    Could park at the petrol station in castleknock or the primary school or at myos and walk up. It's about a ten-fifteen minute walk but you're nearly guaranteed a spot in one of them.

    Guaranteed a better crowd
    just make sure everyone wears wellies
    it was pretty messy on Thursday night
    I found entering and leaving via the Ashtown Gate the best
    hopefully the weather stays dry for it.

    No unsubstantiated claims about deaths please.


    There's no evidence of them. We've already had to lock one thread over them.

    Superquinn carpark in Ashtown and just walk in the Ashtown gate, I'm not sure if it's free or not.

    Does anyone know what the deal is with pit passes? It is a queue like Oxegen or is it with wristbands like Marley Park?

    I emailed MCD about bike parking and got no response. We'll just lock up to a railing somewhere in the park, anyone know if we'll have trouble bringing a set of bike lights into the gig in a backpack?

    Who ever is planning on going home via the Luas have a back up plan they canceled it last night due to crowds. They said Heuston would be closed alright but Museum would be opened but they closed that too! Was only going from black horse to Tallaght! Pain in the ass for people who parked in the red cow! Think they cancelled ones going into the city too!!

    You're much better off paying the toll on the M50, coming off at Blanch and parking around the Ashtown area.



    What time would you need to be in there today for pit passes?

    Trying to get back to the red cow could be trouble, like it was for me last night when the Luas was stopped!

    Just looking at the train times from Ashtown and the last one back into Dublin leaves at half seven. Shame that they can't organise public transport for this.

    I live in Ashtown and the music is feckin LOUD. I'm all for people enjoying themselves at outdoor gigs, but I'm getting sick of the noise pollution from the Park gigs.

    Anyway, hope the weather clears up for everyone tonight.

    Music louder now than the last few days (Ashtown), Much better behaved crowd today, small group outside the Halfway House no one looking drunk.
    Heard that the park is the pits, no amount of straw will sort it out.
