    €27.90 is decent value for a band like Machine Head I think - hopefully someone decent as support too....

    Its probably not , Most Machine Head fans are under 18 and the Belfast gig says nothing about being over 18's.

    Any of the 3 headlining shows i've seen them at has had a crowd generally late 20's+. I'm 37 and have never felt old at any of their shows,plenty of guys older than me rocking out.:)

    Sweet! I'll try and get standing tickets asap. Rammstein and now MH. I'm a happy dude. I was never in the Olympia. Is it a good venue?

    Sort of the same with me. I absolutely love all of The Blackening, maybe one of my favorite albums but its the only machine head album I know. I know pretty much no other songs outside of it :pac:

    Any idea who will be supporting?

    I've just got two tickets for the 'Head - but in the circle (no standing left)...I assume no one actually sits down at an MH gig anyway?! :)

    I've seen a few comments on here about earplugs. Are they significantly louder than most? I've only ever seen them play at festivals, no enclosed spaces...
