Even the Notorious needs a pass: Viral video shows McGregor left outside Longitude gates
The multi-millionaire sportsman McGregor turned up at the festival in Marley Park on Sunday night in one of his flashy sports cars.
But even though he's one of the most recognisable faces in the country, and had his nickname stitched on his hoodie, it didn't appear to be enough to get him past security without a VIP pass. A file image of Conor McGregor. Pic: Dave Benett/WireImage
The Crumlin-born fighter was seen strutting about with his mobile phone stuck to his ear as security guards looked on.
McGregor's attendance -outside- Longitude could have been to collect his mate 50 Cent who was playing out the last set at the summer festival.

Ahead of his rap gig at Marlay Park, 50 Cent showed up at McGregors Black Forge Pub in Crumlin.
McGregor and 50 Cent have, by all accounts, kissed and made up after the pair of celebrities had been embroiled in an unseemly eight-year spat.
The pair's encounter comes after a history of online beef, which ignited around McGregor's 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.

The American artist, better known as Curtis Jackson, dropped into The Black Forge Inn where McGregor was on hand to greet him with the now-best-bro's sharing a warm hug.
And it was a case of double celebration as 50 turned 50 on Sunday night so he celebrated his milestone birthday in Dublin City.
It is not clear if McGregor managed to convince the security team at Marlay Park to allow him into the festival.
