Does anybody know what the story is with being allowed bring drink to these concerts?

**Drumcondra Red** · 17/08/2005, 9:06 AM

No, obviously you can't, its called Bud Rising, as in Budwiser, you know??? Anyway, no.

Thnks for pointing that out

Anyone intelligent people care to offer advice?

I think you'll find if you sit down and think about it for 2 seconds you might find the answer, what other gigs are you allowed bring drink into? None! Now why do you think this would be any different?

Also why would Budweiser go to the trouble of paying big money to sponser these events if people were allowed bring their own booze???

Is that intellegent enough for you???

I apologise for my first reply as I honestly thought you were taking the p�ss

I think you'll find that other festivals have areas where you are allowed bring your own drink into. Oxegen is sponsored by Heineken - you can bring your own drink into the campsite. Marlay Park is a big place. It is conceiveble (maybe just to some) that one could possibly drink in areas outside the actual concert enclosure. Think outside the box for a minute.

My experience of festivals leads me to believe that it's better to drink anything but Bud,especially watered down Bud at crazy prices.

Thats in the campsite, of course you can drink in Marley Park but the actual venue isn't that big so there's a whole park to play around with, and a bus journey from town, but obviously you can't bring drink into the venue!

I'm going to both. Actually the reason i asked the question is cos i'm working on friday and i'll be running tight on time so would just like to know the score. Sarcasm can be explained by lack of ANY information on the net Drumcondra Red (i could go on to ask when it came about you speak for 'anybody', but i won't

).

Anyhoo, me the same on Sonic Youth. Haven't heard anything recent from them. Last time i probably took any notice of them was back in the No Disco days. Both Donal Dineen and myself have moved on at least. It'll be interesting to see if they have.

Echo & The Bunnymen opened the festival on 1/6/05 in the Village... That was shortly before I left Dublin for Belfast, I lived very close to the Village then. Given the fact that I usually had to travel abroad to see my favourite band, that was an easy one, and the goth pub was nicely represented

It's nothing different from other festivals. At least, I didn't notice any difference. Maybe people who drink alcohol would see it otherwise though ; I heard they only served Budweiser and no other beers, which some people obviously didn't like.

Doesn't the festival close in Lansdowne Road with gigs of Maroon 5, Jem, Scissors Sisters and Franz Ferdinand?
Don't know if it has any connection with BudRising, but the exact same line-up is playing the Botanic Gardens in Belfast... plus Faithless

I think I'll be in Bangor that weekend... I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway with that noise.
