Argos don't seem to have that available anywhere in dublin city centre. Is there any other bricks & mortor stores that would have a solar charger?

How do you plan to use a solar charger? I've never been to oxegen, But surely you'd have to put this outside during the day and then you'd have to stay there and watch it to make sure it's not stolen?

http://www.mophie.com/juice-pack-air-p/1059_jpa-ip3g-blk.htm something like this could be of use to you, its essentially a battery add on that claims to double the battery

heres the apple store link but I'm sure it could be found cheaper http://store.apple.com/ie/product/TV809ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

This is what i would get.
Wind up torch with phone charger too.

I think wind up be better as you can never rely on the sun, plus its always handy to have a torch.

That's why I never go to Oxegen anymore. I'm heading to Rock Werchter in Belgium and then working the Leeds Festival as well

Yes, definitely, the torch is a good idea...and wind up chargers are more practical
