release of Lover
Having said that she didnt come here for her Red tour so who knows....

delbertgrady · 29-08-2019 2:44pm

Isobel Campbell plays the Empire Music Hall, Belfast, on January 31st and the Liberty Hall Theatre, Dublin, on February 1st.

phunkadelic · 02-09-2019 3:06pm

I'd say near zero chance, if not zero. Michael Stipe is doing a handful of solo appearances in New York but that's about it.

Cheers, following them on Spotify too.

Yeah it was a done deal 6 months ago apparently! Playing Glastonbury next year and I would assume a load of other festies. Great news.

The Nal · 07-09-2019 5:35pm

Seems the Irish promoters jumped the gun. Gig removed now.

Stillill42 · 07-09-2019 5:42pm

At the very least, it made me play 'I should Coco' from start to finish. I very much enjoyed that.

Shybride2016 · 08-09-2019 7:15pm

Queen manager apparently said they’d be touring Europe next year. Fingers crossed they’ll come back to Ireland.

He murders most of the songs.
