With all eyes on the Minister for Finance, this is it - his Woodstock, his Glastonbury, his time to take to the main stage and rock the nation!
Miraculously, the Gift Grub team swindled a few VIP passes to the show (we know people, ok), and recorded the backstage antics.
With his tour manager Leo Varadkar by his side, he's ready to face the masses, and goes all out, "are you wearing leather pants Paschal?".
Like any superstar, his demands are high and he has made plenty of allowances for his own 'rider' selection, "six large bottles of Grey Goose, rolling papers...".
His setlist is off the Richter, as Leo advises him to stick to the crowd-pleasers, "cigarettes & alcohol, single income allowance".
After his epic performance, Matt Cooper, and a few more of his groupies, are desperate to get some of the action...so he sharpens his sharpie.
Roll on the afterparty!!!
