All I really know by them is "Fear of the dark" but I think I'll give them a go anyway

P.S. I love pointing out that Dublin isn't in the UK

all i can say is..........






YEAAHHH!!!!!

Shamo

I've heard they put on brilliant concerts!

I just checked ticketmaster.ie and there's no mention of on-sale date for the tickets.
The Irish tickets will probably be released for sale later than UK then I guess.

did I not hear something about them burning a tricolour on stage years ago??

I heard the same about Paul Weller, who actually adressed it in an interview on his website. Sounds like another urban myth to me.

boycott I say

superconor

HOLY RELIGION!

Iron Maiden are the greatest band in the world.
i would gladly give my right testicle to see them!
no details on ticketmaster.co.uk though, or on thepoint.ie, however i am coinfident.......omg iron maiden!!!

Sarky

Someone's right testicle, anyway. Plenty of them about, no sense in wasting a good one...

aaa, good old maiden

They were the first gig I ever went to
back in 1990, blew me away and got me rockin.

I dont do much metal now but I gotta seem agian, they put on a mental show - real performers (and eddie)

This burning the flag is a load of paff.

Who and what it was was years ago Megadeath were doing a gig in the North and Dave Mustaine
opened his big arse mouth and voiceing his opinions bout the whole situation up there.
Needless to say his opinions were not grounded on knowlage and nither side of the divide liked it very much and Davey boy got the poo scared out of hime and I dont think they ever played there agian.

So now you know:)

Sarky

Tickets on sale the 16th. Ten days from now.:D

bandy

Tix already onsale on ticketbastard site - Never trust a ticketmaster onsale date!

Price 39.5-43.5

Sarky

Seems I can't trust the website either. Just have to reserve them over the phone or something. I swear, if I'm unable to go to this because of Ticketmaster screwing up the dates or the tickets, there will be blood.

--Kaiser--

Tell me about it, i bought tickets for download festival a few ago, and they never arrived.
I got my money back eventually, but i missed seeing Maiden and the Deftones, if it happens again i'm going to go on some sort ticketmaster employee genocide.
W@nkers

superconor

any idea whos doing support? or is it just going to be maiden?
the ticket says nothing about support just "iron maiden" but the Papa Roach ticket was the same and they had 2 support acts.
omg omg, imagin it was In Flames....or better yet : The Darkness!!!

so any ideas on support?

Sarky

Tbh I wouldn't care if I had to deal with an hour of Daniel O'Donnel to see Maiden live...

nesthead

heard a rumour that...wait for it.................Sonata Arctica are supporting!......couldnt be no way that would actually kill people with talent

Sarky

I'm off to Galway to buy my ticket(s) tomorrow morning.

Hopefully a small group of friends will be able to organise a minibus to Dublin.

/me is very excited:D

juno75

Sarky
