    I am BUZZING for this. I live about a 10 minute walk away, ideal and a great lineup.

    Just did a quick spin round some official sites looking for day info for some of the electronica acts...

    Kalkbrenner's site specifically has 20/7 (Saturday)
    Hot Chip, Trentemoller are vague, just listing the weekend
    SBTRKT is playing Melt on the Saturday so I guess Fri or Sun for him

    With the ease of access form Marlay park to outside, I wonder will MCD increase security, at least for the main stage for this? I know from Green Day, people found it easy to stroll in without a ticket.

    At the Kasabian gig last year they had the place well locked down. The whole park was closed for a few days while the various gigs were on.

    Id say the only reason they had extra security at Kasabian was because after the Pheonix Park gigs , but hopefully you are right they keep it up . Even Indiependence had extra security checks last year

    Yep. Wider appeal, higher chance of like-events landing on front pages of the Irish Times or other media, etc. Oxegen did have some rock bands, though it's telling that the last large scale metal festival-like event MCD promoted was Ozzfest back in 2002. It must have done poorly, and Ozzy Osbourne cancelling didn't help.

    The whole concert site was fenced in with 10 foot fences (think they were metal - they were sprayed with graffiti). I was up in the park while they were setting up and they fenced the full perimeter. On top of this they closed the whole park which as far as I remember was a first for the Marley Park gigs (I live down the road and am always up there with the wife and kids).

    It might have had something to do with the SHM. Or they might have realised that a load of people were bunking in in previous years The security going in was the tightest I've ever seen at a gig (and I've been to tons over the years). Metal detectors, sniffer dogs and full body searches. I heard they were strip searching people they suspected of carrying drugs. The queues were a nightmare getting in but at least nobody was stabbed :pac:

    if only the security on the day in marlay was as tight as the moderation of this thread. i think its common knowledge the scum will be there saturday so i might just go fri and sun, if only they were on boards and could confirm.

    tbh i'm hoping for that at eminem.. it's probably the only gig I'll go to I'll even be happy too see a metal detector at :L

    At GD in 2010, I walked in, from the middle of a que wasn't stopped once and asked for a ticket, my friend went for a walk from the centra, again ended up right beside me in the pit.. were horrific checks.. if Security is anythig like that again I may just chance my luck in July

    I think you hold a very simplistic view of things

    It seems the HIP thing nowadays for Festivals to live stream over YouTube, wonder will one of the Irish Festivals make the plunge soon? be pretty cool me thinks.

    I don't know what's with all this scare stuff about potential trouble. It's completely the wrong type of lineup for your average knife wielding knackerjack.

    That was in the wake in SHM and was completely over the top, they were throwing people out for getting on someones shoulders without a warning and what not, I hated that atmosphere.

    A happy medium is required, and with that line up there's no need for such heavy handed security.

    Anyone have any idea what day Foals are likely to be playing? If I could manage to get YeahYeahYeahs and them in one day I'd be happy with a day ticket!

    There's no way the scum will be there on Saturday or any day for that matter... they split up in January http://www.nme.com/news/scum--2/68165

    Having just booked a theatre in London and a gig in Glasgow, I decided that it will be one day for me. My only "must-see" is Kraftwerk and I'd consider 45 to see them a good value. So I'm gonna buy the ticket without knowing the full line-up. most likely I will end-up with 1-2 more bands that I like.

    I don't understand this at all. Why are loads of "scum" going to go just because it's Saturday? It makes no sense to me.

    Hot Chip just have listed on their website, 19th - 21st, all day but if you click on the link "Hot Chip Dublin" and scroll down, it seems to list 19th July. That'll make it a weekender for me so.
