The event will take place “rain, hail or shine”, so make sure you dress for Irish weather. Wellies, ponchos and suncream are all recommended to suit the climate, but remember: no umbrellas!

Under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over 25, while under 5’s are not recommended to attend. Standing tickets are only available to people aged 14 or older and no under 16’s will be allowed on the pitch.

Walking, public transport and private coach services are recommended as traffic delays are inevitable and parking is limited. 

Patrons of the concerts are asked to respect the neighbours by not littering, engaging in anti-social behaviour, or parking illegally. 

You must enter through the gate outlined on your ticket. The Red/Green entrance off Knockalisheen Road will take East Stand, Gold Circle, Pitch and Premium ticket holders, while the Blue entrance on Cratloe Road will cater for the West Stand.

Ticket checks and security searches will take place at the entrances.

If you leave during the concert you will not be allowed to re-enter the venue, and concertgoers are asked not to rush to the exits after the concert is over.

If you need to collect your tickets, you can do so at the Ticketmaster box office, which will be located at the junction of Cratloe Road and Knockalisheen Road.
