    Cool, enjoy the traffic/ was going to offer you a parking pass for my estate. Seriously- do not get that bus!!! What part of do not get that bus do you not understand? It will take you hours- literally hours!!! I have lived beside the park all my life-trust me. Walk to Dundrum (if your car is there). Did you not see the bit about giving yourself an extra 3 hours travel time!!

    The Google map you included is for a normal day, not a concert day- that’s an additional 3/6 hours of time, seriously!! I laugh at your silly Google Map!

    Stayed till the end of the show. Took the marathon bus to city. Zero traffic. Took about 30 min.

    Ended up parking at the Nutgrove shopping centre, zero hassle and was very easy driving home, zero traffic! Worked out well. What a concert!

    Walked out during Setting Sun, took the shuttle back to Dundrum & was back in Wicklow w/ a pint in front of me by 11:35.

    google maps FTW .

    I’ll join you in walking back to Dundrum! I’m heading north after the show so hopefully not hitting the traffic!
    Great meeting you, D. Hope to see you in Manchester as well.

    I think it took us an hour to walk far enough and catch a cab back to Temple bar area.  For those scared off on the venue they missed out.  Loved the show even if they only played amazing songs.

    The crowd’s energy was amazing, and was probably the highlight for me. 
    The DM material sounded great live… React Respond does little for me in general, but I really enjoyed it last night.

    Mrs Merkin Baller remarked it’s a good thing we didn’t walk w/ you, we would have only slowed you down. 🤣
