IRON MAIDEN - Malahide Castle June 25.

Poster

Halestorm and The Raven Age supporting

Fcukin EPIC …. take my money !!!

The show will feature songs from the band’s heyday spanning the nine albums from the eponymous debut album in 1980 to Fear of the Dark in 1992

Well, now that is good news . . . but a mid-week night in Malahide is not exactly convenient for those of us down the country - might mean a couple of days off work, for a start.

Any advice about Malahide as a venue for those of us not in Dublin (I've never been)? Would it be better to spring for a hotel in Dublin that night (good transport back to the city after the gig, etc.?), or is driving feasible (so as not to be back in Limerick by stupid o'clock)? Part of me thinks a weekend in London might be better, and see them at the London Stadium . . .

Generally, is Malahide Castle a good gig venue?

Cheers for any info

There is a usually a decent dart service after gigs to get you back into town. The queue generally looks worse than it is as there are plenty of trains ready to move the crowd out of the village

Possible option for you Sandymount Hotel around the corner from the Aviva stadium currently has rooms on the night for €209. Train (DART) from Malahide to Lansdowne Station after the gig , 5 mins walk from station to hotel. Nice quite area. Free Parking …. I reckon City Centre Hotels prices would be much much more.

I brought a 6 year old maiden fan last year. I suppose that given there looks like there is no seating that Malahide wouldnt be suitable to bring an 8 and 10 year old to ? They probably wont even be allowed in I expect

I know for Rammstein no under 16s were allowed on the pitch; whether that was just for that gig or a general rule here in Ireland I don't know but gigs at Croker don't allow under 14s on the pitch either it seems. Bloody ridiculous nonetheless!

Iron Maiden generally dont go in for that sort of stuff, they try to keep prices reasonable.

That's good to know, cheers.

That’s not bad for The Grand and very handy (booked with them direct I presume?), ; I had a look on Booking.com earlier for the craic and it was coming up at €400, I presumed they were bumping up prices due to the gig to keep the riff raff out 😁

Try a hotel in drogheda or balbriggan. Train is much quieter

Yep booked direct after seeing the prices on booking.com. Was double and triple checking that I had the right dates in as I couldn't believe the price difference.

I seen Arcade Fire at Malahide in July and the access facilities were brilliant.

We paid €20 for venue parking, it was so efficient we were back in our hotel within 30mins of the gig ending!!

We had stayed at Kettles Hotel, but didn’t realise until we were there, it’s a stop off for shuttle bus services for concerts at Malahide castle.

So definitely don’t let accessibility put you off.

Prefer Malahide to Marlay, Marlay just seemed to packed there wasn't room to breathe, even on the sides near the food vans. Malahide on the other hand, even though it's smaller, has a feeling of more space. Only downside to it is that it's a long old walk in and out.

Iron Maiden's a band that i sorta skipped in 80s/90s (always thought the tshirts were cool tho and I think I even had one) but just listened to them there and singer sounds very much like the singer from Blue Oyster Cult, whom I do like very much.

Bit like a cross between that band and Black Sabbath.

It loses major points for the location of the toilets. Absolute pain in the hole to get there but aside from that, it's a nice setup

did you have to book venue parking or first come first served?

Hoping someone also shares an aul presale code here on Wednesday :D Dont want that friday morning misery of ticketmaster…

Fanclub presale opens in an hour, hopefully somebody will post the seating plan.

Any idea what type of setlist they will play.

Running Free

Iron Maiden

Wrathchild

Killers

Revelations

The Trooper

Flight of Icarus

Aces High

Two Minutes to Midnight

Powerslave

Wasted Years

Alexander the Great

Can I play with Madness

The Clairvoyant

Holy Smoke

Bring your Daughter

Fear of the Dark

I'd settle nicely if it was a lot of that. But it would be absolutely unreal if they threw in Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Would make it complete. I also have a soft spot for Infinite Dreams. But don't see that happening.

Anyone have a spare code? Didn't get one from them for some reason
