Slane local to support Guns N' Roses

A Slane local will be among those supporting Guns N’ Roses when they return to Slane Castle on Saturday 27th May.

Royal Blood, Mark Lanegan and Otherkin have just been added to the bill as special guests.

Otherkin are a grunge-pop band from Dublin, fronted by Slane local, Luke Reilly. Their debut album is due out later this year.

Lord Henry Mountcharles stated “I am delighted with this line up. Royal Blood is a really exciting act and I am thrilled they are on the bill. The local connection with Otherkin is special.

Guns'n' Roses return to Slane with a sold-out concert, part of their 'Not In This Lifetime Tour', 25 years after they last played the legendary venue.
