Alternatively, if you know anyone who has signed up for Dublin Bikes, get their card, get bike to Marley, lock it, back into town after the gig, and park bike at closest Dublin bike station to where you are getting the bus.

8km uphill from Rathmines to Marley Park on one of those things? No way. I use to go 3km from Ringsend to St Vincents Hospital on one sometimes - which is a flat run - and that was a killer. Those things are built like tanks and about as heavy! Any sort of wind into you on the trip there and it wouldn't be nice at all.

I'd recommend the Luas from Stephen's Green to Balally and walk from there. The Luas is a quick & regular service, you can have a pint or food in Dundrum if you want and then it's about 30 minutes walk to Marley Park I think.

Going to have a few beers and not sure about cycling back into town.

I would imagine it will be before 11?

Gives me a good hour to make it back into town as long I am first out.

Lads what type of beer will be on sale at the gig? (Despite living 2 minutes away from Marley park I haven't been to a gig there in 10 years.)

The Kilmainham gigs recently had:
Heineken
Heineken Light
Desperado
Orchards Thieves
Red wine
White wine
Red Bull & Vodka
Prosecco bar.

About €6.50ish for a pint I think. Struggling to remember...

Security at Marley can be mixed for getting your own 'beverages' in. Depends what time you walk up and how busy they are.

Does anybody know if it's the same promoters and therefore same drinks supplier?

Only during the day and then to stop. But quite a lot during the day.

They are doing sound checks in Marley in advance of the weekends concert. Getting a bit excited now!

First time going to Marlay Park for a gig. Getting bus from Drogheda.

I'm going to show how age changes one's attitude to going to a gig (!) but is there a pub nearby that I can get a bite to eat at? Our bus will be in Dublin at about 4.30 which is far too early to go to the venue so looking for somewhere to have a few pints and some soakage!

Thanks!

As others have said Eden does good food but will likely be rammed, Taylors 3 rock don't know how the food is but its close enough. If your there at 4 30 and aren't to keen on the supports and want a bite to eat the Glenside in Churchtown is about a 40 minute walk away does good food and won't be hit by the concert crowd.

I remember Fatboy Slim in 2009 there was a .. laissez faire attitude toward drinking outside Marley. Are the guards less tolerant toward it outside the venue nowadays ?

No, it has been heavily policed in the last 3 years. Resident hotlines set up to report 'anti social' behavior. Lots of stewards around too.
Generally they go after people too drunk to walk, people drinking in the vicinity of the park, people stashing booze in the bushes, loitering, littering etc....
So in and around the park would be a no go, but outside of that you should be ok.

Which luas stop is handiest to walk back to from Marlay park, ballaly or dundrum, handiest as in most straightforward to get to and least likely to get lost?

Synode

Ballally is closer and easier. Not sure if they do the shuttle busses after the gig (to the LUAS) but they'd be very handy if running

Edit: Yes they are doing it here

Thanks synode, there's a shuttle bus to dundrum luas after the gig but my experience of Marlay park is that traffic is so bad I'd be quicker walking.
Never tried the luas before for Marlay park but I'm going to tomorrow.

strawdog

30 mins walk from luas as per google maps (so prob really about 20-25). You'd do well to beat that by shuttle, especially as you're coming out right beside Dundrum SC. So as long as it's not pissing be grand. Maybe a cheeky discreet brown paper bag in hand!

From MCD's Twitter. Annoyingly enough they don't give a time for the Roses but I'm guessing that it'a 21:00 based on the Manchester gigs. Does anyone know if there's a front pit at this gig with pit passes? Want to get close to the front but not especially bothered about the support, particularly if it's raining.

I thought the gigs HAD to be over for 10 o'clock because of the residents?

11 as far as I'm aware.

sweetie

Kodaline tonight is 9pm stage time so should be similar

Forecast for heavy rain in the morning but drying up by the time the gates open. The ground will probably be a mess after all that rain.

Roses will play 9.15 to 11 I'd say.

Going by the previous pages of places to drink before the gig - I'll be approaching from the west (Ballydoden side) - so it seems my choices are Eden or the 3 Rock clubhouse does it????

You could go into Buglers pub on the Ballyboden Road. But you'll have about a 15-20 minute walk to the gig

Best place to get a rain jacket that wont cost a fortune ? and actually keeps you dry

nlk

Wondering where is best to park for Marlay?

Anyone know if it takes ages to get in/out of the official carpark or if you'll be clamped parking in a nearby estate?

You won't be able to get into the estates. Residents only.

And this year they have tightened up on it, residents issued with passes and more barricades and stewards.

Where is the best pubs to go to in the city centre after the gig? Also is there a strict dress code in any of them?
