Sadly, Ireland will not be taking part due to the ongoing pandemic crises which obliterated the counties entertainment industry. A fresh new start to Metal 2 The Masses Ireland will be underway [in guidance with the Irish Health authorities] and hopefully will be taking applications this September for Metal 2 The Masses Ireland 2022.
