We hear why Bruce Springsteen lost the plot, how promoter Peter Aiken blew all his money on a circus and about Alex Conyngham’s life as a young aristocrat rising through the ranks, from backstage VIP security to become Slane boss.

Plus, Moby tells us couldn't really warm to Slane headliner Bryan Adams.
