Driving down to this and not familiar with the area, what is the parking situation like near the stadium? And are there any bars nearby to watch the first World Cup game of the day before the show?

It's on in Donnybrook so most if not all the pubs will have the 2nd test on at 11am. You might have to go out to Stillorgan or stay in town to get the association football. Some of the pubs might have a small area for the world cup, but it's not guaranteed!

Hi everyone, my ticket says enter through the blue route, can someone tell me what that means?

Set times due out tomorrow according to promoter on Twitter. Was just responding to a question someone asked and mentioned it.

Anyone hear anything about what kind of sets the National might be playing? Anything specific on either night? Think the idea of selling a weekend pass is a bit unusual if they're gonna play largely the same set on both nights but also think it's strange that if they're doing something specific, like playing Boxer, on one night, it's odd to not flag that too!

Day 1 will have songs they play when Lisa Hannagin is touring with them

Day 2 won't.

I doubt they'll play all of Boxer like they did in Boston and Brussels. I was hoping they would but they'd have announced it already surely.

But I'm expecting two unique setlists with close to 0 crossover. They easily have enough songs to spread them out over both nights and keep everyone happy.

Here's a list of all the songs they've played so far on this tour (taken from reddit):

Guilty Party
The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness
Walk It Back
Day I Die
I Need My Girl
Fake Empire
Turtleneck
Nobody Else Will Be There
Bloodbuzz Ohio
Carin at the Liquor Store
Terrible Love
Mr. November
Don't Swallow the Cap
Born to Beg
I'll Still Destroy You
Afraid of Everyone
Apartment Story
Slow Show
Empire Line
Dark Side of the Gym
This Is the Last Time
Conversation 16
Secret Meeting
Sleep Well Beast
About Today
Wasp Nest
Lemonworld
Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks
Green Gloves
The KKK Took My Baby Away (Ramones cover)
Mistaken for Strangers
Squalor Victoria
Pink Rabbits
England
The Geese of Beverly Road
Sea of Love
Lucky You
Racing Like a Pro
Start a War
Karen
Guest Room
I Should Live in Salt
City Middle
Brainy
Maybe Not (Cat Power cover)
Gospel
Santa Clara
Abel
All the Wine
Hard to Find
Driver, Surprise Me
Love Vigilantes (New Order cover)
Graceless
Son
Heaven (Talking Heads cover)
Morning Dew
Rylan
I Want to Break Free (Queen cover)

I'm a big fan of Boxer but dunno how I'd feel if they played it without it being flagged in advance..

Well presume Lisa H will be doing her own set the Friday.

Could well pop up on Saturday again too though, why not sure? Lives in Dublin. Happened for their set in Longitude.

yeah that's what i'm thinking, i'm pretty sure they've done similar at other 2-night stops.
it's for that reason i'll probably crack and get a ticket for the other night :pac:

She may very well play the two nights.

I just reckon she'll duet on the Friday and those songs will be individual to that night.

Then the second night The National play without her and sing the other songs in their setlists that wouldn't normally feature Lisa (when she tours with them)

Then you have two individual nights (for the two day ticket people) and all without advertising one night as a 'boxer' night.

Thinking about parking out at the red cow for the saturday. Is it possible with public transport to get back to the red cow after the gig?

That is what i am thinking of doing also. Luas to Abbey Street. Then Luas from O'Connell Street to Ranelagh. If concert is over before 11pm luas should still be running to get back to Red Cow.

flasher0030

I think the Luas runs till midnight or maybe later. You should have no problem. Taylor Swift is playing in Croke Park that night too. So be ready for a bit of mayhem in city centre when you're switching Luas tracks near O'Connell Street

minor point, but the O'Connell Street stop is only north-bound.
the Marlborough St stop next to Abbey St. has the south-bound ones to Ranelagh.

Im going to drive up the m7 and continue as far as monkstown dart Station. Loads of parking there and then short dart to sandymount and then ten min max walk to donnybrook.

Red line might be nuts that night.

floyd333

Does anybody know if it's possible to get onto the pitch with stand tickets?

mrscloudatlas

Anyone know anything about wheelchair access at this venue?

Hope to get on for Rostam and Dream Wife, but that leaves over 2& 1/2 hrs to kill afterwards till the main event. Besides food trucks and beer tents, does the stadium have inside bar where you can get a pint?

I’m in same boat; just gonna show up for the National cause I don’t think I can’t kill enough time waiting for the National to come on.

Surprised at the negativity about Villagers. Not sure how well it will work in a stadium where people aren't there for him, but seen him in tents at festivals a few times and he's always been excellent! Not everyone's cup of tea I guess

BullBlackNova

Just FYI, if anyone wants to see Rostam and doesn't want to arrive 5 hours early for the show, he is also doing a standalone gig afterwards in the Workmans. I know it might not suit everyone, but might be an option for a few.

Looks like there's going to be a thunderstorm on Saturday!

Is there much shelter at this ground?
