The finishing touches are being put to Ireland's largest bar, which the organisers of tomorrow's Slane concert estimate will dispense 200,000 pints.
The dimensions of the bar, with its 240 taps, highlight the awesome scale of the organisation which goes into staging a concert in the grounds of the Co Meath castle.
"Everyone is working flat out," Lord Mount Charles said. "The stage is up, the catering facilities are in place, and we are attending to the final countdown."
Hundreds of construction workers were busy erecting two 40-foot-wide television screens on either side of the huge central screen yesterday afternoon. Four mobile electricity generators, each capable of powering a large village, were in place and the first of an army of 800 security personnel were already working to guard the concert area.
A fleet of 40 chip vans will feed the crowds and 450 mobile toilets complete the facilities in the field bordered by the castle and the Boyne river.
Even factors which the organisers cannot arrange were falling nicely into place yesterday, with Met Eireann predicting fine weather for tomorrow afternoon and evening. While there is a possibility of drizzle in the morning, it will clear up to be a bright day with temperatures reaching the low 20sC, with a warm balmy evening, according to the meteorologist Mr Jerry Scully.
The last of the 80,000 tickets were snapped up a month ago. Despite their £34.50 price, 25,000 were sold within four hours of going on sale.
"This is the second year on the trot that we have sold out, and this show sold faster than any other show in my 18 years in this business," Lord Mount Charles said.
Last year Robbie Williams was part of the support bill, topped by The Verve. This year he returns as the star attraction.
Mr Eamonn McCann, the concert's joint promoter, warned that Slane village would be closed to non-ticket-holders and non-residents from 10 p.m. today until 2 a.m. on Sunday.
"There will be Garda checkpoints a mile each side of the village and if you do not have a ticket, you will not get through," Mr McCann said.
The organisers are also warning that all ticket-holders under 18 must be accompanied by an adult or they will be turned away.
"Parents cannot drop off their children at Slane and come back later in the evening and collect them," he said. "We are not accepting responsibility for 10-year-olds."
As part of the Garda traffic plan for the weekend, there will be official car-parks in the vicinity of the village which will have lighting, toilets and security.
Traffic using the N2 will be diverted around Slane, turning at Cushingstown on the Dublin side of the village, and returning to the N2 at Collon.
