https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2018/0919/994679-metal-merchants-metallica-to-rock-slane-castle-in-2019/ Edit: Ah, It's The Irish Sun "breaking" it. Probably right but... y'know.... OK. so, what do ya think? I think it's actually pretty cool. Pretty retro maybe but, say what you want, they should rock the joint.

Is there an off licence in Slane village does anyone know?

No offie.

Didnt notice last year because I got in late......but usually have something set up at some of the shops or bars, however they sell out early. Shop on the hill coming from drogheda usually has one.

The pubs and shops will have Off sales but usually on concert days so I'd go shopping tonight.

Whats the story with having a few pints or cans before going in the entrance?

No problem getting in as long as you can walk properly lol, seen a few last year who might have started a little too early.

Just seen those pics of the slane being setup. Here's a pic facing back up the crowd from at Foo fighters, all hoarding appears normal. Seating area is the VIP section.

Where?

Ah man the FOMO is getting to me now! Had thought to maybe pick up a cheap ticket but couldn't get anyone from home to tag along with me. Slane is a fair trek from my side of the country.

I have loads of gigs coming this year so I think I'll officially leave it, have decided to go to the GF's nieces communion tomorrow, how rock and roll!!

Anyways enjoy all tomorrow, hope the weather holds up ok for everyone. I'm just going to spend the evening YouTubeing Metallica live sets just to depress me that little bit more!

Anyone know if you are arriving at Slane Farm camping if you can get in with a car after 8 Saturday morning?They are officially saying arrive by 8, but Garda site says roads closing at 10, and I’ve seen somebody post to say that one of the roads to the campsite is open all day...and you can drive to it in a roundabout way.
Camped there two years ago and it was 10 they had us arrive by.
