Trouble at Tiesto/Calvin Harris tonight at the o2

flynnlives · 19-12-2013 11:20PM #1

A dance music gig has been marred after over 20 people were arrested.
The O2 in Dublin was packed to the rafters as thousands piled in for the Calvin Harris performance on Thursday night.
But before the Scottish DJ took to the stage there had been at least six held for drunk and disorderly behaviour.
That number then spiked to over 20 - with one man arrested for possession of drugs.

it seems the riot squad have been deployed outside the o2 as well.

When I used to go to Creamfields there'd be groups of 20 arrested before they got off the bus

Drunk and disorderly?

Were they drinking from the bottle?

Mint Aero · 19-12-2013 11:33PM

Ban gigs! Ban concerts! Ban drink! Ban young people!! Ahhhhhh, it's the end of the world!!!

I was on the bus heading towards town earlier and it was fully of drunken fools heading to the o2.

They were chucking bottles out of the window and were told to get off.

If ever the atmosphere was right for trouble it was tonight...the only thing that might lkeep a lid on it is teh cold weather.

"Tiesto/Calvin Harris"

The top-40 dance music fodder always attracts rowdy crowds for some reason. Most big gigs have a loud group, but there's something about these acts that just seem to have an air of notoriety around them. Not sure I'd line either's pockets with my money to be honest, they're way overrated and loaded as it is.

It's almost as if theres a certain kind of music that seems to attract this crowd. If only we could identify it.

Random IQ testing could work...

Sure there's trouble at every concert, drink and drugs go lore its just the guards are on their toes because of what happened in the phoenix park

xzanti · 20-12-2013 12:02AM

Kicking off big time now, all Luas has been cancelled.

Tune into FM104, Crossy is live on the phone from outside, they're just chucking out now

NuckingFacker · 20-12-2013 12:09AM

I'm shocked. Next there'll be trouble at scooter and deadmaus gigs. The world has gone mad. Is there a precedence for these incidences? I'm guessing this will affect our international reputation and scare away tourists.

Also where the fcuk is my 17 year old. He said he was going to "a play" in Dublin but was a bit vague. If I see the fecker on tomorrows six-one he's for the high jump.

I worked at a Tiesto "gig" when it was the Point. It was just like christmas day for scumbags.

"Play fuckin' peace train" was heard from members of the audience at one stage.
