They successfully sold out two shows but they didn't really do it for me. I doubt if they'd cut it on a big outdoor stage, especially as it will be summer and they won't have Fairytale of New York to fall back on.

Still good time to sell tickets to get the Christmas present market.
€50 is a bit steep for them though.

A gig too much

For a big outdoor gig its fairly cheap , especially with 2 or 3 more acts to be added probably someone like Walking on Cars

This is true as I can't imagine anyone personally paying to see Kodaline.

I saw them in marley park last year where they supported KOL and they were outstanding. I know being a support act is a lot easier with shorter time on stage etc, but I actually thought they were better than KOL and the crowd acknowledged that I thought. Headlining this venue will be a big test for them though...

Lights On

Could someone explain to me how these lads have gotten so big? From what I've heard of them the music is pretty middle of the road stuff and the few reviews of their albums I've seen have been brutal on them. Is it because they are Irish? Because I honestly can't get my head around it

Have to say I'm a huge fan, their first album was excellent. Most recent one probably not as good but some really good songs on there. It's hard to see them getting much bigger though, i have a feeling headlining marley park might be too much.

princemuzzy

i like these lads really do but can't see them coming close to selling this out

that said if you told me the ****ing script would sell out cooker id have laughed hard in your face

Jess Glynne was the main reason I picked up a ticket, I can see a large portion of the crowd going to see here alone..

Any Update on stage times for this gig? Or what time could Kodaline be expected to be on stage??

Saw these guys in Kilmainham last year. Got in for a tenner at about 9.15 (God bless the touts).

Without knowing too many of their tunes, I thought they were really good. Finishing up with All I want was “put the hair standing on the back of your neck” stuff.

Very personable with the crowd too.

is it jesse glynne and walking on cars that are support?

Sorry, no clue. I've been to one concert in the last 15 years. :pac:

The missus is heading to this with her friends.

What's the best way to get to Marley Park? Dublin bus regular route or the special busses from George's Quay? What Dublin bus routes bring you nearest the venue?

Nearest places would be the Eden and Ballinteer House, both pretty good food as far as I know

The area around marley is heavily policed and lots of stewards on the streets around the park. Mostly to prevent illegal parking, people drinking and stashing drink i the bushes, littering and spot trouble makers.
But I have not seen one tout in the vicinity in the last 3 years (I am a local resident).
So I dont think it is likely, but you never know.

If you haven't got sorted, or anyone else is looking for tickets, try toutless there seems to be a few people on there with tickets to sell cause of last minute drop-outs.

Strange-ish question here...

What beers were on sale within the venue?

Is there any type of selection at all or is it just Heineken?

Orchard Thieves Cider, Heineken and Desperado @ €6 a pop. I'd recommend buying 4 at once. The wait times for the bar were frustrating.

Thought Kodaline were fantastic. The amount of drunk kids around the place wrecked my head.

What was the park itself like? worth wearing wellies to the stone roses tomorrow?

Is that it? Just the choice of those 3?

Pints or bottles?

I'll be leaving it as late as possible to go in so.

Thanks.

What's the ground like? Mucky at all? Wondering about boots or trainers for tomorrow. Would prefer trainers.

As far as i know they sell vodka and wine as well, if any use to you.

For those querying the ground it was fine. Id say its about 70% grass and then they had kind of a plastic surface nearer the stage. Not mucky at all. You could wear a good pair of shoes in. That is providing it doesn't rain heavy tomorrow.

Did anyone get the Marathon Bus from George's Quay out to this? How long was the journey? More importantly, what time were you back in town??! Going to the Stone Roses tonight and want to be back in town before midnight if possible.

but1er

Kodaline where fantastic.

Jess Glynn very good

I felt old at 24 was mad.

Is the set up inside smaller then previous years?

The bar use to be to the left and right of the stage instead of infront of the stage?

bennyc

Was there much of a search going in. Brother had a bottle of wine down his trousers last year for Paolo Nutini and didn't get stopped .

jimosterberg

Hope everyone enjoyed the gig. Going to the Stone Roses later and was wondering was there a pit up the front for Kodaline?

Should be back in town within half an hour... getting onto the bus will be the time consuming but I'd imagine.

Did the bar in Marlay Park accept card, or better yet contactless?

ah here, you're going to an outdoor gig. Just bring cash.

The queue to get a drink is usually a long wait. Why would you want to make people behind you queue longer by wanting to pay by card.

A contactless transaction would be quicker than cash in fairness.

Contactless is faster as no need to give out change etc
