Amon Amarth - 24th October
As things stand right now, Amon Amarth on Saturday 24th October will be the next show from DME. This could change but, right now, that's the situation. Thanks to everyone that's come out to the shows so far this year. Like everything else, things have been tough in this business this year and that's a large part of the reason for the break - doing shows during the festival season just doesn't make sense, especially in time of such economic turmoil. So, in order to ensure that DME can continue, this is the best way to go right now.

Stratovarius & Firewind Up Next / Amon Amarth Announcement
Coming on Wednesday 20th May is the final DME show for a while: Stratovarius, Firewind & Edens Curse. This power metal extravaganza happens in The Button Factory. See 'future' for full ticket info and links.

For later in the year, the mighty Amon Amarth will return for a show in The Academy on Saturday 24th October. This is on sale now via www.tickets.ie and in the shops very soon. Poster etc. to follow.
