Snow Patrol Malahide Castle 7 June 2019

Bought herself tickets to see Snow Patrol in Malahide Castle, just looking at transport and accommodation options now and doesn't look too promising - she will be 6 months pregnant by the time it comes around so really looking for a quick exit afterwards.

Seems to be almost no accommodation locally and reading that it's near impossible to get a taxi afterwards?

What time do the Malahide gigs usually finish up?

In time for the last DART if thats an option.

buses, DARTs, pre-book a taxi, drive, get a lift after...

it'll finish between 10:30-11

Michael Buble is in the 3 Arena so thats making hotels scarce
I have Malahide Castle booked -might be worthwhile checking there to see if they get any cancellations?

Cheers, I booked Croke Park Hotel, nearest place that wasn't €€€. Do you know is it much of a walk from the venue to Malahide village, and any good spots for a post-gig pint or two?

Hmmm......this is very interesting. Think I might book flights! Why does it say 5 pm as the time?!

Maybe tell the audience to shut up this time so that they can hear the band, I remember listening to the Oxegen broadcast probably either 2007 or 2008 when they were doing Chasing Cars and the audience sang the song which defeats the purpose of listening to the band doing it.

About 15-20 minutes walk under normal circumstances. Good town for a pint. Gibenys, Duffy’s, Fowler’s and Wrights are the four pubs. All very close to each other.

Did you try hotels/B&Bs in Portmarnock? It’s very close by.

Ah sure its only one song and i was even there for it. I dont see the big issue with the crowd singing along with their favourite songs , is that not the point of going to a gig?

I was there too, ah there's something magic about the whole crowd singing along though.

Lookin forward to this gig, the one before Christmas was class, hope the weather picks up from todays misery!

Hopefully there's a good crowd. Seems to be a mad push on tickets everywhere but i'm assuming it's cos they've a pretty large capacity?

Any idea about stage times or could ye guess based on previous Malahide gigs? Bit of a trek on a Friday after work.

Big Big push on tickets - its a large venue and they have played here a lot in the last year
They also only played Ward Park the end of May circa 30,000 people

They came on about 9 / 9.15 then

Weather forecast looks a bit ****e for tomorrow night.

but1er · 07-06-2019 9:29am

Light rain from 6pm buzzing.. Get the wellys out

oLoonatic · 07-06-2019 9:38am

Have times been announced yet???

Nope, I'm guessing 7.30 kooks and 9 snow patrol

CBear1993 · 07-06-2019 10:53am

Do you think Kooks will be 7:30 then? Trying to guess what time to arrive into Malahide on the Dart at.

Coming from Ashtown train station it's a bit of a bollocks timewise.

Looking at the forecast we might get lucky with no rain! Is malahide castle a mess in wet weather i.e should you wear rough shoes?

BadTurtle · 07-06-2019 11:06am

I wouldnt think itd be too bad. Its quite spacious as a gig set up, and seeing as the gig hasnt sold out Id say itd be ok for the most part. The spot directly in front of the stage will cut up, but the ways in and out and general open area of the arena should all be fine.

Anyone heard any news / see any pics from the gig?

Not interested in how it went, just hoping they don't mess up the ground for tomorrow

It's fine, mighty fine dry evening!! And a great gig at that too ðŸ˜

Cracking gig good setlist band flying form and the bar not to bad either

MillField · 10-06-2019 4:13pm

Great gig, really enjoyed it. They sounded great and played all the classics. The Kooks were good too albeit with a slightly dead crowd.

Shlippery · 10-06-2019 4:20pm

We got lucky as well, seems they've had to cancel next few gigs...

Yes he hurt it at the gig in Dublin / after the gig
as they cut their set short in Belgium the next day as he was in so much pain

Worried when he doesnt have any movement in it
hopefully no lasting injuries
