Kids music like this gives dance music a bad name

jack presley · 08-07-2012 12:28am

I know it's easy to say from the comfort in of my living room and hindsight's a wonderful thing but from the get go this concert had scumbag convention written all over it.

Tails142 · 08-07-2012 12:33am

I live to the north of the park near ashtown, couldn't hear the gig tonight. Could hear the stone roses gig on thursday very loudly, guess it's to do with the wind.

Was driving through finglas earlier and the amount of scumbags in large groups making their way toward the park was unreal, I'm talking groups of fifty people laden down with cans, I'd say it was some crack in the park alright....

Varied · 08-07-2012 12:37am

Absolute knack fest. Glad I didn't go anyway!

People think dance music is associated with scumbags but its only kids music that draws the scumbags,*cough cough* avicii *cough cough* david guetta.

A concert like this would be great for a surprise mass sterilisation.:pac:

Definitely 1 stabbing. I've had it confirmed by someone on site. Wasn't instantly fatal but no update on that. The person in question was stabbed twice. Unconfirmed report of a second stabbing which was, allegedly, a facial stab wound

Instantly fatal? So what you're saying is the person died later?

laois gael · 08-07-2012 12:50am

I hope tomorrows crowd is not as rough reading this thread is putting me off going..:mad:

bouncebouncey · 08-07-2012 12:50am

Nope I'm saying the person who told me about it doesn't know how serious the injuries were but he does know the person didn't die instantly from them. They could have been, relatively speaking of course, minor or they could have been serious. He wasn't involved in the medical aftercare so he doesn't know

neckedit · 08-07-2012 12:51am

I think what they are saying is the person did not die at the scene of the stabbing, but they had no more news after the fact,

No. They may have died, it just wasn't definitely fatal on-site. They would have been taken to hospital and the staff probably didn't have time to even update with hospital staff by the sounds of it.

I'm heading to Florence tomorrow and I can tell ya there is no way it will be the same crowd. Just hope the weather is up to scratch!

Omega28 · 08-07-2012 12:55am

it had disaster written all over it

scudzilla · 08-07-2012 12:55am

How about people stop speculating about any 'Supposed' stabbings until an official announcement is made.

Some kid, be it a scobe or not, may have gone to a gig and won't be going home tonight, so just wait until it's confirmed

p1akuw47h5r3it · 08-07-2012 12:57am

Gardai say no deaths at Swedish House Mafia despite reports. Number of stabbings believed to have taken place #dublin #shm #ireland

Just read this on twitter, hopefully is true.

Marty McFly · 08-07-2012 12:57am

Shocking but writing was on the wall with this that it was going to be a disaster.

criticalcritic · 08-07-2012 1:08am

Live right beside park and the choas I witnessed before this even began

Cans thrown everywhere, the Royal Canal a sea of litter, topless gurriers screaming and shouting then came nearly full scale riot as gangs of scumbags started attacking each other.

I know few people there and few doing security,.said there is one dead abd someone had their face ripped off by a broken bottle

Hope residents get on to local representatives that this never happens in park again

utyh2ikcq9z76b · 08-07-2012 1:08am

Was mental blood everywhere...fights all day

laois gael · 08-07-2012 1:11am

Jesus Rip to who ever it was if true,,,Some parents going to get bad news tonight...Im considering not going tomorrow with this sort of news and the conditions that are been reported

i was there on thursday for the roses and there was nothing like this. unfortunately, there was a very young crowd at this

flyswatter · 08-07-2012 1:12am

I was at the Stone Roses and the security didn't have much to do. They were having a great time in fact. Some really enjoying the music.

This however...

Monife · 08-07-2012 1:15am

Was actually devastated at all the status updates of people going to this tonight, until I read about the aftermath. SO glad I didn't go now.

Cop the fuck on. Some of us know and love people who were at the gig tonight.

Melion · 08-07-2012 1:20am

This will be a serious problem for MCD, never mind the state of the park that people were talking about earlier. I have 2 cousins up there, just texted one to make sure he is ok.

thatsnotmyname · 08-07-2012 1:21am

A lot more maturer crowd at The Stone Roses in fairness

I passed down the Navan Road at about 1:30 this afternoon I was surprised at the amount of young lads heading that direction at that time!
did todays gig start earlier?

I really hope the reports of a death or two are false
it will probably put tomorrows gig in doubt if true

fiacha · 08-07-2012 1:21am

i'm sure the majority of people at the gig had a great night and didn't see any of the alleged violence.

Just brought the dog out for a walk. The estate is very quiet. Plenty of shouting from over towards the canal.

Soby · 08-07-2012 1:21am

Prrtty meh gig. Good music but looking over my shoulder evey two seconds to see a fight break out was off putting . So much scum at it . Harrasing people . Shocked how close you could grt without a ticket . Better of sittting st the cross and listening for free

Gates opened at 3 today, didnt open til after 5 on Thursday

spiralism · 08-07-2012 1:24am

This had trouble written all over it. Glad i only heard this in the last hour once id heard back from the brother or id be horrid worried.

Without meaning to make crude generalisations, this was always a possibility given rough people being fans of the bands today, a muddy torn up arena, mcd ineptitude and a lot of drinking going on...like a condensed oxegen and that gets enough trouble as it is

Id say it was like an oxygen on speed with every one of the mentallity weve only got one day lets go mental. Oxygen wears them out a bit.

That and two massive campsites which half of them dont bother leaving for the weekend and a rake of stages...really spreads them out and they can be steered clear of, as i did on my three visits there. On the other hand tonight was a perfect storm by the sounds

LilNiall · 08-07-2012 1:32am

Surely if there were fatal stabbings the gig would have been stopped.

Sounds absolute carnage though.

Imagine what the majority of the rest of the crowd would do if the gig was called off.

plastik90 · 08-07-2012 1:34am

Wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be, I went the whole day without seeing a fight sure there were kids that couldn't handle their drink and people passed out at the side of the road, but it's what 40,000 (i think) people at a dance gig, that type of music is bound to drag in an element of bad people. For most it was grand.

If a football match (European Cup Final 1985) can be played minutes after 39 fans died then a gig would definitely go ahead.

IF the gig had of been cancelled then just imagine the trouble.

MattHelders · 08-07-2012 1:36am

Didn't see any fights personally. Although I just stayed at the stage for the whole thing. Thought SHM were fantastic. I couldn't hear a word Snoop was saying. Awful sound system

Do you not think itd sad that you think kids not able to drink alcohol and passing out on the road is no big deal?

It was an utter beacon for the flith of Dublin to come out and cause havoc

LilNiall · 08-07-2012 1:41am

It wouldnt be now completed.

If the death of 2 people is not a just enough reason for fellow revellers to stop partying, I really would be surprised, shocked, ashamed & disgusted.

If the trouble is anywhere near what is being made out the calls for no Oxegen will be difficult to ignore next year.

These reported fatalities have been rumoured for a few house.

2 hours ago SHM tweeted
Thanks for a great night dubliners.

Surely they'd have been informed of fatalities?

With no newslink I hope it's BS. I mean the jounos probably had the reports prewritten of trouble & stabbings.

SHM are hardly going to tweet about trouble at their gigs.

Nor would they feel the need to say it was a great night if it was indeed a murder scene?

BOHtox · 08-07-2012 2:00am

Post was deleted. No reason given.

I simply quoted someone from Boards, like LilNiall, and questioned the source of the info. LilNiall's posts are still there but mine isn't...

Mod?

imfml · 08-07-2012 2:00am

Was there tonight and wouldn't be surprised if the reports are true. I've never seen scenes like what I saw today. In my first 5 minutes there I saw a guy loaf a girl and bust her nose, was one of many incidents I saw. Thankfully I didn't see anyone stabbed so hope everyone gets home safe. The security are well rehearsed at putting people in the recovery position for tomorrow night anyway, but the crowd won't be half as bad (the ground will be twice as bad though, if thats even possible.)

shocksy · 08-07-2012 2:04am

Gardai, Journalists, Security, have all said there were no deaths or stabbings at the event, its all rumours that escalated on twitter and facebook, if there were serious incidents it would have been reported long before now.

There was probably assaults and thats where the chinese whispers started.

Jesus Christ, If there is a CREDIBLE SOURCE please post it, or
else do not post about the rumored stabbings (even though the Gardai have said none took place...)

The internet is ruined by people posting sh1te from non-credible (incredible?

) sources. If you don't have the proof, don't post!!

Doctor DooM · 08-07-2012 2:09am

I'm going to reiterate: Unless something official is released, and links are provided, we cant have this talk of people being dead etc.

It's random scare mongering.
