Bruce doesn't have support bands apart from festivals. 3.5 hours is normally enough!

hi all

Does anyone know (or maybe you have seen the stage setup in t park) how big the pit is in limerick for tuesday? Will it be as big as the rds last summer which was at least half the pitch size.

any info appreciated,

So having bought a ticket for the Thomond gig for christmas, thinking that a bunch of other people were as well, I'm now faced with going to the tuesday gig on my own. I dont mind, but I've actually never been to Limerick before, and I'm not sure is there any way I can get a bus back after the concert to Dublin. Does anyone know of any companies that do late services? Id rather not fork out for a b&b, or y'know, sleep in a phone booth.

yes. to get into the pit, you will need to be there before half 4, but that's going to be a grand time.

There's no point going to Bus Éireann or Irish Rail. They don't have buses or trains running that late.

Any idea where he's staying in Cork? :P Some stalking might be in order :pac:

nihicib2

Thinking of getting tickets for the Sat night in Kilkenny but don't want to choose the postage method on Ticketmaster as Im afraid they wouldn't arrive on time, I've never used the box office before. Does anyone have any idea how it works and where it would be at Nolan Park?

5pm is just the time the doors open as far as I know, he'll probably be on about 7.30 or so
