    @noelmchale from MCD confirmed earlier on Twitter that there was a pit on a first-come-first-served basis

    Fair enough. I was just looking at the Twitter photos from yesterday and there was none there. There were a few forklifts moving stuff around so maybe they have to wait until they're finished before putting it up.

    Unless it was only put up today, it doesn't look like there is a pit
    There'll be a pit, purely for crowd safety measures.

    Even better again my brother and me got pit wristbands at around 6.30pm in the RDS well after we came throught the gates, there were still being given out that late here and there.

    All day queues are only for those going for the front rows usually.

    At Bruce I was in the pit having turned up about an hour after the gates opened, beside people with '#8' and '#34' and stuff on their hand, which were the numbers marking their spot in the queue they'd been in overnight the night before. Mental.

    Nobody need waste their time with raingear and hoodies, its going to be 20C right through the gig and a few sprinkles of rain at worst, which will probably be welcome. thunder storms are now very unlikely

    A beautiful night for an outdoor show!

    Just had a look at the pitch. There's definitely a pit and a walkway. Stage looks amazing! The wish I could actually be watching it!

    I thought that the last time they played. I got soaked wearing shorts and tshirt . Then the temp dropped and I had to walk to naas. Miserable gig. The pits. I have seen them 9 times tonight. Punchestown was the only time I did not want to be there.

    A 1 euro plastic poncho would have turned it around. That weather could turn very easily by the feel of it. Sky is gray here in Naas. Humid, recipe for showers. Stuck in a seat I would rather come prepared.

    But im old and wise now. Lots of ac/dc rockers are these days.. LOL

    They are giving the pit passes out at the red entrance at the moment only to pitch ticket holders

    Is the lineup/warm up acts posted anywhere with estimated start times?

    What time is Brian Johnson supposed to be hitting the stage? I'm guessing 8pm or so?

    Not bad, didn't think the sound was great.

    Solo was crap. I hate that self indulgent never ending inaudible shite.

    Maybe he thought tonight was going to be the night that they decide for the first time in a million years that they weren't going to include the solo when they played LTBR.

    Great gig, surprised at them starting bang on 8.30.

    Crowd were very docile, virtually no beer/toilet/cameraphone nuisance. Almost made me long for Punchestown 2009 when getting home resembled the final scene of Titanic.

    Frightening to think Ed Sheeran is deemed the next generation of stadium gigs.
