Do these camping sites ever sell out?

They would have a finite capacity so I'd imagine the answer would be yes

I stayed there for the Foo's s couple of years ago,pretty sure I seen a few people with the type of set up you're talking about. Can't see it being a problem but you can mail them or message them on FB to ask

Thanks yellowledbetter, should be fine but I'd best give them a holler just in case. Would be fairly annoying to get there ready to crack into some tinnies, only to be turned away!!

Has anyone here been to a recent slane concert in the gold circle, just a bit curious as to how it works, I presume you can go to and fro to bars, merch stands and food stands and toilets etc and get back into the gold circle, do you need to show your ticket to get back in?

The normal procedure is that you'd get a special wristband which allows access to the Golden Circle area.

Hi guys, heading to gig from Dublin, and looking at options. Should I drive? What’ll the drive out of the place be like? Getting the bus could be better?

What about camping?

I’m an auld dude, so won’t be going haywire on the liquor.

I'm also wondering about driving as may not make it up the night before due to work. Will it actually be possible to get near the place in a car on the day or is it shut off for only buses?

Also, I am hearing rumours that backpacks are not aloud into Slane? I usually like to have a bag with spare toilet paper, jacket/plastic mac in case it rains etc...basic essentials for a day in a field!!

Anyone know what the story is?

i'm pretty sure buses will be given priority, we live in Trim and will be getting the Donie Quinn shuttle bus (1 every 20mins from midday), why not park in Trim for free and get the shuttle bus, easy to get to trim from Dublin, no concert traffic, free parking in trim then an even easier drive home from trim as again, no concert traffic

Are there any pubs in Slane accessible on the Saturday ? The FA Cup final KO at 5.30 has thrown a spanner in the works

Anyone know what time it's over just wondering will it be possible to be back in Heuston Station by 9pm for last train home.

It's always possible to be back for the last train alright but you might as well not bother going, you d probably wanna be leaving Slane round 7ish for that train, 8 at the latest. You d miss most of the band's at that including gnr

drunkmonkey

I'll tuff it out just when I seen the start time as 2pm thought they might be on earlier than 7/8.

Afraid not, that's probably when the place opens, wouldn't be surprised if the first band starts round 4ish. Organise accommodation in Slane or maybe better still Dublin

drunkmonkey

Yea might borrow a couch in dublin want to get out of slane once it's over.

Stay in Dublin then, best option to be honest. Tons of buses out of Slane after the gig but large crowd means slow exit. Book bus to Dublin prior to gig

No chance of it being over by then.

The pro 12 final is on in the Aviva stadium the same day so hotels in Dublin may be even harder too get

Yeah, just opens at 2pm to milk people for overpriced pints.

However if you do image searches for slane timetables some acts were on far earlier than I would have expected.



tickets said gates at 3pm, wonder if there was some issue that year.

That would have been a messy crowd

Anyone would have any clue how to get from Dunshaughlin to Slane and back once concert ends?

Cheers.

No chance of them showing that on the big screen pre-GNR I suppose??:P

Leinster do play 'Welcome to the Jungle' when running out on the pitch so there is a tenuous link...:D

I remember the 1st September 2001, Big screen in Slane, Orange wave in Lansdowne road and Jason McAteer sent the crowd ballistic.

My mate might have pulled out, where would one be be able to sell a ticket ?

Yup, I was at that one too. Will never forget the goal for as long as i live.

Awesome atmosphere...only to be brought back down to earth by Nelly Furtado (or was it Moby by that time of the day?)

I forgot Moby was on that day. Was a bit of a blur really, lots of drinking was done to celebrate I'm sure. I do remember loosing all me mates though and making my way back to Dublin on my own having a great sing song on the bus with a load of strangers!!!

I remember the previous week better with the Chilli Peppers, that was class.
