For generations, concerts at Slane Castle have marked the pinnacle of summer, where the biggest acts and sounds in music would come to play in the late Henry Mountcharles’s enormous backyard.Have you rocked out on the Co Meath venue’s natural amphitheatre hill over the last 45 years? Was it special or a downright slog? Do you have stories or anecdotes you’d like to share? We’d like to hear the best of our readers’ memories from Slane Castle in advance of this weekend’s concerts, headlined by country music star Luke Combs. Who was the best band you saw there and why? Were you there in the early days for the big sounds of U2 and Thin Lizzy, Queen and David Bowie? Did you catch the 1990s era where Michael Stipe wowed his fans with What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? on R.E.M.’s 1995 Monster tour. Or did you sing your heart out in 1999 when Robbie Williams electrified the crowd with Let me Entertain You. Perhaps you only discovered Slane in more recent years when Harry Styles serenaded a sea of pink feather boas in 2023.Using the form below let us know your thoughts in 300 words or less.
