Feck off old-timer!
Ah no , I'm 25 and i probably would be at least 5 years older than the average fan (not to mention band member) at it , but **** it why not go , Good music is Good music.
Or are you ? Am I, at 40 too old to go and see the Arctic Monkeys ? I've seen a few of there live performances on the telly from festivals last year and have their album and think its fantastic. However, as a 40 year old, I naturally despise teenagers and young people generally. The last outdoor gig I was at was Slane, the year Neil Young was doing his 'Weld' tour with Pearl Jam. There are plenty of gigs I wouldn't feel out of place at, but somehow I feel different about this one.

My boss who is in her mid 30's got tickets today as did my 36 yr old brother so go for it. Would go myself if I wasnt so broke!
At 28 i feel too old for some gigs but i tend to stay at the back where i can see and hear the acts rather than getting squashed up the front now adays

I'm 34 and am going with a group of friends of a similar age. I was kind of thinking the same about the age group but the album is brilliant and I really want to go so there you go. I'm also planning to go to the Saturday set at Oxygen this year (my first time at this festival), again with some friends of a similar age to myself. Should be good craic.
Oxygen for the day is ok , as its big enough not to get too bothered by the kids yet you ll find even though your in afeckin massive field ****ed up kids will still bang into you and people never stopp moving , you ll be watching a band a gang will walk past you heading for the front wait for 3 songs then walk off some where else you ll spend most of your day moving over and back and getting bumped into .
campsite is a nightmare
I've always hated festivals and "big gigs" just for the fact that they're stuffed full of event junkies, Robbie Williams fans and miscellaneous others for whom music in general is just a consumable and who bought their ticket just so they could say they were there.
Got tickets for The Who the other day -Cork rather than Marley park -mainly due to the Cork venue being smaller.
So can I take this opportunity to invite all the Snow Patrol, U2 and Rice fans to stay the fcuk home and don't be annoying me with your general prancing about like a tit. ....or at least go to Marley park. Thanks

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine at The Who. A good mix of old plastic Mods, and people waiting for 'that one from CSI Miami'.

Well said Lionel Ritchie... I see you are on tour again good luck with that...
ALL NIGHT LONG ( All Night) on a related topic when some acts come here and charge more for their concert tickets than would get you their entire back catalogue on either CD or download, I'd prefer their entire back catalogue. At least when you're broke and have nothing else to do you can listen to their music. And for the record I was too old for outdoor gigs when I was 19.

im 28 and used to go to gigs regularly up until a few years ago-last gig i was at was green day in the point. i had standing tics so i waited patiently at the entrance to swop with some teenage goit who wasnt even born when they first started and got seated tickets. quality.
