A regular concert goer says she will never go to a gig in Malahide Castle again after experiencing severe traffic jams in the carpark.
Fans of The Killers came to see the American rockband play on Tuesday night but many were disappointed with the carpark congestion.
Footage obtained by Dublin Live shows long queues of cars waiting to leave the carpark after the highly-anticipated gig.

One woman who travelled to the gig said that while public transport may be a great option for those living in Dublin, it doesn't suit people coming from other parts of the country.
She told Dublin Live that she will never step foot in Malahide Castle for a concert again.
She said: "We came straight out. We were at the exit to leave straight away. We never had an issue with parking there before.
"You should have seen the mayhem. There were seven or eight lanes coming out of one field trying to get into one lane.
"It just wasn't moving. There was nobody there to guide anybody. If I had a high vis jacket I would have coordinated it myself.
"We got back to where we live in Tipperary at 3 o'clock in the morning. It took us an hour and a half to get out of the carpark.
"I will never go to Malahide Castle again and I go to lots of gigs."

Fingal County Council, gardaí and MCD have advised people to take public transport to and from upcoming gigs in Malahide Castle.
They said: "We experienced a huge amount of interest in car-parking for the event, with online parking sales exceeding all expectations [and was more than double to what we’ve had before at other gigs].
"Whilst we did our best to safely get people in and out of the event, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to those caught up in the congestion that large amount of extra traffic created."
"We strongly urge the public to use public transport options to the venue wherever that is possible.
"There are excellent transport links that can bring people into the heart of the seaside town and it's just a short walk to Malahide Castle where the concerts are taking place."
Dublin Live have contacted MCD for comment.
