    What's the capacity of Marley Park gigs?

    Anyone who's been care to comment on it as a venue?
    What's it like getting to & from / queueing to get in and out etc?

    edit: oh and p.s. if you wanna play in an Arcade Fire tribute, hit up my ad in Musicians available or wanted!

    I think a couple of years ago the David Guetta and Kasabian gigs were 25 - 30,000 capacity.

    Could this be a Longitude headliner?

    Longitude was in July last year and the capacity was capped at only at 10,000. So I doubt it.

    In and around 30,000. It's a great venue, sometimes.
    I saw Metallica there and the sound was utterly woeful for all the support bands. Mastodon and Alice in Chains sounded horrible.
    It had improved greatly for Longitude this year, I actually thought it was much better.

    It can be a pain to get from, though. Parking is scarce so public transport is your best option, and the buses are all jammed. Even the event buses end up being crappy...
    I can't see there being big queues to get in, I think AF cater to an older crowd for the most part, so there won't be crazed 14 year olds camping out :P

    Hugely excited for this, they were amazing in the 02 a few years back!

    If it does so happen to be Marley Park I'd say about €60 or so since it would be basically a full day of music.

    Any ideas on who'd be supporting? Not a huge Arcade Fire fan but I'd say they full lineup will be pretty good!

    I am a huge Arcade Fire fan and I like Marlay park to a point BUT outdoor shows in June always lack atmosphere. the days are long and most of the set will be played in daylight. Atmosphere in daylight is never the same and the full effect of the stage show cannot be seen either.

    Id hope to catch them in an Arena somewhere. Looks like they are nailed on for Glastonbury too with a June tour. Thats where it would be good to see them.

    2 arena dates in London in June too. Another date in Dublin in Autumn likely too I reckon.

    Kinda hoping they'd do the O2 again instead.

    Mainly for the selfish reason of the Priority tix. :o
