W.A.S.P. are a band that has never abandoned Ireland. Since their very first album, Blackie Lawless and co. have always made sure to include Ireland on their European tours and this is something Irish people are very grateful for. Of course they’re not the only band to include us, but while many of their Contemporaries […]

September 19, 2015Review: Behemoth – Live @ The Academy (Dec 11th, 2014)
December 17, 2014A cancelled gig is always a bummer which can leave a bad taste in the mouth for years to come. That’s why Behemoth fans in Ireland must tip their hats to all the folks at DME and Behemoth themselves for saving the latter’s long awaited return to Irish shores this week. Awful weather conditions meant […]

Review: SLAYER – Live @ The Academy, Dublin (July 1st, 2014)
July 2, 2014If you’re an Irish metal fan, you can be forgiven for thinking SLAYER are the only metal band in the entire world these days. After all, the group has performed here six times in the last year and there’s still tonight’s sold out Academy show to go. While other major metal bands appear to have […]
Photos: DEATH DTA – Live @ The Academy (27th November, 2013)
January 10, 2014Taking your sweet time is one of the simple pleasures to enjoy when you own your own blog. On that note, enjoy some snaps from DEATH DTA’s show at the Academy last year. Incredible performance that I regret not reviewing.
Going to The Academy soon? Something you should see
July 25, 2013I had the privilege of attending three shows at The Academy over the past month (I say privilege because deadly bouncers, nice bar staff and great crowds always make it a pleasure to visit) and that always leads to one thing for Tickets There – wistful smoke breaks that generally devolve into drunken lectures as […]
REPORT: Slayer – Live @ The Academy, Dublin (June 11th, 2013)
June 13, 2013Going to see Slayer two nights in a row – one of the best decisions this writer has ever made. For the second night in a row, SLAYER raised the roof off Dublin’s Academy with what seemed like even more power and ferocity than Monday’s show (quite a feat considering the incredible performance they put […]
The Doors Alive Return To The Academy
September 7, 2012Tickets There wouldn’t normally be ones for tribute bands, but then again The Doors Alive are not your average cover act. We were fortunate enough to catch one of their packed midnight shows at the Academy a few years back and instantly became fans. For those that weren’t alive (no pun intended) when the Doors […]
Review: The Riptide Movement – Live @ The Academy 2, Dublin (March 5th 2011)
April 7, 2011A month! That’s how bloody long it’s taken us to knuckle down and tell you how good The Riptide Movement were at the Academy on March 5th. Whoever said Tickets There was a lazy blog owes us a serious apology. With speed like this we may even be considered for expulsion from the Irish music […]
Review: The Aftermath – Live @ The Academy (12th Feb, 2010)
February 14, 2010Tickets There has never been good at arriving on time for anything. We’re so bad at it, people have actually stopped talking to us on different occasions because we’re so damn unreliable at turning up for nights out, days out and anything that involves being somewhere at a certain time. Despite heading straight into town […]
Live Review: Man Raze, The Academy 2, Dublin
June 18, 2009On a quiet Wednesday night in these recession times, surprises are welcome treats to break our attention from the constant news update about how screwed we all are. Tonight there’s more than one in store as The Academy fills up with members of Whitesnake, Def Leppard and their entourages to watch Man Raze in action. […]

Academy Awards 2013 Fever
February 24, 2013I think we all know the film that will sweep the Academy Awards tonight! Yes, it’s Lincoln, starring Oderus Urungus from metal legends, GWAR. Anything else would be an insult to the Oscars, an abomination to human decency and potentially the beginning of Earth’s demise.
The Aftermath Live @ Academy 2 Tomorrow Night!
February 11, 2010Mullingar, Longfords and Leeds leading legendary pop rock outfit, The Aftermath are coming to Dublin tomorrow night.
