What could have happened? People could have fell in the mud?

And if it had kicked off, in the dark with no security, how would it have played out?

I'd day unless its a old timers folk festival there'll be no gigs in the Phoenix Park for a long time

So, what can we look forward to in 2013? Well, there will definitely be a return to the Phoenix Park, with MCD looking to put on up to four shows in the park next year for a start. This makes total sense: if you leave aside the events surrounding the Swedish House Mafia show last July, the Park was a hugely successful venture for the promoter with three sold-out shows earning a huge gross and involving a much smaller sets of costs than Oxegen. And lightning can’t strike twice, can it? There will also be shows at Croke Park, Marlay Park, the RDS and the Aviva (Roger Waters isn’t likely to be the only one paying rent to the IRFU and the FAI). Acts we might – and please note I said “might” – possibly see playing in the country next summer include Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Arcade Fire (though that’s more likely to be 2014 if the album release is late 2013), Tom Waits and Fleetwood Mac.

Rumours of Rhianna playing Croke Park next June. I think the rolling stones will play Slanes second date.

Hopefully a day of rock for one of the dates. With the likes of Aerosmith, Soundgarden and possibly Black Country Communion on tour. Van Halen too would be really something special.

Although unwarranted, rock fans get a bad rep so I doubt you'll see a rock gig in Phoenix Park. Next year's gigs will be aimed at an older audience I reckon

I would settle for the 02 for any of these bands, getting a bit old for the outdoors.

Ha ha, yeah we're no longer at the bottom of the undesirables list!

Unfortunately the Joe Duffy listening members of the public still see rock fans as hooligans and troublemakers though
