You're right, generally it means no professional equipment. You'll be fine with a standard small camera, sure you only have to go to any gig now to see how many people bring cameras.

The no cameras rule is generally just there on the t&c's as a legal disclaimer.

But having said that, "if" they wanted to they could confiscate the camera or refuse admission but I've never ever seen it being done.

I'm also sweatin' about bringing my camera. Is it likely to be confiscated, dya' think?

This is what I have.



It's tiny, fits in the palm of your hand, but the picture quality is amazing.

Thing is, it cost me €400. And I really, really don't want it taken off me.

Will I chance it?

"Ah sure gwan" isn't the best advise I was hoping for, but thanks for the reply.

I think I'll bring it. I could always hide it in my underwear.

Will everyone else in here be bringing a camera?

On the off-chance that they do take it, is there any hope of ever getting it back, I wonder? Do they throw confiscated stuff into a big skip along with all the drink they take from people coming in? :P

1. You will not get drink through the barriers. It will be taken off you and thrown in a skip. Either drink it before you get to the barrier or keep your money and buy it when you get down.

2. The village is closed to all traffic from 10am. No cars will get in or out of the village after this time even if you have a residence pass. Prior to 10am you will need to have a residence pass to drive into the village.

3. You will not be let sleep in your car in the VIP carpark although if your too drunk to drive there's not a lot they can do about you

4. The journey from Parnell Sq to Slane will depend on what time your getting the bus. An early bus should take and hour, a late one could take 2 and then you'll have to spend at least 30mins walking.

5. Read the thread and stop asking the same questions!!!

It's true.

Westlife have been drafted in as a last minute replacement.

Hey guys, how long will the journey from Parnell street to Slane be, and when we get off at slane how longs the walk to the concert be or will it drop us off right outside..

Travelling by myself and meeting my friends there so I'm pretty freaked out

1. Stage
2. Where the Bus Stops
3. Entrance to the Main Gate
4. Entrance to the Venue
5. Castle

The Bus will leave you as close to No. 2 as it can get but depending on traffic it could be a good bit further down south.

The killer walk is from No. 3 to No. 4 through the forest, always seems to take ages.

will i look like total knob if i wear wellies...never been to an outdoor gig in my life the new boyfriend is obsessed with oasis, im afraid ill stand out like a sore thumb!

i realize this is the stupidest question ever but im worried!

Oh you'll need the wellies; it's a gig you're going to, not a fashion shoot. Even if you *did* stick out like a sore thumb (and you won't), you'll ruin any pair of shoes you have if, heaven forbid, it should rain.

Was at the Stones in '07 and everybody had wellies. Sure the long walk and the standing and all that isn't quite as comfy as it would be in your normal shoes, but you can clean the wellies and protect your keks.
