    Marley is one of the nicest and most user friendly venues going. Compact, easy access to loos, food, etc. Numerous exits in and out.

    Can't wait for this gig. I'm a rocker at heart but U2 were such rubbish I can't wait to let it all hang out at Fatboy's gig.

    Last time I was at a gig in Marlay (which was a few years back) they were checking IDs at the bars.

    Local residents have been told it will be over by 10:45, so it will probably be 11pm. Drink isn't being sold until the first act starts, so that's 2:30, I drove past today at 5 and there were still a lot of people outside, they seem to have a drinking area set up across from centra where you can drink before you go in.

    I have never seen such a gathering of scumbags in my life as the crowd I witnessed heading in to this tonight.

    Fair play to the Gardai for having such patience.

    I have never seen such a bunch of pikies and pieballs in my life, the crowd were pure filth. That however was not my biggest complaint. Fatboy Slim's set was nothing short of a disgrace. Literally the worst 'bigtime' gig i have ever witnessed, the guy is a joke. Only thing that kept it going was the crowds refusal to let the shiet tunes dampen their fun. I had a great laugh over the coursae of the day but I will never pay to see Norman Cook again.

    Thought it was a great gig in all, and a great day. Crowd was filth as someone said but sure most people are bang on if you have a chat with them. Free tickets and a €250 profit.

    Got a 16a out and had to get the special Dublin Bus home, the driver was nothing but a gent, stopped to pick people up, wouldn't take any money and dropped me off at Leonards Corner and saved me a walk home from home, if you're reading this you're a true gent.

    Yeah there were a fair few scumbags but I've learned to ignore them at this stage so it didn't really bother me.

    Thought Fatboy played a great set, maybe not as crowd pleasing as some people may have expected but still really good. Visuals were great too and the rain actually really added to the lasers!

    Fake Blood was amazing too.

    Great gig, fake blood was excellent, Fatboy Slim did an awesome dj set. Maybe people just expected him to blast out his greatest hits but thats not really his style.

    Agree there was an interesting bunch of people there, i was told a few times that i was a copper from one group and where i thought it was funny to begin with after a little while it descended into more verbal abuse and then the threat of them kicking the sh?t out of a copper and me being told if your not a copper you'd have Fcuked off by now....

    Needless to say myself and the rest of our group departed that part of the field... not a nice experience!!!!!

    Lol, I'm glad to see everyone with the same sentiment I had!

    The young crowd for metallica were so tame in comparison, they were all polite and kept to themselves, however the absolute SCUM that we're lingering around Marley last night were starting fights, young skobies asking everyone to buy them drink and going ballistic when they were refused, giving the Gardai abuse etc.

    As a resident of the area, although I like Fatboy Slim, Calvin Harris and the rest, I'd hope to never see another dance/electronic gig held at Marley. Rock gigs are great but I never want to see such a collection of knackers near my house again, unless I'm planning on bombing them of course :)
