hellyeah

as above. Tickets on sale. Nice warm up for download festivel.:D
tickets €29.

Deschain

got my ticket this morning. Hopefully the bastards won't cancel again this year.

Somnus

Excellent. I'll definitely pick up a ticket for this

xerces

I think I'll pick up a ticket for this.

Crack The Skye is my favourite Mastodon album, but I also enjoy the more melodic approach they took with their most recent album The Hunter.

Stormageddon

Got my ticket (again) Any word/rumours on whose supporting?

seachto7

wonder will they release a full length dvd of the Brixton show. There were some pro shots online last year of a couple of tracks, and if it's anything like those, I'll cream my pants!

MetalDog

Got my ticket, wonder who's supporting? Please be Gojira!

roast

Curious about supports. Always wanted to see Mastodon, but the addition of Gojira is what sold it for me last year.
Really hope it's the same line up.... doubtful though.

Somnus

I agree. I would love for it to be Gojira, but can't see that happening now tbh. Should still be a good gig though!

Just Like Heaven

Can't believe this is still on sale. Both nights sold out so fast last year.

thedarwinfish

somehow managed to miss that this was coming up...after seeing the thread though tickets have been gotten and all's well with the world. much obliged

Xenji

Ticket got today, cannot wait, hope the support is good as well.

Just Like Heaven

Just a head's up for people here

I'd say Gojira were a massive factor in that.

Seaneh

Saw them a few years go (maybe 5?) in the academy and it was one of the best gig's I've ever been too and I'm not even much of a mastadon fan, a ticket just fell in my lap and a lad i knew way driving up anyway.

Deschain

I read the start of your post and thought that we were going to say you had two spare VIP tickets that you were willing to sell on. Ah, well!:( Enjoy though!

Really wanna go, but my friends are broke at the moment and we'll just be back from Rock Am Ring at that stage, so might not be easy to get to the gig after that.

That's cool.

We'll need a pic of the lads from Mastodon holding a small sign that says hello to Boards.ie's Rock & Metal forum though... :pac:

I'm extremely grateful for Scudz' generous offer! It'll be a great night.

As am I, it'll be incredible meeting them.

We should do that, be a cool addition to the page.

There's a free pint at the next R&M beers if ye can make the pic happen .

Wrongway1985

Looking forward to this so close now, hope the academy is still intact after the slayer gigs, had a sneaky at their recent sets and pleased to see a certain 13 min track theyre currently ending with, i imagine theyll chop and change over the 2 nights.

Deschain

^ Yea I seen they were ending with The Last Baron, I really hope they do again. It would be a fantastic ending, what a song.

How did that get here!? :P

I won't go back on what I said though, I'll gladly buy a round if there's ever another R/M beers. Not that I'm bloody loaded or anything, but I've learned a lot about music throughout my time on this forum and it would be a simple gesture of appreciation (I hear attendance at such events is pretty sparse in any case!).

Driving up from the shticks tomorrow. Any advice on parking around the Academy?

whiterob81

I drive into gigs in the academy from Dublin 15 the odd time and I normally just park on capel street because it's free in the evening time. But if you're leaving your car overnight I'd recommend the car park behind cineworld on Parnell street. They do a €9 overnight rate.

seachto7

Ah, Capel Street it is. I could park behind the Grand Social as well. Good to know thanks.
