    My worst Irish event experience was the ’00 semi v Offaly

    ‘Still can’t bring meself to talk about it…

  2. I, Scooperman

    My worst Irish event experience was at EP a few years ago. I was rolling up a joint and a lovely looking young wan came over and started chatting to me. Turned out she was an undercover cop and I was nicked. Sh1t times.

    My worst Irish event experience was getting splashback from a long drop at Electric Picnic a few years a go.

  4. Formerly known as @ireland.com

    My worst Irish event experience was discovering that the two ‘U2 Slane 2001’ tickets I bought from a scalper, had the same serial no.

  5. Clampers Outside!

    Witnness Festival… 2001…. on arrival on Saturday it was cold, wet, the mood was hostile and the main arena was like a scene from the walking dead as we stumbled into it…. a field of vomiting teenagers each propping up the other. A horrible waste of time and money…

    1. Mani

      My worst event experience was Witness 2001….I thought Clampers would be gone for the weekend, had a camel booked and two tonnes of sand to help his Ma fulfil her ‘Erotic Sands of Arabia’ fantasy.

    ‘My worst Irish event experience was getting a brick thrown at me by an off-duty Garda during an anti-water charges protest’. And I have the photos to prove it…

  7. Selfie Sensation

    My worst Irish Event experience was as a teenager at the “Day Trip to Tipp” for the Feilé proto-revival in 1997. It was a shambles from start to end and the bands were all terrible and looked almost as bored as the crowd did. The worst part however was the next day when rather than bear the embarrassment of having gone to a crap festival, we told our lucky friends who had not gone that it was in fact great craic, the highlight of the summer and it would be sometime before there was another gig like that etc etc etc.

    I remember distinctly the creeping sense of shame as I colluded in the spinning of this web of lies, the disgusting feeling of my schadenfreude in their jealousy. I should have had the strength to stand up and say no! it was shite, this is a lie, never will I go to Feilé again and if a Gig is sh1t I will tell you all!

  8. Me Myself

    My worst Irish event experience was when I attended David Geraghty in The Button Factory a few years back which as it happened I attended on my own. I had kind of a sick stomach and a slight pain in my side. So as a result I thought that the obvious answer was to drink Guinness as opposed to Bulmers (because it would be much easier on my stomach). I decided to drink through the discomfort and persevere through the rest of the gig. In hind sight might not have been the wisest decision as early the next morning I ended up in A&E in Beaumont hospital and had to have emergency surgery to have my appendix removed. Worst event experience ever! (Great gig though……I think!)

    Oasis at Slane a few years back. We had to walk for miles with hundreds others past far too-few Dublin buses, which had frustrating amounts of room inside but were not letting any more people on. We were completely out of Cigarettes and Alcohol and Dublin seemed like Half the World Away. We were picked up at about 6am on a country road by a random passing bus. The driver took pity on us Crying our Hearts Out. Before our rescue we had soggy chips sold to us from a derelict boarded-up pub and rested in a ditch for a while. It took 9 hours to get from Slane to Dublin. I didn’t even live here at the time and had to sleep on a wooden floor in a mates house when we finally arrived. Haven’t been back to Slane since…I try not to look Back in Anger but to this day I still get the sweats whenever Wonderwall comes on the radio… D’You know what I mean?

  10. ZeligIsJaded

    My worst Irish event experience was Féile 1994. My first big concert. 16 years old and raring to go. Bought a bottle of vodka for the ‘weekend’, but like an idiot, managed to drink most of it on the train to Thurles. My partners in crime (let’s call them B & C) drank similar amounts.

    Upon exiting the train, we went about navigating our way to our B&B for the night.

    The rest in a bit of a blur, but by the time we got there, I’d managed to piss down the front of my trousers.
    B, who was 15 and a young 15 at that, had managed to slash his hand on broken glass, and was crying pretty loudly about it.
    C had acquired glow sticks from somewhere. Thinking it would be cool to open the sticks to spray the glow-in-the-dark liquid all over our clothes, he was biting the top off one stick when it sprayed into his mouth causing a fit of coughing that resulted in a bout of vomiting. So he had to proceed with puke covered clothes and a glow-in-the-dark face.

    I’m not 100% sure how long it took us to find the B&B (can’t have been more than 20 mins), but by the time we got there we looked worse than some of those I’ve seen returning from 3 days at EP.

    Fair play to the lady of the house for letting us in at all. We eventually made it to the gig and sat quietly. Too hungover and sick to do anything else.

  11. Conor

    My worst Irish event experience was one that never took place, The Killers were due to play he Point in 2006 but had to cancel at short notice as he was sick. My 18th birthday present down the drain :(

    A circus was playing in a town near ours and, for some unknown reason, they sent a smaller version to our town. It comprised a leaky tent and about four performers. These same performers appeared dressed in different coloured clothes, under different names, for the duration of the show. One time they were the Romanov family from Russia, another time the same group were called the Bordas from Hungary etc.
    My neighbour and I had brought our children to the circus, as a treat, but they got more pleasure from playing in the mud under our tiered seating. We enjoyed guessing the next country that the performers would claim to be from. Their stunts and antics could be seen in any large town on a Saturday night so we were less than enthralled.

    My worst Irish event experience was my sisters wedding

    I passed out on top of the wedding cake and got sick on her dress

  14. Robert

    My worst Irish event experience was the time I en[Comment Incomplete Due to Dropped Wifi Coverage At Technology Event. Systems Report: More Than Two People Using Wifi Simultaneously].

  15. Sheila

    My worst Irish event experience was trying to get on the bus home after the AC/DC gig at Punchestown. Funny that, probably the only time I wanted to punch anyone.

  16. RoRo Shabadoo

    My worst Irish event experience was having a very inebriated man expel urine upon my leg at a Metallica gig in the RDS. How very un-rock and roll.

  17. Dav

    My worst event experience was the Leaving Cert: two years of teachers haranguing you about it being the most important exam you’ll ever sit that leads to a great deal of stress and anxiety in the end. Which isn’t to say that they were completely wrong, just that a little less fire and brimstone would’ve been nice…

  18. pooter

    I went to all the Munster rugby matches. And I had a ticket for the match in Thomond Park on 31st October 1978. Against the All Blacks. However, as fate would have it, I had the flu and could not go…… What a match to miss. Definitely my worst ever event experience. Still have the ticket though.

  19. Mike Dublin

    My worst Irish experience ever is going to see the Pope when I was four. We were there FOREVER and my granny was sitting on the only deck chair we had. God, I wanted that chair. I was so jealous. There she was sitting smugly on that lovely light blue heavenly comfortable striped nylon chair surrounded by Moo mint wrappers……. god rest her.

  20. bobsyerauntie

    My worst Irish event experience was when some eegits thought it would be fun to topple over the portaloo at Oxegen, with me in it!..

  21. Paraic Elliott

    My worst event experience was not being allowed to go and see QUEEN at Slane in 1986 as I was only 13 and too young (according to my mother) I was a huge fan and they never toured again which Is something that saddens me to this day, (both my brother and sister went and had a ball).

  22. Mr T

    My worst Irish event experience was going to Fun Land, hosted in the local field; it isn’t actually a field, but merely a place which has fewer rocks than anywhere else. First, I went to see the cliffs but I was told they were closed, in actual fact, according to a friendly priest I met, it turned out they were gone due to erosion. Then I decided to go see the Spider-Baby, it’s got the body of a spider, and the mind of a baby. Unfortunately, on my way there I got stuck on the Crane of Death after I sat down for a rest on a seemingly inconspicuous bench. Next thing I knew I woke up covered in bandages back at home…

  23. Annie

    My worst Irish event experience was bringing my ticket to a comedy gig to Body and Soul instead of my actual ticket.

    1. Mani

      In fairness to the Pope, he was done in an hour. You would have been stuck there for three if it was Bruce.

  24. Royal M

    My worst Irish concert experience was when Bjork was supposed to be supporting u2 in the RDS, only to be replaced by the Golden Horde.

  25. joe gregory

    My worst Irish event was a competition, organised by Broadsheet, that had a closing time of 1:00pm. I rushed to submit an entry at 12:40pm. Then it was extended to 2:45pm. Then it was extended to 4:45pm. Foolish me – I assumed that those time extensions were all intended for the same day, but even now, at 1:30pm on the next day, the competition is still running. Perpetual motion has been achieved!
