On Sunday, Dolan's Presents issued an alert that the opening times were to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions. But despite the elements, thousands enjoyed the Docklands' grand finale, featuring a talented line-up of Ryan McMullen, Thanks Brother, Josh Grey and headliner The Coronas. 

There was huge praise for the concert series on social media throughout the weekend.

Shannon Foynes Port Company tweeted: "As the curtains come down on a fantastic weekend festival of music. Congratulations to the team @DolansPresents. Looking forward to 2020."

Public figure and former secretary general of the Department of Finance, John Moran described the Jenny Greene performance as "superb". 

"Even the rain could not dampen a fabulous concert. Such a fresh retake on RTÉ symphony. I say move them to Limerick if Dublin do not want to finance them," said the Land Development Agency chairperson. 

Dolan's Presents took to Twitter to thank the thousands who attended the concerts over the Bank Holiday weekend.
