    Know absolutely nothing about the lounge, unfortunately. Aside from what I can read online, that is. I personally wouldn't be bothered paying extra for something like that when its a non-camping festival, but like I said, I'm not too familiar with it anyway.

    When can we expect stage times, or have they already been released?

    Longitude Festival
    Pusha T will be replacing Earl Sweatshirt at Longitude 2017. Unfortunately Earl had to cancel his set due to unforeseen circumstances.

    We’re also delighted to announce that All Tvvins, Wyvern Lingo, BARQ, Brave Giant and COLUMBIA MILLS have been added to the lineup!

    Stage times and app coming at 2pm today.

    Fold up chairs, professional cameras with detachable lenses, excessive amounts of cigarettes and anything that can be perceived as a weapon are among the banned items at the concerts.

    Just saw this and found it curious. Obviously it's weird if someone rocks up with 200 smokes but why are they on a banned list? Do people try sell illegal smokes at concerts?

    Girlfriend is expecting so just thought it might be a bit easier for her if it's worthwhile.

    Stage times are out. All tvvins and Skepta clashing for me but that's about it. I'm only going on Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Clashes on Saturday are gutting, tbh.

    Mick Jenkins and Kaytrandra clash, as do Youngr and Mac Miller. They're four of the main people I wanted to see this weekend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    All Tviins are a great addition

    Depends what you're drinking. Beer is probably 5.50/6, Bacardi and Red Bull bar is bout 7-9 a drink. Then there's the prosecco bar

    I usually take the Marathon bus from the Quays to Marley park. Think I'll do it again this year. I want to get in for Kaleo at 3.15pm. I presume getting on the 2pm bus from the quays should get me there by then yeah? I remember traffic being bad enough last year. Can anyone remember how long it usual takes give or take traffic? I'm giving myself and 1hr and 15 mins from bus to main stage.

    You would be very lucky to get in for 3:15 with all of the security and the walk from bus to venue

    I wouldn't get that bus on a friday evening if they paid me...I got that from the quays and i remember it went down the port tunnel and down the m50, There was a accident on the m50 and took a good 2 hours to get....Never again! Ill be getting the number 16 down. Should be ok for the Saturday and Sunday but take alternatives friday evening if your going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭BurtMacklin


    It's only Saturday I'm going. Dammit, on the fence here. I've seen Kaleo before but I would like to catch them again.

    get the Luas to Balally, 30min walk from there with sneaky can along the way(probably less if you're a quick walker). quicker than the bus, and no chance of hitting traffic.

    This!! I and plenty others will be going down this route I say. The walk isn't that bad honestly . The luas is gonna be mayhem though with teenagers

    I always found the marathon bus handy to get out of Marley park. Plenty of buses queuing up at the designated bus stop that brings you straight back to town. Don't fancy the walk back to Balally after the day. Plus I'm coming from the south east so I might end up using the park and ride which will have me on the red line.
    or we might get the train to Hueston.

    I'll weigh up all my options. Thanks,

    What's it like coming home?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    I think you can get a 1-way ticket for the bus to go back into town? for getting there with little risk of delays, the Luas is the better option I'd say.
    way home it's wedged, but I've got on without any problem. that' leaving straight after the gig and going straight there, might be too busy if you're not up there within 30-40mins of it ending.

    Took this from the site;

    Can I book a homeward bound ticket only online in advance of Marlay Park concerts?

    It is not possible to pre-book a homeward bound ticket from Marlay Park to Custom House Quay in advance. It can be purchased upon concert end in Marlay Park. Limited availability.

    Yeah I'll see what the lads want to do. Thanks for the info.

    is it possible to book a one way shuttle bus ticket back to Dundrum luas stop from longitude for the late night???I'm only seeing return tickets going as far as 6pm

    You'd nearly be quicker walking, I'd guess.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,469 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    The 16 bus last year was perfect. They'd about 20 of them lined up after the gig, each leaving as soon as it was full all heading back to O'Connell Street.

    Yeah we could do that. Goes from O' Connell street out yeah. Seems to go every 12 mins or so.

    It's seem an easier escape after the festival too according to the map.

    There will be shuttle buses back to the Luas station. They will run until the crowd dies down or the Luas is finished. No need to book.

    Make sure you know what time the last Luas goes at, especially Sunday night .
    Last year, loads of people were too late for the last Luas which goes earlier on a Sunday night

    I thought there would be horror reports about the state of the crowd by now. :)

    What is going on in the picture? Is that a medical tent or was there a crush at some stage?

    it's one of the security tents when you're on the way in. seems like there were big bottlenecks at entry with security being slow and loads of people arriving around 4pm, which lead to loads of queuing/pushing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,471 ✭✭✭Mrs Shuttleworth


    Just heard there the queue was 90 minutes to get in this afternoon, there was a stampede when the gates opened and some lad broke his leg. Wishing him a speedy recovery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,753 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    WELL! Wheres the reports then, who was sh1te and who was not sh1te and did it suck or was it amazing craic, c'mon give it to me.

    Longitude Festival
    An apology
    The opening hour of yesterday's entry was not what I wanted. We had encouraged people to arrive early and they heeded the encouragement to a greater level than anticipated making that first hour difficult and I owe those caught up in it an apology.

    However, every single person caught up in the shock of the uncomfortable start was able to continue into the concert and enjoy the day despite that. As you would anticipate, my teams have worked throughout the night to improve the entry for today and tomorrow so everyone can enjoy Longitude at its best.

    did they actually? reading Benn's statement it doesn't seem the case.
    there were people on twitter early yesterday saying that someone got stabbed, which turned out to be bollocks.

    Only saying what I heard.

    Today will be a lot better. The Weeknd should put on a good show.

    Fck I wish I was going. Feeling a pre-gig buzz coming on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,753 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    So my guess so far is the festival must be a pile of cr@p as no one seems to want to comment about the Friday night.

    Despite what we think we just have no patience (myself included, though getting better)
    We hate queing or waiting for anything and then whinge alot...
    I was at Nos Alive, yeah there was queues at times, saw a fight but generally it was calm esp as the night went on, people got drunk and stoned etc but not to the level WE do..
    Never saw trouble at Glaston bury or Bennicassim but wouldnt take a free ticket for EP.
    Just an observation..
