Opeth announce Dublin date for October

Cathy666 · 31-07-2009 3:24pm #1

Swedish metal titans OPETH have announced a Dublin date at The Olympia Theatre this October 13th as part of their massively anticipated European tour. The tour will promote their 9th studio album 'Watershed' which has been described as breathtaking.

OPETH formed in Stockholm 1990 as a death metal band but have since explored so many new musical areas that they are now considered 'genreless' in the Metal world.

Tuesday 13th October 2009 @ The Olympia.

Tickets from €30 including booking fee go on sale this Monday 3rd August.

Hell yeah!

Sweet, I'm going.

I was looking at the ticketmaster site earlier and there was no info about age requirements,would that mean it's all ages? (at least not strictly 18's anyway?)

There's nothing about it on MCD yet either. It should be announced on Monday when the tickets go on sale.

SWEET.

Cool. Opeth are one of the first bands that got me into death metal. May have to pay a visit:D

Well actually there must have been a slip-up because tickets were onsale when I checked earlier at about 1pm today.

I think the Olympia's a great venue for Opeth. I could imagine them doing loads of laid back songs such as from Damnation. It'd be cool, sitting back and hearing loads of those tunes for a change.

Karl Hungus · 31-07-2009 8:52pm

Nice one. Any word on support bands?

Patricide · 31-07-2009 9:45pm

Well ive missed em twice, not a hope im missing em again...

tootyflutty · 31-07-2009 9:51pm

See you's there

nothing yet Karl, it's an off Tour headline date, so won't be a Prog Nation date, therefore no Dream Theater - maybe one of the other bands from that tour - but could just as easily be the Blizzards :-(

real pity DME didn't get this, would have been cracking support, I thought tickets would be on sale straight away this morning (hardly going on sale on a Bank Holiday Monday..) so I'm happy to have my seats in the first row upstairs :-)

Deadly
As said above its a pity DME didnt get the gig.
Jesus its been some year so far for gigs and we in a recession, plus this gig is in between 2 home Ireland matches.

rainbow kirby · 01-08-2009 12:30am

Awesome!

Will be there.

peterman · 02-08-2009 7:56pm

IanMc666 · 03-08-2009 11:27pm

Nothing about it on the Dream Theater site though.

Nope. Tis well dodgy, but I guess someone on the Opeth site just has it wrong, otherwise €30 is hella cheap for both of them!

If dream theater are playing...i will actually be the happiest man on the plannet.

Mushy · 04-08-2009 5:51pm

My God if Dream Theater actually do be playing this:eek: Twice in 4 nights would be quite pleasurable!

If not, well who cares, Opeth still playing is really cool

EDIT: The sheer fact Dream Theater are playing Hovet on 25th September....*runs and buys ticket*

Yeah, twas already confirmed with MCD yesterday & they said it definitely wasn't a progressive nations gig. DT were offered but they wanted the O2:eek: Think they think they're bigger than they actually are over here.

tbh im pretty sure dt know their not very big over here especially since BC&SL went top ten in most european countrys except for ireland were it peaked at 93.. and they wont ever play here again after the 2002 gig..

It mightn't be DT that think they're bigger over here than they are, but the promoters did offer them to MCD but only if they got the O2. Would love to see them here again, but its very unlikely.
Don't really care myself, will be seeing them in London myself. Can't wait! New album sounded brilliant live when I saw them in Belgium.

wow that must be because of the lack of mid sized venues, althought the venue their playing in scotland is pretty big too.. wow the o2 im pretty shocked by that!!

NIBBS · 05-08-2009 12:47pm

all this means is that you won't be seeing DT in Ireland as long as either they have that attitude or the Agent does.......

I'm glad I picked up my front row seats for Opeth when they went on sale.......should be a good one.....looking forward to finally catching them live....
