Any more on transport to/from Dublin for this?

Had a cursory not in depth Google and didn't see anything.

I do not want to be standing on the side of the road with paint falling off my shoes etc.

There is a train alright, surely will add some after. Surprised travelmaster aren't going from Dublin

PTH2009 · 23-04-2019 2:33pm

might go to this but waiting til very near the show where i might pick up a cheap ticket

23-04-2019 7:06pm

Yes had a look at Travelmaster and they only seem to be running coaches from Kerry/Cork/Limerick et al.

Getting very pensive, going to check the trains now but worried about returning in the pm more so than getting down.

Maybe contact Irish rail to see if there are plans for a late train. An event like this in that location would be mad not to have transport afterwards.

Heres a picture of the airport bus from 1962. Its still the main way to get the to airport. Nearly 60 years later.

We have a third world public transport systtem. So you know, dont get your hopes up.

Tickets sales for this seem to have picked up, standing all gone now, plenty of seats left at high prices.

No. The sh1tty expensive seats weren't selling so they stopped all standing ticket sales for the moment so people panic buy the sh1tty expensive seats.

Standing tickets will be back on sale in a few weeks.

Did they ever announce any of the support for the early evening slots? The London gig have Laura marling and Cat Power but pretty sure that won't be the case in Kilkenny.

Would be decent support. Laura Marling supported NY in the point a few years ago.

Ricosruffneck · 08-05-2019 12:36pm

Laura Marling is amazing and rarely plays Ireland.

I just want a stand alone show for her.

08-05-2019 1:39pm

Still nothing on transport from Dublin and the cretins in Irish Rail have not even mailed me back.

Glen Hansard and Band added too the days bill

Cant really see that helping to sell tickets. He is very bland on his own, maybe with a backing band he may be better. Looks like I'll watching Glen Hansard play support twice in July as he is also support to Eddie Vedder.

The way tickets are selling for this concert you think they would have gone for somebody better.

I like this addition, but i get ya, seeing as tickets are slow moving, one might have expected more, and.i don’t think there will be further additions, gates open at 4pm, i assume Glen on around 5ish, and has to finish by about 10.30pm, plus time for stage changes/setup etc, it doesent leave much room for another support act.

PTH2009 · 13-05-2019 8:09pm

Holding out and see can I get a cheaper ticket the week of the show

yeah, it looks like Glen from 5 to 5.30pm something like that, then Neil or Bob whichever is first on around 6 to 8pm, then last act around 8.30 to 10.30.
Kind of hoping its Bob Dylan first on and Neil last, as Neil & Promise of the Real rocking the place would be a better ending.

Its Bob on last, he’s the name on the top of the list, same at the Hyde Park gig.

I am going exclusively to see Neil, have zero interest in Bob. The reality is, Neil won’t be touring for much longer, allthough he mentioned a solo accoustic tour for later this year in Europe as an option for him,if this transpires, that is likely to mean another Vicar Street run of gigs like 2003, which were truly sublime.. warning- Neil said this, prior to him, going into the studio with Crazy Horse- and an album has been recently completed and apparently is out later this year

I guess your right about the billing.

I am going for Neil + Promise of the real also. Bob Dylan while once a great singer, his voice is crap these days and his performance has a lounge act feel to it.

A Neil Young solo tour or with a Crazy Horse tour would be great, I guess we will have to wait and see how that turns out. The new Crazy Horse album should be interesting.

Long oul set, in fairness. Falling Very Slowly...

The Nal · 14-05-2019 10:04am

There isn't a hope Dylan is on last lads.

Zwillinge · 14-05-2019 10:06am

Holding out until I've an idea of any means of transport to and from Dublin.

Be good to see Neil Young. I've seen Bob Dylan before and that man would put years on you!

Just cant see that happening at an outdoor show. Following Neil and the new band doesn't make sense. Knopfler, yeah, fair enough but Neil new band are a different beast.

If Bob plays last how many will leave after Neil?

Probably not many, until Bob comes on and mutters incoherently over a song that nobody can recognise, then people might start to leave alright. Id stay for the whole thing regardless. Imagine shelling out that much for one gig and then leaving half way through!

TM just sent an email confirming times :

Take Note!

Neil Young: 6.15pm

Just received an email, which should clear up confusion:

Neil Young: 6.15pm
Bob Dylan: 9pm

Layne · 14-05-2019 3:16pm

Just got email from Ticketmaster.
And it's official....Bob last on at 9pm, Neil on at 6.15 and Glen Hansard on at 5.00.

Well he did at Oldchella. Great they're on the same bill but a huge misstep.

Yep but going from a lively rock (bordering on heavy grunge at times) show to Dylan and his jazz band. Extremely capable jazz band nonetheless but still.

I've had to stay in Carlow cos accommodation in Kilkenny is fully booked. I'm assuming that i won't have too much trouble getting a bus/taxi there and back - am i barking up the wrong tree here though? I want to be able to drink so want to leave the car in Carlow

PTH2009 · 14-05-2019 8:34pm

Still on the fence about this gig

From Waterford so it's not a long journey up the road but ticket price is too high (hoping too pick up a cheap on if I do go) and as cool as it would be too see these legends the songs I've heard are not the most exciting and could be a disaster live with people talking and shouting all the way through it

Have had this before at these legacy type of gigs, which are usually full of event junkies who alas, have little interest in the music, so in recent years, have been going up close to the front, and its way better up there. They usually rail off a big area in front of the stage, so will be in there. Caught Bruce in same place when he was there and it was perfect, so long as you get in early, as its limited to a few thousand in there, first come first served, wristband in and out access - the usual, and they usually don’t over pack the area. Staying in Kilkenny on Saturday night, and leaving most likely, shortly after NY finishes.will give Bob a chance, but have no real interest. Neils the man, and he’s never dissapointed me,

Tommo3434343 · 14-05-2019 9:53pm

Impossible to get accommodation for this it seems. Me and my friends were thinking of camping somewhere near Kilkenny for the night as we want to go out in the town after the gig. Anyone know of anywhere that would be suitable? As close to the town as possible obviously. Cheers.

I don’t but you might get somewhere closer to the time, cancellations happen, alternatively, and there should be a good choice of transport options come up closer to the gig, i was lucky, as soon as i heard the rumoured dates i booked immediately.
