no I won't take it back :P

look I'm sure you know from my tone that if the Rammstein gig happens I'll sell the other kidney and sort myself out with a ticket..........it's just gettin very expensive and the year doesn't even start for a month.......

really lookin forward to seeing Machine Head in a headlining slot again though.....should be cool......and to have a good support list is such a pleasant surprise....

Who is supporting btw?

This will be my 1st ever concert.
Im 18 and dont have I.D...will i even need 1 (got tix anyway)?
Bleeding through, All shall perish and Hatebreed are all supporting, will the supporting play 1st or will it be mixed?
it starts at 7.30... any clue or any general knowledge at what time it will be over at?
Roughly, how long would machine head be playing?
And finally, what would the usual setlist be for Machine Head?
Thanks.

I believe minors have to be accompanied by adults so yeah, it's probably a good idea to have one. Do you not have a passport?

Bleeding through, All shall perish and Hatebreed are all supporting, will the supporting play 1st or will it be mixed?

Yes, they'll be playing first. Not sure about the order but I'd imagine Hatebreed will be the last support to play before Machine Head.

it starts at 7.30... any clue or any general knowledge at what time it will be over at?

I'm not sure, is it the doors at 7.30 or the gig starting at 7.30? I'd imagine the gig would be over at 11.00-11.30, thereabouts.

Roughly, how long would machine head be playing?

Around an hour and a half would be about the norm I think.

And finally, what would the usual setlist be for Machine Head?
Thanks.

They haven't started this tour yet so you can't really say, but once they start it (in January I think) you should check their message board to see what songs they've been playing, that'll give you a pretty accurate indication.

Thanks for the help man. and yea, have passport, didn't even think about that:rolleyes:

Curious... is it hard to get infront of people to get as close as possible to the band/action during the performance? I have a headache thinking that the night would be a buzzkill getting pushed back etc. And their would be not much room to proper headbang without been at the very front. And yes i booked ground floor tix

It all depends how determined you are. If you're really desperate to get to the front your best bet is to turn up early. If you can't get in early it's still possible to get to the front,or first 2/3 rows. Just make your way through the crowd,be nice about it,no elbows out or pushing people around and you can usually make good progress.

There's plenty of room on the floor to headbang,you make your own space.:cool:

Lads, that first ever gig with Slayer was in 1994 and TBH I was disappointed with Machine Head that night as their sound was shocking!

But every other time they've been back here they've been superb, can't wait for this gig.

If you show up early enough you'll get a pit pass so you'll be right at the front section. It's great as there's pletny of space there and if you don't have to worry about losing your place if you need to go get drinks or go to the toilet.

I wouldn't have imagined there'd be pit passes at the Olympia. I've only been there for a seated gig (comedy) but it didn't look any bigger than The Ambassador, which had no passes.

The sound for support bands is nearly always *****.

I was there for NOFX earlier this year and it had a pit.

They're not. There are still standing tickets available. Just bought mine this evening in Sound Cellar in Dublin. Maybe just the ticketmaster site is sold out.
