    @James Rock: Heading to Barcelona with my son to see The Weeknd. Cheapest tickets were €30 less expensive than Dublin. It would make you wonder…

    Retired from the festival game about a decade ago. Tough on the body, and soul.

    Some people will be more comfortable attending services in churches, temples and mosques. A minority will get their thrills attending naturist gatherings at discreet, isolated beaches along the Wild Atlantic Way.
