In this weather i think it's illegal to walk up through the phoenix park to a stone roses gig without at least 3 cans.

I presume all tickets for these have the word "SUCKER" printed on them in large, bold, red lettering?

That's more like it. Runners it is so! Now where did I put that sun cream.

Will it be possible to get a taxi from town to near the gig in the Park or will the road closures mean you can only access it by foot or on that ridiculously overpriced bus?

The only attire to be worn at this gig shall be. Addidas Zip ups or buttoned up polos, faded jeans, white runners and fisherman hats!

I just drove through the park about 30 mins ago through the Ashtown Gate entrance, which is were the stage will be situated. Spoke to a couple of Gards and asked them what roads will be open. They said that the Ashtown Gate Road and North Road will be closed in a couple of hours but the rest of the southside of the park entrances will be open. So it will be handy to just get a taxi up to the gig.
They also said that there'd be no parking allowed in the park and there did seem to be an awful lot of no parking cones around the place, although there were loads of cars parked around the zoo.

The ground seemed fine, lots of people out running through the short grass. I think there'll be parts of the venue like a swamp, but there seemed to be a lot a bark chippings around the place. I'm gonna chance runners, and just try and avoid the swampy areas. The MCD weather probably has more to do with the fact that it's due to rain again over the weekend for the other 2 gigs.

It's definitely illegal to consume alcohol in public in Ireland. Although with events like this the Gards tend to turn a blind eye as long as you don't take the p1ss.

The easiest way to the concert on public transport is on Dublin Bus routes:
37
38
38a
38b
39
39a
70
These routes all operate to Navan Road @ Ashtown Roundabout which is about 5 min walk to the event.

hi

is the shuttle bus just any old bus?
will it get there any faster that the regular bus,
or have special access or any of that?

basically, is there any advantage in the 9 quid shuttle as against the regular buses, lastly, can i just get one back to the city afterwards

thanks

reprazant

Just get the Luas.

A bit of an extra walk from the luas stop but it would only be about a half hr walk.

Well if someone could just tweet a picture of the current state of the ground in the venue that would help quite a few people live their life in the most appropriate attire for the evening.

Wouldn't that be good too?

billybunty

Great info thanks people. Will a taxi be able to drop us off at ashtown gates does anyone know?
