I got a question for you guys (and please go easy, I'm Canadian). I'm going to Glastonbury next year, so would it be feasable for me to goto the Slane castle gig the weekend before, then go from Ireland to Glastonbury the next week? I mean if Oasis are going to do Glastonbury (unlikely I'm thinking) I don't need to go to Slane. But seriously, how epic would that be to do both? I'm also expecting its going to be alot of money.

You can also go down through Ireland and ferry over from Rosslare to Fishguard (Wales)/take the train to Glasto. Can I come with ya - LOL  www.stenaline.co.uk/ferry/ |

By the way, they sure burned a lot of people saying they were playing their "home", everyone figured that would be Manchester (myself included.. you cheeky gits ). |

Every time ive been to Slane I have had such a quality day out.
The Verve 1998
Robbie Williams 1999
U2 2001
The Rolling Stones 2007
Sometimes its not even the band that have made my day, its the area. Slane is a little small village in Ireland just outside of Dublin, around 20 miles or so. The gig itself has always been a day event as far as Ive known it, like a festival but for one day only. Bands start playing at around 1 o clock so the line up for this gig next year is bound to be quality. The area where the concert is itself holds around 80-100,000 people and its on a hill which, if its sunny, is great place to sit back, relax and get slowly drunk/stoned during the day.
I advise anyone from outside of Ireland thinking of going........TO GO.
