Dutch symphonic metal band Delain kicked up a storm of a night at The Academy Dublin with a loud seventeen song set with everything from ”The Reaping” / ”Get The Devil Out Of Me” / ”Dance With The Devil” they even brought one of the support acts out for a song, the support act being Damian Wilson and the song being ”Your Body Is A Battleground”.
Speaking of Damian it was himself that opened up proceedings on the night and even treated the crowd to free chocolate coins as he dished them out from the stage during his fantastic solo set which laid the way for hard rock act Stone Broken who also played a blinding set before handing the set and well warmed up crowd to the main act.
