Anyone up around the park recently? Have they started on the stage yet? Where is it? What's the ground like? Wellies or runners?

Coldplay are playing Phoenix Park, Dublin on September 14th. Its bound to be an amazing show! Anyone been to a gig in phoenix park before, and if so, what's it like?

Anyone planning on going to this gig? Opinions? [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/user/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]

Phoenix park is right in the city so it’s a perfect location.
It will however be open air so bring your rain coat weather can never be guaranteed.

if you need accommodation we still have beds in our hostels which are right in the city centre, we also have a Coldplay competition running this week if you want to check it out.

Dozo · 10-09-2009 04:10PM

What time will it be finished? Last bus to Maynooth is 23:30 , I am afraid that that will be somewhat optimistic. Not even mentioning the amount of people who want to go on the same bus...

Furious-Red · 10-09-2009 08:32PM

Yea im thinking about going myself but due to the last train/bus going back to kildare is 11 , but since its a bit of a walk i might leave just at the encore if they are not over by just after 10 to make sure i get the train back . Ill prob make up my mind at the weekend

cozziej · 11-09-2009 07:23AM

is it not gonna go on til at least 11?? i can't wait for this...going to Cois F today...hopefully will be fully operational for monday...Elbow AND Coldplay at one gig...ridonkulous.

Zipp101 · 11-09-2009 07:20PM

Anyone know setlists for Elbow or White Lies?

AntoSRFC · 12-09-2009 06:06PM

Can someone please shed some light on a few things for me? Is there much of a walk from the railway station. And is this in a tent or not? Also were will the ticketmaster box be? Thanks

jojo2 · 12-09-2009 06:20PM

ticketmaster says its a 20min walk from heuston station, I'm planning on being at heuston at 5 so will hopefully be at the big top for white lies! the website says the box office is in the park so im sure there will be plenty of signs.
id say itll be a mad long walk back to town, took me 3 hours to get home to maynooth at a gig a couple of years ago! hopefully not as many people at this gig!
cant wait for all 3 bands though!!

AntoSRFC · 12-09-2009 06:31PM

3 hours? Im actualy comming from Maynooth hope it wont take that long have an early start in the morning. I ment to say the pbenix park stop on the maynooth line. There is a stop there right? Is that any closer? Also do you know if its open or a tent? Thanks and sorry for all the queistion.

jojo2 · 12-09-2009 06:40PM

well that was for robbie williams, 125,000 people so you should prob be grand! This is the info I got in an email from mcd:

IARNROD EIREANN
If you are travelling from the south of the country the closest train
station to the Phoenix Park is Heuston Station. If you are travelling from Connolly Station, Ashtown Station (Connolly to Maynooth line)

The mail does say its an outdoor event but I was pretty sure the gig was in the big top tent...could be wrong?!!

Col200sx · 13-09-2009 09:14PM

Does anybody what the story is about getting a beer in the concert?
