    Hi does anyone know what king John's castle is like as a concert venue? We are trying to get bellx1 tickets and know what vicar st is like but tickets are gone.
    Is it a big venue, it's obviously outdoors and standing only.

    Saw Gavin James there last August. The weather was awful so the wind played havoc with the sound and the rain dampened the mood completely.

    Thanks for that. I can get tickets for bellx1 on the May bank holiday weekend but we've never been to limerick so we were in two minds. You never know with the weather so we might give it a miss

    its a lovely venue, not overly big, but not tine either

    sound is usually quite good, yes it has its moments with strong wind, but it's usually not bad at all
    certainly worth a trip to!

    Been to a couple of gigs there. Lovely venue beside the river. The issue is if the weather is bad you'll get wind from the river which will hurt the sound quality. It isn't tiny but not a huge venue. I couldn't even guess numbers to be honest. Im heading to bellx1 there myself so hoping it will be a great gig. Best of tour as well. The city should be buzzing that weekend as well for riverfest.

    Or keep an eye on Toutless?

    Thanks I never thought of toutless. We had given up on vicar street because there's been hardly any tickets online for sale.
