    They had the merchandise behind the tower at Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott (possibly at other shows too), so you couldn't miss it as you approached the stage. I don't know why they moved it, but I agree it was a bit understated where it was.

    I was at two St. Anne's Park concerts this year and thought it worked really well. The only downside is the slight bottleneck and delay at the end of the night, since - unlike, say, Malahide Castle - they don't have any alternate exit routes to allow people to filter out. However, once you're back out on the avenue, it's fine.

    I'd definitely go to shows there again. It's a very convenient location for me anyway, so I'd go to anyone I was remotely interested in.

    I'm really curious to see how Fairview Park is done now. I'm going to Phoebe Bridgers and St. Vincent over the next fortnight.

    Well this did not go well at all.

    Got the bus journey out as indicated on info and got to venue within twenty minutes, ideal I thought.

    I headed towards exit as Rio played out, when I turned around stewards had lined it and were directing everyone towards the now only exit so there was my first blunder.

    I looked I had an hour to meet my deadline by this point. As I exited coming to turnoffs I asked a Dub guy the story with buses and taxis and he told me it was the other way...he was bluffing it turned out whoever you are; tip for future just tell someone you don't know, further inquiry to a steward confirmed I'd been sent the wrong way.

    Anyway outside no taxis to be seen, Reached bus stop to see bus pull away of course, saving 30 seconds would have made this...crucial it turned out...next bus didn't come 'til as scheduled on timetable 20 mins or so later. More buses were to be put said the info well that was obvs BS. I got on bus with a handful however at next the next stop the hordes piled on. I knew the mare was well on and inevitably when the Dub bus reached the city my bus home was gone without me.

    So yeah...spent over 7 hours or so biding my time on the streets of Dublin until morning to get the next bus, at least it wasn't very cold heh and I made it on time for work.

    ....At least the gig was very enjoyable before all that!!

    It would have surprised me if any additional public transport would have been put in place. I don't think that ever happened at any concert in Dublin.

    If public transport in this country wasn't so incompetent, or unwilling, or whatever, they'd have put a dozen buses down Sybil Hill Rd to start with, going directly into city centre and keep that going for a while.
