BadTurtle

The Pit, also known as the "Golden Circle" is the front area of the stage which is sometimes closed off. Access to this area is often provided by purchasing a more expensive ticket (Beyonce, Rihanna etc. had this) or by arriving early to the gig (The Script and Phoenix park gigs did this).

When access is based upon arriving early it normally ends up as a cluster of actual fans of the artist instead of the hardcore selfie crews (IMO). However, as Furious-Red and BadTurtle mentioned there will be none at this gig sadly..

Does anyone have stage times?

Apparently Disclosure should be on stage around 9pm, checked with MCD. Not sure about support acts.

Not long back here and I have to say I really enjoyed it! I managed to get to the barrier right as Disclosure came on which was great, although I left it half way through their set in favor of a position a little further back. This was because I was missing all the visuals since the stake at RHK is so high and the barrier is close to the stage. Vince Staples wasn't my thing but I enjoyed it. Disclosure themselves were amazing as I expected!

The RHK venue itself is well setup with the beer right at the back of it all, the weather was so-so lol, there was one really bad shower that left me absolutely soaked. Thankfully I went back for my jacket when leaving the car. IMO the crowd was grand, not too rough or anything although I'm sure others may have had a different experience as with all outdoor venues the crowd can be great in one area and skangered in another.

Great night at it, live close by so missed that heavy shower. Main Stage set up and the bar were in a great positions.
Played a good mix of the 2 albums, seen no trouble what so ever, plenty of Gardai about like FF.

BadTurtle

Crowd would put me off going to an outdoor electronic/rap gig again. It was like a leaving cert party.
Vince Staples himself was great. Sound was off for the first few songs and the crowd were ****e, hadn't a clue who he was. Such a waste of a real star.
Disclosure were good, the decent songs were better live, the average ones were still average. nice lightshow.

Yes it was

Saw lots of mud covered people as I was passing through town last night!

BadTurtle

Yeah it was ridiculous. That layout of the toilets down the hill works fine for small sized gig crowds like Sigur Ros but this was absolutely jointed so it turned into a mudslide before even Vince Staples was on. Wasn't helped by the amount of howiya's absolutely locked continuously knocking themselves and others over but the planning was poor. Should've had at least another toilet area set up to curb the flow.

Was it a skangerfest?

PetKing

Heading to Faithless Saturday night. Would ye recommend wellies for the gig? Were many at Disclosure wearing them?

Furious-Red

No wellies needed

Based on what I seen there were a few there but everyone seemed to be just enjoying themselves and for the most part sticking to their own groups. Plenty of underage locked for sure but that's the age group Disclosure attract.

Nope no one that I seen anyway, the mud was sue to one massive downpour which lasted about 15 mins, the weather was grand other than that so I'd imagine it should be fairly dried out by now. Might see can I grab a last minute Faithless ticket myself. Caught half their set at Oxygen a while back and they were phenomenal.
