Support acts announced for Metallica's Slane Castle concert including Ghost and Stiff Little Fingers

The full line-up for Metallica's Slane Castle gig next month has been announced - and it's a rocker's delight.

The US metal superstars will perform in the iconic Co Meath venue on June 8 for what will be their first Irish concert in a decade.

Now the gig looks set to be even more epic with the news that Swedish rock band Ghost and Belfast punk rockers Stiff Little Fingers have been announced as the support acts.

Norwegian Stonerpunk legends Bokassa and Dublin garage rockers FANGCLUB will also perform at the concert.

The concert will mark a big highlight of this summer's packed music and festival calendar in Ireland.

If you want to head along, some tickets are still available from €89.50 including booking fee from Ticketmaster.
