Post by: winsamsoon on July 10, 2013, 12:31:45 AM
Heading to this gig over the weekend lads, never been to an open air event like this and just wondering what is the craic with alcohol? will it be sold in the venue and what are the regulations of bringing your own?

Not allowed to bring in your own alcohol could try though. Normally only a few choices
Heineken,Carlsberg,budweiser depends who's sponsoring the concert.

I thought Phoenix Park gigs were all alcohol free after what happened with Swedish House Mafia last year?

Will be extra gardaĆ­ and they will throw out any drunks or druggies. There will be facilities inside the concert to purchase alcohol.

Do you need the gargle to enjoy?

I never drink at gigs as I prefer not to miss half the concert queuing for some mauldy portaloo.

Heading to this also. Where are the good places to go after the concert? Say pubs/clubs catering for late twenties/early thirties. No doubt I'll just end up in Temple Bar anyway!

Camden and Harcourt Street will be heaving after the Leinster final. Throw a concert into the mix with plenty making a weekend of it and town will be jammed.

Just cycled through the park. Is staring at scantily clad girls an arrestable offence?

As long as you have the 8) on. Stare away.

Have seen the Vaccines few months ago up at Derry One Big Wkend, they're good band with a few lively songs if jumping like a gack is your thing... wouldn't know Ben Howard if he walked past me in the street couldn't name you any songs he plays hopefully he's on first out of the way so I don't have to sit through him.

whats the recommended establishments on harcourt st/wexford st etc for a few rambunctious nordies???

wear two pairs of boxers, prob be a pure sweating match with the warm weather of late but if you stuff your liquor around the crotchal region where you are unlikely to be frisked you should be able to smuggle in your nectar no probs, so i have been told.

Think the concert starts at 3.00, well opens anyway. Couldn't see it going past 9? Plenty of time to take in a few pubs/clubs.

Harcourt Street - Copper Face Jacks.  You might meet some of the Dublin team?

Wexford Street - Whelans, Cassidys or the Bleeding Horse.

Mumford and Sons in a sunny Phoenix Park sounds pretty close to perfect.
