No lighting at all after the gig but given what it smelt like we were walking through on that road up past the wood probably best we couldn't see it too.
Maybe you should drive to the next one, you could complain about that too then ………

Where did you see the pic?
I was looking at Metallica's Instagram 'story' for Slane and maybe I'm wrong, but did some guy who bought a 'meet & greet' package ticket actually ask Lars to sign a bootleg CD? The balls
Anyway, love him taking this pic as I see this bar on Dame St had done this to their window on Friday night.........

No one gave it a 5* rating.
Were you in Slane Farm?
"pot luck who you ended up beside" Obviously its a campsite. Do you get to pick who buys the house next to you ? Or the room beside you in the hotel on your holidays ?
"Food selection wasn't great " - nope, it was standard fare for a festival/gig setting. The exact same as was inside the castle grounds.
"Queues were ridiculously long" - True, but there was probably 5000 people in the campsite , all q'ing up for breakfast, at about the same time.
"Toilets were ok" - they were very good actually. Other sites had a portaloo, inside the venue had portaloos, so I think attended toilets with flush and toilet paper and hot water from the tap, is a bit better than ok!
"No lighting at all after the gig" - That's rubbish if you were in Slane Farm.
There was lighting rigs in the fields. I would have held your hand if I had known.
Maybe stick to glamping at festivals.
Anyway ……….

i was in the snakepit at download festival 2012 and while its an amazing experience to be so close tot he band the sound is a bit hit and miss especially if you are close to one of the one stage monitors..when rob would walk close to a monitor all you could hear was bass and the drums in general sounded weird0 -

ha nah they sell CD copies of the audio from live gigs, you can get one for slane. Think the CD was from the RDS
Lars and James had photos with the statue on their Instagram, just doesn't look like Bruxelles or the building beside it to me but could just be the angle.0 -

Standard fare at a festival or gig...so not great then which is what I said.
The toilets were ok - yes better than a portaloo though a few of the women in our group said there was no water pressure - didn't see that problem in the lads - but it was what you'd expect to get in a professionally run campsite these days which is what the farm is.
In fairness on the lighting you're correct about the site - I was referring to the entry road to get into the far field - the one that ran beside the woods. No lighting on that at all.
Nice we were able to agree on so much!
Don't get me wrong I'd stay again. It's infinitely better than a 2 hour walk to the car park, hour wait to get out and a 3 hour drive home.0 -
