    Is it gonna be outdoors or in a marquee? Would much rather them in the Aviva, or doing a couple of nights in the O2. Feckin Marlay Park.

    It will be outdoor!! They were always going to play an outdoor gig here on that weekend given that they are also headlining TITP!!

    Unbelievable live act.

    Sit yourself down for an hour and a half and watch their Glastonbury 2013 headline set. Quality!!

    Some really good highlights from Oxegen aswell on YouTube.

    Also, great support line up. Really compliment each other. I saw Miles Kane support Stone Roses in London last year, fantastic!!

    Pretty safe to assume Phoenix Park will not be used this year.

    I'm guessing the reason to moving to Marlay Park is that MCD will save a wagon load of cash given that Longitude is the following week.

    All the main set ups like stages, lighting, fencing, flooring, bars, security areas etc can all be put in place for the Arctic Monkeys (and probably a gig on the Friday and Sunday also) and remain in place for Longitude the weekend after with only some minor works needed to prepare the site between events!!

    Agreed.

    Any idea on capacity? I'm having a guess at around 35,000.

    Suppose it's a case of wait and see who else gets announced for Marlay Park at this stage. Personally, I think Foo Fighters would be perfectly suited to the venue if capacity was approx 35,000.

    Marlay Park is easily accessible from Dublin City Centre so you will have no problems. Personally, I would stay city centre and get the bus (or special concert bus) to the venue.

    If you want something closer, check out Bewleys Leopardstown, Stillorgan Park Hotel, The Beacon Hotel

    Ya it's 35,000 to 40,000 depending on which way they face the stage ,it was perfect a few years ago for Metallica the stage at the bottom of a slight hill and 40,000 capacity whereas the Kasabian show 2 years ago had the stage up the hill splitting the venue into an odd shape , foos would be awesome but had to say as they won't have an album out by then but that didn't not stop them playing witnness 2002 , looking forward to arctic monkeys now thou

    I like the Arctic Monkeys but its getting a bit annoying that Miles Kane is on the Bill every time they play a big gig.

    Absolutely buzzing for this concert, love everyone playing and was hoping for the smaller ones to be announced on the longitude line up. Anyone find 61 relatively cheap for such a great line up?

    It will be closer to 70 with the booking fee.

    Like an above poster said, sick of Miles Kane been on every one of their bills. Couldn't stand him when he supported Kasabian at O2 few years back.
