'hey guys how has it been 10 years since we played Ireland, it will not happen again' BS

anyway hoping for a top class support. Xmas will be even better knowing we have a Metallica show to look forward too. Last Oct in Glasgow was unreal

The Slane Castle instagram page has put a bit off a dampener on things by denying all speculation on social media pages!Hopefully it's someone with a big mouth trying to save face :pac::pac:

Yeah was a bit strange that there was no official statement when it broke. Could be that they’re not playing there at all!!

So what's the difference between this and the dude who has been banging on for months that Metallica are doing Slane. I mean is it an " official rumour " now? Or have the Sun just been reading this thread?

Could be trying to put people off the scent??

You would have to think there is something concrete behind it. But..... it is the sun

I said last week or week before that they were playing Slane and Donington and will have a few Donington bands as support (Maiden also headlining)

Lars is a completist, loves doing new thing and Slane is, for sure, 1 of those venues he wants to tick the box off

So apparently Metallica were supposed to play Dublin this year but from reading the article they chose Slane. I'm happy enough either way. Been a long time coming I think.

Just seen LimpBizkit are supporting them in Donington. Could be the ‘big’ support band needed to shift a few extra tickets in Slane!

Where has that been mooted?

scudzilla

Ax7, Ghost, Limp Bizkit and maybe an Irish band would shift quite a few tickets.

I love Metallica and have seen them over 25 times but no way will I be buying a ticket, countless tickets going for 20quid outside GnR, was even given a free one, this is gonna be a cheap gig for me

Limp Bizkit? Please no

Can’t disagree with you but they’d shift a few tickets

I just think they’d have nostalgia factor from the 2000s

They just want to make the official announcement on their terms. You know, have yer man Mountcharles announce it with the cameras on etc.

I read somewhere that Slane has been pencilled in for June 8th as opposed to the last weekend in May. That would make alot of sense if they're doing the Download crossover, because then Slane will be on the same weekend as DL

That came out a good few hours ago. Rte still have it fairly prominently in their feed so would think they’d pull it if they thought it was bogus

That's what I've seen on the metclub forum too. Source being someone inside ticketmaster according to the poster in question; Saturday June 8th. Of course it's an anonymous poster in t'internet so ....

Nah I think download is usually between the 8th-12th. Generally the weekend after our June Bank Holiday. So it'd make sense for Metallica to play slane on the Saturday, headline download on the Sunday. Support for Slane made up of a few Friday/Sunday download bands

Download is 14--16 June and Metallica will definitely not play Slane the same weekend as they will not, under any circumstances, play 2 gigs on consecutive nights, their touring schedule is pretty set out now. 7 dates over 2wks then a break

It's just been reported on today FM that an official announcement will be made next Monday

I have a funny feeling we might see the Foo Fighters supporting them...

I remember an interview last year with Lars and Dave and they talked about touring together one day.

That with another 2/3 decent bands and it would probably sell out.

Seriously? I’d doubt that very much. Foo Fighters aint a support band.
