The one thing we know about Metallica...there'll be a tour announced soon.

If Ireland is on it...Hope it's good support!

yeah lots of rumours on the Metallica fourms about a summer 2019 Euro stadium tour annoucement monday and that Slane is the irish venue

Sure look at it this way Slane has hosted some of the best acts of all time and is widly known as a Rock venue. Metallica are well deserved to be given a show there, its been 10 years since they last played the Republic, it will sell as Metallica/support bands will go, the usual ole ole ole crowd will go, It will be hyped up to the max etc.

Personally hate open field gigs and would of rathered a stadium but i was lucky enough to see Metallica in Glasgow last year and had a perfect view in Row A of the seating section and im strongly thinking of doing Slane and see what all the fuse is about. Bus services like travelmaster are ideal for me

Why would MCD keep posting Metallica stuff if they didn't have them booked?

In fairness it's highly unlikely they aren't booked

That place needs to be retired.

Bon Jovi sold less than 40,000 tickets, which would literally be half empty.

They have tweeted a few things over the past few weeks alright. But that’s not the issue, we know they’re coming here next Summer. The only question is where?

And I’d prefer to wait for something more concrete than someone knows someone who works in Ticketmaster said something or it’s being discussed on some other message board by people who have the exact same zero knowledge of anything definite.

Yep. Like www.metallica.com for instance

i would be worried for them playing slane cant see them filling it without a very strong support line up. But at least if it is slane there will be no problem in getting what ever substitute they have for beer . Looking at there website surprised at the amount arenas in america there is still tickets left for

I met a fella who was on hols in Dingle about a month ago and he told me that Metallica will be def playing Slane next summer. He works "in the industry" let's say. He seemed a genuine guy and I have no reason to doubt him. If they were playing in my local pub tonight I'd have to think twice about going to see them. I loved them 30 years ago but they've annoyed me for a long time now. If Judas Priest were on the bill though I'd be there in a shot....even to Slane.

ps. as if it matters where I met him

It may come to pass yet of course, but it's hilarious how much legs this story has gotten from anonymous people quoting other anonymous people on Internet message boards.
