    cannot believe it's only a couple of days away.. only checking out the bus now and no tickets available on line for ticketmaster - can I just pay dublin bus on the day or get them in a branch of ticketmaster? Kept meaning to sort this but just didn't .. don't want any last minute hiccups.. I can only guess it will be mental even getting the bus if the stones is anything to go by.

    And.. what the hell is the weather supposed to be like?? would wellies be recommended?

    Haha :p feels weird being on the other side :p

    I ask just because i thought 8 seemed a bit early, but bon jovi was on at half 7.. 10 is a very early time to be heading home :p

    2 days :D

    Bon Jovi curfew was 11pm. Remember he played for almost 3 hours and finished approx 10.45pm which was then followed by 10 minute firework display and safety announcements!!

    I honestly can't see Eminem appearing before 8.30pm and would expect a 2 hour set from him (including encores etc). Firework display finishing approx 10.45.

    Site map showing entrances car parks and bars.. For those staying in Slane farm & Hostel, ti is located at car park 3

    I presume the pit passes will be handed out at all entrances..

    I plan on getting there ridiculously early just so I can sus out the town a little If that's even possible (since I've never been) hopefully grab a bite to eat too and if not we can always get something when the gates open at 1. I'm getting mad excited! I feel like it's my 1st rodeo all over again.. >_>

    MCD just posted this notice for coach & bus operators http://www.mcd.ie/safety_notices/coachoperators_slane.pdf
    on it it says venue gates open at 2pm.
    So the original tickets say 3pm, that says 2pm and ticketmaster say 1pm.

    a senior member of the Gardai (in charge of the policing for the event) was on Radio 1 this morning, he said gates are actually opening at 12 noon.

    Between this evening and Sunday he said there will be a total of 700 gardai working on the event...obviously not all at the same time.

    Noon? Damn I'm hoping to get a pit wristband but won't be leaving Dublin til 12 earliest,and that's if I get on the earliest bus.

    These gate times just keep getting earlier and earlier, soon they'll be open today ;-)

    If you want to get a feel for some of the support acts, one of the members (EARL) from EarlWolf is about to release a new album called Dorris.
    You can stream it here:
    http://oddfuture.tumblr.com/post/58350419679/tumblr-presents-earl-sweatshirt-doris-album

    There are a few tracks on there with Tyler, the other half of EarlWolf. The track call Sasquatch is particularly awesome.

    Once you weren't obviously drunk, slurring your words or walking up to the steward/guards with a bottle/can(which is illegal in itself) you were fine..

    We/They dont really mind what you do before hand, once you're not completely gone. Like I'm having a can or two before heading down to the castle..

    Once your inside like there will be bars don't forget this.. Just have ID on you.

    Hi benny, you seem to know what the story with security is. I was thinking of putting some alcohol in a hydration pack. I was allowed to do it at oxegen a year or two ago. What are the odds of this being allowed in at slane?

    What do I need to wear to slane.

    I was thinking shorts, tshirt and old runners so the rain doesn't stick to me..

    But with the muck would I need wellies and jeans - I don't own a rain coat or wellies so I would have to go buy them ...

    I think with any outdoor concert in Ireland don't wear anything too expensive or anything you're too attached to cos there's always the chance it could get wrecked.
