Could anyone tell me some popular Yelawolf songs I should be familiar with?

Throw it up is decent enough not sure of his new stuff though.

Delighted to see that Criminal and Still adopt Give A **** are on the setlist, that's only twenty songs there and IIRC in Belfast and most of the Recovery tour he done about 5 more, so we could see more added.

As for the support order I'd say it'll go something like:

Chance, Plan B, Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, Earl & Tyler, then Em.

Me and a few lads are staying at Slane Farm Hostel, just gonna bring food for Friday night and well have to rely on barely any food and lots of drink for Saturday I suppose.

Anyone know if there will be pit tickets given out or is it only this 'Golden Circle'?

Plan B will be on before Eminem and will therefore be the main support act. That's the way MCD are promoting it and he's too big of an act to have playing to a half full venue early in the day.

No gold circle pit for this so first few thousand in the gate at 1pm will get a wristband. You're reward? The pleasure of then paying €6 a pint all day!!

Is there a separate bar for the Pit? Six euro, **** that. May drink an insane amount before if that's the case.. That or sneak in something else

Are we alright bringing in a bag with food in it?

Nope, you won't be left bring in any food. That's the set up at all major one day gigs in this country.

Think about it? If they allowed everyone bring food, nobody would purchase from the food vendors who will have paid MCD a significant amount of money to be left set up in the venue. Same theory is applied for drink. Heineken would not pay big sponsorship fees if people were allowed bring drink in with them because they would make zero profit!!!

Few options:

1. Arrive early, bring plenty cash and buy as much drink/food as you wish.

2. Arrive early, bring little cash and survive on couple pints and a bag of chips.

3. Arrive late, full of drink & food (often favoured by the Irish festival goer) and therefore eliminate the need for major spend in the arena. Drawback is you miss most/all of support.

4. Arrive mid way through the day with some cash and spend economically!!

Nope, pit goers ahve to use the same bar as everyone else..
Easiest thing to do is have a few drinks and head down about half 2 ish, getting a pit pass will be grand at that stage.

I think i'm a bit pee'd off that I'm not going to Slane now, I originally wasn't jumping up and down when I heard Em was playing, still not really....but the support lineup has whet my whistle.

DsJewel

Can't wait for this gig. Hoping to get there early enough to get a pit wristband, never been to Slane before

BearThomas131

Just watched the anger management tour DVD and I'm absolutely buzzing for this, next week can't come quick enough

That often is the case with some big outdoor gigs in this country.

When the tickets originally went on
sale,MCD would not have known full support acts, how long Eminem would
want on stage, detailed security plans
etc, therefore they just slap a time down
and put "showtimes MCD.ie" next to it to cover themselves.

Everyone who bought a ticket through TM will receive an email in the coming
week anyway detailing this time change.

Source of mine in the local area told me
the earlier gate time is an attempt to get people off the streets/campsites/carparks and into the
venue as early as possible as it's then easier to police.

I was there for Bon Jovi and the atmosphere in the streets/pubs was
great all morning/afternoon as the gates weren't until 3pm that day!!

I'm going aswell next week, I expect the atmosphere to be just as good and lively but I would imagine it will be confined to the venue itself rather than the streets/pubs leading to the castle!

Also, word of warning to those heading along, there is no ATM in Slane village and I didn't see any in the venue either and the local shop was limiting cashback to €50 so arrive with cash!!

Navan is the closest ATM!!

Sniffer dogs? Surely that would be fairly useless in a situation like this, massive crowds and (undeniably) quantities of drugs everywhere..

Boom_Bap

You'd be suprised, sniffer dogs are extremely well trained and very accurate.
All they do is give a sign to thier handler, the handler gives a sign to the nearest Garda, Garda acts.

They had sniffer dogs on patrol in Marlay Park last year for the Guetta gig.

From what i saw they were very effective. Teams of 3, Dog, it's handler
and a Garda simply walking along the queue, dog would suddendly sit and the Garda who was walking in the team
would then ask the person in question to step out of the queue and into a small tent near the entrance!!

They also had a 2 sniffer dogs at the entrance to the toilets at Marlay Park for a large portion if the day!!

Saw plenty people being brought in. Unless you want your day out at Slane to turn into a court appearance, stick to the pints!!

The idea of sniffer dogs with a crowd this size is crazy, complete rubbish. Excuse for random searches most likely.

You know that they are deployed in airports, stadiums, bus stations, etc. and catch people regularly?
And its not going to be like 1 dog with 80,000 people walking past in a 2 second period.

If Plan B plays the songs with Chase and Status 'Pieces' and 'Fool Yourself' then you guys wont be complaining because they are mental live haha

This is something I'm curious about too. What happens if/when a few thousand people show up before 1pm?
