Right ppl, I'll see ye at the gig, I'm off home now to join the que.
Enjoy it, hope the thunder showers stay away

This may sound ridiculous, and I'm pretty sure that I know the answer already, but does everyone who wants to get into the pit have to queue up? By any chance, can one person hold a place for others?

I have a feeling that the answer will definitely be no.

Just seen this on Facebook mite be of use to somebody, im not connected in any way to the hotel.

Step House Hotel
Hi everyone, are any of you going to see Bruce this weekend in Kilkenny? Well we have a couple of rooms left and 5 self catering cottages available on Sunday night, we are located a mere 25 minutes from Kilkenny City PLUS we do not charge extortionate prices like Kilkenny hotels are charging for accommodation this weekend.....even if you have to fork out for a taxi, you will still be making a saving. Call reception on 0599773209 for more details...

Does anybody know the roll-call time/times for tomorrows pit in the morning?

Does anyone know if you can bring bottled water in? Do they take it off you? I think at slane I had to remove the caps.

At thomond you could bring in water and food, just had to take the cap off the bottle, keep a few in your pocket until you get in

On the Wrecking Ball Weekend website it says 'No alcoholic drinks or plastic bottles are permitted.' Does anyone know for certain if you can't bring in anything?
