    if you download the Evntz app, you can pay €20 and book a parking slot at Malahide castle. All still available up until 7pm entry, so doesn’t look too busy.

    If you are travelling from Coolock/Santry area, go in the secondary road not the main way in, I think it's the R124, there is a couple of places with long drives with parking and a 10 minute walk, you will probably see a lot doing similar along that road, our other option was drive to the nearest dart station and get that but found parking easy enough. I paid for parking for the killer's just the week before at the same venue and it took 2 hrs to get out of the carpark.

    Did they go the way out to the dart at the end? The baddies killed the power?

    We were to the right of the stage in the Gold Circle, they went past us on their way out when they went into the guest area beside the stage.

    Powerful band. Some show. The whole of funeral was so captivating. The crowd were great too, as was the weather!

    very impressive, full of theatrics, and a great crowd, perfect weather too, and as usual they put a lot into the performance.

    Couldn't believe how seamless it was getting in & out with parking. Genuinely impressed with the organisation.

    Arrived just in time for Echo & The Bunnymen, wouldn't listen to them much, but they were solid.

    Funeral was class. Great to hear a few tunes from it you wouldn't usually get live. It was class, and it looked like they were loving the reaction.

    Second half was good, Reflektor, Afterlife, Suburbs, Sprawl, all good. Body is a Cage is an odd one, but can't critique Win's delivery.

    Great weather too. Just a solid night.

    There's alot to be said for gigs not selling out. Really easy getting around, virtually no queues at the bars or toilet and had a nice spot beside the sound booth all night. I made my way towards the back for sprawl ll and was on a dart home in 15 minutes

    The sound quality was incredible - everything was so crisp and nothing lost in the mix.

    Went to Download for a few years running, and the lower selling years were always the best because of this. You still get "Jesus, that's a lot of people who are into the same things I'm into" but with the added bonus of being able to zip in and out of crowds and a minimum of queues. You'd actually have the space to talk to more random strangers too.

    did the same, hopped on the first dart and was back in city centre in no time.

    incredible gig, really enjoyed it. 6th time seeing them and They still know how to put on a show. Shame to miss the very end, but got to hear the last couple of songs walking out. Will definitely catch them again next time they’re in town.

    Paid €20 return for Marathon coaches back into town. Well worth the money and will be using them again for any Malahide gig. Was in the Gold Circle right til the end, then strolled out back to the meeting point and straight on with no queuing and the bus was moving within five minutes. Great service.

    First time seeing them and it was incredible. Absolutely loved every second of it & wished it had of gone on another 2 hours! Funeral was just unreal, really was.

    Stayed right to the end, just edged across to the exit for the carpark but probably didn't need to. No hassle getting out and was back home within an hour. Same getting in, no issues at all.

    Great evening including the weather thankfully.

    2nd time seeing them. 1st time was at electric picnic. Not the famous 1st one but 2nd one they played.

    I remember being exhausted after that one and this one too. Feet killing after all the 🕺.

    They have so many energy, it's incredible to be a part of the crowd. And what a crowd it was too.

    And the rain kept away.

    I think this location is the best of the outdoor venues.

    A few bevvies in the village beforehand then buy a few Tins in the off licence for the walk in. What a night!!

    Super gig and the rain holding off was an unexpected bonus. Great set list, very little complaint with it bar I'd have liked to hear Intervention. The sound was excellent too.

    They seemed very appreciative of the reception they got.
