![]() Coming from Germany, having represented their country in this year’s Eurovision, a bit of research shows they have released 8 studio albums to date, 5 orchestral albums, 4 live alums, 2 compilations and 6 EPs to date (thank you Wikipedia). I must confess to not being familiar with the support act, Lord of the Lost. It takes a while to work your way to the front, queues are slow moving but once there it’s like Christmas again. As is usual, the sheer variety and standout artwork of Maiden’s merch is jaw dropping with queues lining up along the lengths of the desks and nearly 12 deep if not more. There are 2 other gigs from different musical paths in Dublin tonight resulting in hotels and taxis being at a premium, and in the case of hotels, a ridiculous premium it is but that’s another story for another forum.Īnd so, just before 18:30, doors are opened, and everyone filters in with beelines made for the Merch Desks and/or Bars. It’s so good to soak up the vibes and enjoy another adventure and again experience that welcome feeling of camaraderie that is always there between Metalheads. Pre-gig, and it is well evident throughout Dublin who is playing in the town tonight! The Metal masses are everywhere and in and around the Point Village area of the city, where the venue is located, we have taken over. Some of the gang travelling from Scotland and England to meet up in our traditional fashion, a necessity when Maiden tour and a regular fixture of our gig calendar. Indeed, our own band of 50-somethings (cough ok in one or two cases 40-somethings) have gathered, some bringing their next generation of Metalheads to the concert in an excellent example of conscientious, thoughtful and proper parenting. Maiden’s travelling support has always been a standout feature of attending one of their gigs, you could meet fellow fans from any corner of the globe and tonight is no exception. As is usual wherever Maiden play the arena is sold out Metalheads having travelled from afar to take in a date (if not another date) on the Future Past Tour 2023. Scream for me Dublin!! It’s great to be back one big happy family.
