When should I arrive?
Allow at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. That means, allow two hours on top of the time Google Maps is telling you it will take.
When you get to either of the two entrances, you will have to walk an extra roughly 1.3km from the park entrance to the ticket scan/entry.
There are two entrances:
The green entrance is on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the blue entrance is on All Saints Road via Tennis Court entry.
There is no entry or exit on Mount Prospect Avenue.

St Anne's Park is a residential area – organisers have appealed to all concertgoers to respect the local community by not littering, engaging in antisocial behaviour or parking illegally.
How do I get there and home again?
Plan and book your travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. As traffic delays are inevitable, fans are encouraged by promoters to walk, cycle, use public transport and private coach services.
By DART:
The nearest DART station is Harmonstown Dart Station and they will run services to and from the concerts each day.
By car:
There is no public parking at the event, and car parks in St Anne's are not open to the public during events, so promoters have asked fans to use public transport and not to park illegaly or in residential areas as clamping will be in operation.
By bus:
You can get Dublin Bus No 6, H1, H2, and H3 to the venue from Abbey Street Lower.
Marathon Coaches are also running return buses to and from the City Centre to St Anne's Park for the concert. Buses leave from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will be leaving the coach park at 11pm sharp.
What are they expected to play?
Obviously, we never know what a band are going to play until the night itself, but here is a taster of what fans can expect, based on the setlist for their recent concert at Vestrock 2025 in the Netherlands last week:

What's the story with security?
Under-16s attending the concert must be accompanied at all times by an adult over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. The promoter deems that large outdoor concerts are not a suitable environment for children under five, and all attendees must have a ticket.
No queuing is allowed prior to the gates opening, and attendees are advised to allow time for security checks on the way in. If you do turn up early, you will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Regardless, you should aim to be within the venue 30 minutes before the show starts.
Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted. All bags may be searched, and this can be time-consuming, so consider going bagless for easier entry. There will be no cloakroom or storage facilities. No alcohol or food is allowed into the arena.
Other banned items at the event include – but are not exclusive to – umbrellas, garden furniture, camping chairs, e-scooters, e-bikes, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans.
There is also no re-admission to the concert, so if you leave, you cannot re-enter.
Can I take photos at the concert?
Smartphones and small digital cameras are permitted, but cameras with long or detachable lenses or recording equipment are not. GoPros and iPads are also prohibited.
What's the weather giving?
At the time of writing, Friday is expected to be dry but cloudy, with temperatures ranging between 10 and 15 degrees. It is giving some rain for the evening time, AKA concert time, though, so be aware of that.
St Anne's Park is a standing-only venue, and all gigs take place outdoors on grass, so regardless of the forecast, dress accordingly for Irish weather – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and suncream. But remember, no umbrellas.
