How many times has he played Ireland in the last year? Olympia x2/EP/Three Arena x2?

Surely everyone has seen him at this stage?!

whiskeyman

That's a nice 'safe' line up and also a good price for a summer gig.
Should sell well.

Anyone know what alcohol they will be selling at this? Im hoping that Heineken have their new cider at it, as i don't drink beer or wine.

Do they still just make you take the lid of the "water" bottles or have you to dump it on the way in.

Anybody got any ideas on what the parking/travel arrangements will be like for this? I'm travelling from Carlow so wondering if there is parking somewhere within walking distance or if it is park and ride (details?)

Torn about going to this at all. Have tickets, and was excited, but Marlay park is such a pain in the t*ts to get to!

cson

If you got the weather they're going to get for Aviici (which will be wasted on them) it'll be a deadly gig.

mejulie805

I just broke and booked onto a coach from home. So getting excited again! Caught some of his set at EP last year (despite none of my friends wanting to go!) and it was surprisingly intense!

Just got an email from TM about banned items and anti social behaviour- wondering if they're expecting trouble :eek:

Its miles away but you may be able to get the last 75 bus. Theres a stop very near the park.

Transport for Ireland have a webpage with all transport information getting to and from the gig. Handy map too!!

Would be incredibly helpful if MCD/Ticketmaster had that transport link on their websites!

Might be worth checking with Dublin Bus about any possible rerouting of the 75 on the night, if you're relying on this.

thesultan

Would I be right on this get the No 7 bus at Drumkeen Manor to Bloomfield Shopping centre and get off at arogs and get the number 75 to Marley?

Movie Maestro

What do people think the ground will be like tomorrow for Paolo? Likely to be in bits after tonights Avicii gig? I know its supposed to rain later tonight

tara83

Anyone know how long the Marathon coaches take to get out and back again after the concert? Hoping to make O Connell st for 12:30 afterwards.

What's the best option to get from city centre and back again?

Tks

Luas from St Stephens Green to Dundrum station takes about 10 minutes. The 14 buses stops across the road. Get the bus to Supervalu in Ballinteer or Stonemasons Way (16 will leave you at stonemasons way as well) and walk ahead straight down the road. There are loads of stewards who will point you in the right direction. the easiest place to get the 14 and 16 leaving town is dolier street. the 14 will leave you in dame street on the way back into town. I think the last luas into town is 12.30 am

I was at Avicii yesterday and I found it pretty good, the usual inflated prices though. Found a nice bright pink place to the right of the stage to get noodles if you're into that, one of the meu items was "Phuket Noodles" I couldn't rests ordering lol cost me €8 but there was a good portion in it considering you're gonna pay €5 for a hot dog.. :eek:

Other than that I noticed there was a Pizza place, Abra Kebabra and the usual burger places..
