    These are the places that are closet to the venue.

    Royal Oak beside the venue. Small but will be good atmosphere if it doesn't rain - people can hang around outside it. If it does rain, the little place will be too jammed. Hilton across the road for those that want a quieter drink. And then there's Murrays, which is a minute walk from the main entrance to the gig. Bigger place.

    Weather is looking good for Sunday.

    I know that James Vincent McM is supporting, but there's someone before him too? I'd rather just get there for JVM onwards, anyone know what time he's due onstage?

    Gates are at 6. If I had to guess I'd say first act 6.45-7:15. JVM 7.45-8.30. Sigur Ros 9-10.45.

    They'll probably release the times earlier on Sunday though.

    There's a new pub opened just where the luas starts going down the hill at stevens lane

    Closest stop would probably be Heuston, it's a short walk from there. You just walks towards the Eircom building and you're halfway there.

    Ya, 5 minute walk from Heuston to the back gates of the venue. It’s very straight forward. No people congestion. Getting into and out of the actual venue is very handy. It’s just getting out of the area at 11 at night could be a pain. (not that I have to worry my smug little head about that – 1 minute walk from the gig).

    Looking forward to this gig on Sunday but haven't been at the venue before. Can anyone tell me is there seating or do people sit on the ground / stand? Also can you purchase food and drink at the concert? Thanks

    Usually no seating. There was for Leonard Cohen years ago, but that was a different audience. Very unlikely there would be for Sigur Ros. Ya, general people standing up near the front, but as you go further back from the stage, much more room for sitting around. Although the weather might put a dampner on having the image of sitting out in a field in the sun, chilling out to beautiful music.

    Don't know about food. Drinks, ya.

    Beer last year was Heineken only. I think there was a procecco bar as well.

    A good few food options available. Not the worst but nothing too exciting either.

    Anyone know anywhere nearby which would be a good spot for watching the match on Sunday before the concert?

    No stage times just yet but MCD named James Canty on Twitter as a support act for tomorrow.

    Hopefully the weather is decent, still undecided if I'm gonna buy a ticket.

    Cool thanks. I won a prize of tickets for collection at box office but as yet have no details of opening time of box office. I know that for some MCD events in Kilmainham the box office opened at 1pm.

    Would anyone know if it's OK to bring a small fold up chair in with you? Have a fairly pregnant wife who might need to take the weight off from time to time!! Cheers.

    I'm in exactly same boat! Anyone know can you bring stuff in? Backpack with picnic blanket, snacks etc?

    Might be worthwhile considering the accessible seating option for the gig. I think there is a phone number on TM you can call. I used it once when I was on cruches for a knee injury, it was a lifesaver. Heavily pregnant is definitely a legit reason for access, no point being uncomfortable for the concert.

    Enjoy

    Cheers for that lc180. I'll give the number a shout and see how I get on.

    Best of luck gumbyman, I'll let you know how I get on with that number!
