Gotta laugh at people complaining about the hassle of going to Slane. If you live in the north west of the country, EVERYWHERE is a hassle to get to. Catch yerselves on.

Ive lived in sligo so shup you..
Its a hassle to get from slane to anywhere due to the traffic.

Successive government policies make you right.

Arrive early, leave late...no traffic. Camping is the way forward.

Can’t see this selling out

It won't be a sell out anyway. Too much hassle going to that place.

There’ll be loads of freebies around nearer the date

but enjoyed Queen in Marlay Park last July so might give it a go. Saves the hassle of flying and booking hotels in the UK/Europe. Should be a few Direct buses going from places

As venues they're a world apart. Queen was fairly mellow with plenty of space and relatively easy to get to and from. Slane is a pain in the hole.

Knowing Irish promoters, they'd put someone like f*&king Mundy on the bill.

Paddy Casey was unfortunate to be supporting Pearl Jam in the Point one year, and he knew it himself it was bizarre.

Selling out does not have to be the be all and end all of success. I would say 60k ish would be a successful number in all parties eyes.

Metallica are an awesome live band and serious nostalgia factor for me. But I wouldnt ever go to Slane again after G'n'R. Just a completely ridiculous set-up.

I'm probably as far away from it as you are, but it's a horrible place to get to comparing to Croke Park or the Aviva, etc.

I think they will sell out. I mean it may not be the instant 5 second tout rout that Ticketmaster supports (And, indeed, encourages). But I do think it will sell out: It's Metallica! Sure, Slane has lost some of its shine in the last few years what with the hassle of getting to/from there and the pretty shambolic nature of access and facilities and more and more venues being used but, for many, it's still "IT'S SLAAAANEEEE!!!!!!!!"

I think it's actually a great match. Metallica ned to be able to turn it up to 11 and where better?

Everywhere but Slane?

Whether or not it sells out is down to the support. Metallica's name alone won't sell it out.

Camping is the way to go for Slane, 10 mins walk to the venue.

piplip87 · 20-09-2018 9:31am

People will sit and moan about Slane. It's an iconic venue. Look at the past headliners and even look at the past support acts.

The toilet and bar facilities are a joke yes. Getting in and out is also a joke but by God the atmosphere, the view from the hill and the craic makes it worth it every time.If your travelling from Cork come up and stay in Louth, Meath, even parts of Cavan. Head to Slane early in the day and don't worry about getting out just stash a bag of cans for the bus home..

Getting there isn't the problem. Its once you're in. And leaving.

Genuinely the worst venue I've ever been to.

Camped for the last few slane gigs and it’s a much much better experience

CountingCrows · 20-09-2018 10:25am

Any idea what date the gig will be?

Always Be Closing · 20-09-2018 10:29am

Muse would be decent co headliners

2001 will always be the GOAT lineup

U2
Foo Fighters
Chili Peppers
Coldplay
Ash
JJ72
Moby

You've combined two concerts though. U2 had RHCP, Coldplay and JJ72 the first week. Ash and Moby played support the second week. Foo Fighter never actually played, think they pulled out last minute but I could be wrong on that - Ash replaced them maybe.

Moby played the 2nd U2 gig in 2001.

2003 was Pj Harvey, QOTSA, Foos and Chili Peppers.

They needed to bring out the big guns after the Nickelback, Revs, Charlatans, Stereophonics fiasco the previous year.

my big head was was on the ground now and again in the pits during queens, wow what a gig, apparently i had steam coming off me after it

Wildsurfer · 20-09-2018 11:38am

Ye have me reminiscing for the good old days lads, 2003 was savage. QOTSA were incredible. Just watched some of it on YouTube, the full Chilli peppers gig is on there, although I didn't find John doing 'I feel love' cover which was a highlight for me. I think Beck played the Point the night after where I blacked out for a few minutes... good times, good times.
