My first gig was last summer.
19th of June - Ardgillan Castle.

REM supported by Moby, the Zutons, and the Devlins.

REM were fantastic, Ardgillan is a great venue, and it was one of the nicest days of the whole summer. Everyone was lying down on the grass, just relaxing, waiting for the music.

So that was the first one, went to 3 that week! Kinda hooked now!

Bob Sakamano

Vibe For Phile - Thin Lizzy - Point Theatre I think 1996. I was only 14 and I went with my dad how cool was that. Good concert considering I only knew the one song.

Explosive_Cornflake

Mine was garbage in the point, 97 or 98, i forget which.

Blisterman

Tenacious D In the Ambassador summer 02. Great show.

Toast

Embarrisingly enough it was Bryan Adams in the point back in 96. I was volunteering for a charity and working their stall in there. The first one I went to and paid for was the Tripp to Tipp which I pretty much went to for the Prodigy. I recently found my ticket ... 33punts for prodigy, manics, kula shaker, foos, reef, and the cardigans. 1997. :-( Last time prodigy played it was about the same price for just them.

Mr Rivers

Mine was Green Day in 2000, support from Bouncing Souls and cost me £15. Cool gig but aint that much of a fan of them since.

Mr. Presentable

Auto da Fe - 81/82-ish. Baggot Inn

Evil Sausage

First gig was My Little Funhouse in the Atlantic Hotel in Ballybunion around '94/'95.

First proper outdoor gig was REM Slane '95, support from Luka Bloom, Belly, Sharon Shannon, Spearhead and Oasis.

mickymg2003

My first was Rhcp with The foo fighters and Queens of the Stone Age at slane. Was only really there for QOTSA. It was fookin brilliant!! Have yet to see slane top that line-up.

It wasn't me!

RHCP and Pixies in Phoenix Park. After that gig I loved the Pixies more than ever and disliked RHCP.

U2, supported by Ash
Lansdowne Rd, August 1997
PopMart Tour

Ash were pathetic, really made U2 look much better than they really were/are.

But it was a great gig nevertheless...

ArcadeFred

RHCP in Lansdowne, June (?) 2002. Support from New Order at their worst, The Walls and....Red Lemon? Thought the gig was great at the time cos I had nothing to compare it to but it really was a bit ****. If I remember correctly, the sound was bollocks and there wasn't that much of an atmosphere the gig was over before it was even dark.

blastman

AC/DC - RDS Simmonscourt, October 23rd, 1982 (the For Those About To Rock Tour, complete with cannon!). Support by Y&T.

Now that was a hell of a first gig!

My very first concert experience was one day after my 16th birthday: Udo Lindenberg with special guest Gianna Nannini on March 14th 1983 in Offenbach/Germany and this is where I got infected with the concert-go virus.
