That must have been one of the shortest sets ever - about 70 minutes.

Surely he was more than that? If that's true then it's pathetic!

Jimmy Iovine

Back at B&B;

Key points;

Great day and saw no trouble of any sort. Great crowd, very friendly and big influx from the UK.

Security was on the ball, absoutely no messing. Searches all day and regular patrols in the pit.

Plan B was pissed off with lack of crowd interaction.

Huge build up to Eminem.

Absolute complete sell out. Place was
packed but bar and toilets were very
very well run all day.

Short enough set by Eminem (on at
9.10, off at 10.20 and back on 10.25 to 10.35 (approx times), big fireworks display until 11pm....thought it was word for word
from Oxegen for last 30 mins. No reference made to cancelled 2005 gig.

Thought he would have made some
reference. Show was very well put
together and lighting/visuals were top
class. Thought his band and backing vocals were great!!!

Enjoyed support acts. Crowd seemed chilled. Was in pit for over 70% of the day though...

Sound was excellent...

Good day out!!!

we'llallhavetea

set was very very short, he was great, got the crowd going but would have liked if he had have played the WHOLE of the old songs, they were just the first half of them and then on to the next. would be fair sickened if I had paid full price tbh

That has happened at a few rap concerts that I've gone to before. It's a pity. It also makes it virtually impossible to tell what song is being played until you recognise a word or phrase.

All rap concerts should try to reach the level of the Watch the Throne tour, as difficult and all as that may be. That showed how amazing a rap concert can be when everything comes together.

Ya Id have to agree there .. Jay Z and Kanye tore up the 02 ... best rap concert I was ever at . Some buzz at it . Punchestown gig Eminem did years ago was a decent gig too . I wonder what the support acts were like today .

I've said a million times. The only way to do Slane is book accommodation or camp. All other options are madness. I'm in a B&B and I'm in bed watching tv after a shower and food and only 10 mins from castle!!

Was it worth the wait? Any fans happy with what was provided, show and concert wise?

I sold my ticket a couple of weeks ago. I've been jealous all day of my friends who got to go. After reading everything here, totally glad I sold the ticket on!

Well that was short. Took an 1.35 min to get out of the car park which was 15 min longer then eminems set

I thought they were awful tbh! They just talked more than anything else. Highlight for me all night was yelawolf! Especially when he played the intro to smells like teen spirit

Love the way the concert has been getting slagged all day by some people who weren't even at the gig.

We went through 4 security checkpoints, 1st in Dublin by Dublin bus and the gards, then 3 between getting off the bus and getting into the concert. Final security check was pretty cool with a full frisk and a metal scanner, really cracking down on weapons, great to see.

We got there just before slaughterhouse. Support were good but I don't see why Plan B was main support. Yelawolf ripped it up. I became a fan of his today.

Eminem was fairly short but something must have been held up somewhere in the day for him to be on so late. Still a great show though.

Only 1 bad shower all day, we were on the bus at the time and then a little shower halfway through, dry all day apart from that.

I only saw one fight and security dealt with it very very quickly.

All in all a fantastic day, got to see one of my musical idols and no matter who is on in Slane next year I will be back. What an amazing venue!!

Serious let down. The walk to the Slane Castle was an absolute joke, not sure what distance it was but with the crowds of people going in it took us well over an hour and a half from the coach to the venue.

Didn't get to see Slaughterhouse or Yelawof which was disappointing. Plan B was ****. Kendrick Lamar is supporting Em for the rest of the dates, why anyone thought Plan B would be a decent supporting act is beyond me.

Could be wrong but looked/sounded like Em was miming most of his set. Set list wasn't great, very few songs from MMLP and maybe 1 or 2 from SSLP?

Would never go to Slane again and wouldn't be pushed about Eminem either tbh. Today's performance was pretty shocking tbh and I always find something to like about every concert I go to.

Very dissapointing. Jay-Z's upcoming concert in The O2 will be better.

What was Chance The Rapper like?

Really enjoyed him, buddy of mine has been a fan of his so we wanted to make sure we got to see him!

IMO Yelawolf was the best thing about today, big fan of his and today cemented that, bloody brilliant live.

Enjoyed Slaughterhouse a lot, Tyler and Earl were very good I thought, great chemistry on the stage and Tyler is crazy!


Plan B shouldn't have been there, worse decision than the blizzards at ACDC.


Kendrick would have tore it up!
