Bit of a mini review of the slayer concert I was fortunate to win tickets for via the VIP MySky app
Being a fan of Rock and heavy metal music since school I noticed two weeks ago that there was a ticket ballot on the MySky app to see slayer, anthrax and several other heavy metal bands at Blackweir field in Cardiff
Living only 15 minutes away I decided to enter (as I do with most competitions!) but with having a poor winning record !
I've enjoyed listening to slayer since I was 15 years old (I'm now 49) and did have tickets to see them in Birmingham in 1994 only for it to be cancelled.
To my surprise I received a winning email and a code to redeem 2 tickets 3 days before the concert on July 3rd. Coincidentally alanis morrisette had played the same venue the night before
Two of my mates already had tickets so the four of us ventured out with our band T shirts along with 30,000 other fans at 5pm on the 3rd July
Being local we parked about 5 minutes away in Cardiff city centre and walked in
The weather was perfect for once! And the venue was already busy when we got in. The ticket code was via ticketmaster (and having already been to see guns n roses the week before ) I downloaded the tickets into my phone wallet and we got straight in no queueing .
The vibe was relaxed and exciting and the warm up acts including anthrax played with power and passion in the evening sun
When slayer took to stage ( now in their 60s!) the music was relentless, aggressive and intense and their pyro and lights were impressive! Watching them blast through 40!years of their best tunes was brilliant and another band to tick off my bucket list. I'm not one for the mosh pit but we were able to get close enough to the stage to get a great view
The show ended in a blaze of pyro and lights and we all had a blast !
Managed to get back to the car and get home by 11.30!
Thank you sky for the chance to see my teenage heroes !
