Looking to get your sleaze rock buzz on? Then D.M.E. got you covered son! Buckcherry and Hardcore Superstar are coming to the Academy and Limelight 2 in November for a co-headlining show that promises to deliver a lot of riffs, a lot of sing-alongs and a sh*t ton of hairspray. (Guest list baby!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Tickets for Dublin are on sale next Wednesday, June 19th priced €25. Support comes from The Last Vegas.
Well it’s the fourth post in a row about these guys, but why the hell not! The mighty Slayer have officially announced a second 2013 date for Belfast which is happening August 13th. Fans were surprised when a second Belfast date wasn’t added after the first gig sold out in three minutes. But, when gig shirts were bought in Dublin on Monday, a second (at the time, unannounced) gig magically appeared on their roster.
The band will again play the Limelight with tickets going on sale tomorrow from ticketmaster.ie priced £38 plus booking fees. If you missed their Dublin/Belfast gigs – you would be well advised to catch them at this one.
Trent Reznor is back, as are his greatest creation. Movie soundtracks? Bollocks! Trent knows his rightful place is at the helm of industrial music’s answer to ABBA (does that make sense? It’s late, you’re probably not reading this too closely anyway. Look at the pretty picture. I took that in 2007).
Nine Inch Nails are the latest headliners to join the Belsonic festival this year. I’ll be honest – all the dates suck except August 21st when NIN will make their return to Irish shores with And So I Watch You From Afar supporting. How freaking good does that sound?
Tickets are on sale tomorrow morning, Friday May 31st @ 09:00am priced £30.
D.M.E. have confirmed the stage times for this Saturday’s Day of Suffering. American purveyors of gore, Exhumed, headline the ten extreme metal band extravaganza….hmm, no.

\,,/SLAYER \,,/ in The Academy, does life get any better? The last time I saw them was on an airfield in Warsaw, Before that it was the Point Depot. Never thought they’d play somewhere as small as the Academy but I guess someone has been a good drunk this year. Wonder if Dave Lombardo and Jeff Hanneman will be back by then?
