The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

Booking seems ambitious, especially at £160 a standing ticket, but watch thing go sell out in a few hours. This whole ticketing situation is out of control.

If that was an arena show i'd be interested, dont think I need a Slipknot stadiun show in my life though. Doesn't the stadium have notoriously bad sound?

 

I was at a concert there a couple of weeks ago, I was in the stands and the sound was fine. I've seen the same artist in arena's many times and the sound wasn't as good as it was in arenas. That said, the online consensus afterwards was that the sound in the stands was fine but the sound for those standing was awful - the standing tickets were between £200 and £1k so those fans were understandably very unhappy.

So disappointed that Slipknot have chosen Marilyn Manson to support.

The sound in Wembley for Linkin Park and Spiritbox last year was awful. I was standing and was close to the front and the side. But then I saw Oasis (Cast and Richard Ashcroft) a month later and the sound was incredible from the back of the standing section. I sometimes think it’s a band’s specific set-up rather than the venue.

I’ve seen Slipknot a couple of times but I’m not a big enough fan to pay through the nose. I also wouldn’t buy a ticket to this tour because of Marilyn Manson. However, my friend’s already said she’ll put me on the guest list so I’ll see closer to the time. It’s peak gig/festival season so if something else comes up then I’ll decide then.
