Everything you need to know about Oasis in Croke Park
After bust-ups, smash hits and break-ups, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally put their differences aside and taken to the road for their first gigs in over 16 years, kicking off their Live 25 tour with two triumphant gigs at Cardiff's Principality Stadium at the start of July.
Former members of the group have also made a return with Andy Bell on bass, Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs on guitars and renowned drummer Joey Waronker behind the kit.
The Manchester rockers last played in Ireland in 2009 when they headlined Slane Castle, performing to over 80,000 fans, so excitement levels are through the roof for Irish fans of the iconic Britpop band.
Find out the important details of Oasis' Croke Park gigs below.
When and where
Oasis bring their highly-anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park on Jones' Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August 2025.
Getting there
Croke Park is within easy reach of the city centre and Dublin Airport and is well serviced by transport links.
Walking/Cycling
The stadium is just a 30 minute walk or 10 minute cycle from O'Connell Street in the city centre.
Driving
Increased traffic volumes and local road closures lead to significant delays on concert days. The roads surrounding the stadium are residential and car parking is limited, with restrictions in place. Organisers advise concert goers to use public transport.

A large number of Dublin Bus routes bring you close to Croke Park and others will get you to the city centre which is within walking distance.

Full details at TFI.ie
Train/Dart/Luas
The closest railway station is Drumcondra at the intersection of Drumcondra Road (N1) and Clonliffe Road, a five-minute walk from the stadium.
The closest Dart stations are Connolly and Clontarf which are both less than half an hour's walk from the stadium.
The closest Luas stop is also at Connolly Station on the Red Line. The Parnell and Marlborough Green Line Luas stops are also close by.
Approach Routes
BLUE ROUTE (Hogan Stand): Enter via Jones Road and Russell Street.
RED ROUTE (Cusack Stand): Enter via St James Avenue and Foster Terrace.
YELLOW ROUTE (Davin Stand): Enter via St Margaret's Terrace.
GREEN ROUTE (PITCH A): Enter via Josephs Avenue.
RED ROUTE (PITCH B & C): Enter via St James Avenue and Foster Terrace.
Opening time of the venue
Admission begins at 5pm. Strictly no early queuing or camping permitted. Stage times will be released closer to the concert dates.
Can I still buy tickets?
Unfortunately not! The tickets have long been snapped up for these gigs following a dynamic pricing furore. Fans can keep an eye on Ticketmaster for official resale tickets and see if they get lucky.
What to expect
Expect to hear over 80,000 rabid Irish Oasis fans screaming at the top of their lungs along to the band's sizeable back-catalogue of hits! By all accounts, Liam and Noel are on top form for the reunion tour.
Following a triumphant return to the stage in Cardiff on 4 July, they went on to play emotionally charged, hit-laden sets when they kicked off a five-date homecoming run in Manchester on 11 July.
They'll play five nights at London's Wembley Stadium and three at Edinburgh's Murrayfield so the lads are sure to be primed and ready for their two-nighter at Croke Park in August.
We imagine the Dublin leg of the tour will carry extra significance for the Gallagher brothers due to their deep ties to Ireland - their parents Peggy and Thomas are both Irish and they consider it a strong part of their identity.
Setlist
Setlists are always subject to change, but here's the one from their Heaton Park, Manchester gig on 12 July.

New Ross historical society to welcome distinguished guest for next lecture
On Thursday, July 24 at 8 p.m., the lecture will highlight those who emigrated from County Wexford and helped build Savannah in 19th Century. Kehoe, Rossiter, Doyle, Corish, Furlong and many more household names who are descendants of Wexford families are acknowledged as emigrants to that area and New Ross, Ireland's furthest inland port in Ireland was the centre of emigration, before and after the famine. Wealthy ship owning families like the Howlett, Graves, Doyle, and Galavan families traded from New Ross, which further links the historical town with various places all over the world. Dr. Howard J. Keeley PhD. is Assistant Professor and Director of the Irish Research and Teaching at Georgia Southern University in USA and Director of the Wexford Campus Initiative in Wexford, who is also well known for his vast research into emigration from the southeast of Ireland over the last two centuries, is due to appear at the lecture and give an insight into the topic while on his trip to Ireland. The society described the upcoming event as 'an illustrated lecture not to be missed'.

Ryan Tubridy: Trips to Limerick and Cork remind me how I enjoy Irish hospitality
One of the great things about spending so much time in London is an enhanced appreciation of and for Irish hospitality. I marvel at the way Irish hotels (especially family concerns) are run with such warmth, passion and customer care. In my experience, this doesn't exist in great abundance in the UK. That isn't to say the British experience isn't polished and professional. It simply lacks warmth, an intangible resource that Irish hospitality has to its fingertips. Ryan Tubridy. Pic: Nick Edwards I landed at the perfectly formed and extraordinarily well-run Shannon Airport on Wednesday evening (after an impeccable flight with Aer Lingus, whose staff remain the best I've ever flown with, bar none) and from the get-go, the warmth I'm talking about was obvious. I bumped into some staff on my way to the car park, and they were beaming with happiness and so professional in the way they carried themselves. I had the loveliest chat with Mike, who took me to my hotel in Limerick. Along the way, we chatted about the landmarks, from Bunratty Castle and Durty Nelly's to the River Shannon and King John's Castle. We covered the current political scene in both Ireland and America before our brief but enjoyable journey came to an end as we landed at the Savoy, a beautiful, central and modern hotel in the heart of the city. Ryan Tubridy. Pic: Instagram/Ryan Tubridy I was greeted by the owners, Ronan and Anne Branigan, whose reputation for being among the best in their business precedes them with great justification. I was pretty late checking in, but found time to pop into O'Mahony's Bookshop, which has been in business for 100 years and is still thriving. I just about made it in time to say hi to the staff, who filled me in on what the big sellers are and how business is going in general (very well, thankfully). I did a radio show from the shop 15 years ago (I think!) so I always have a soft spot for the place, which remains a family-owned business, giving it that wonderful air of book-loving authenticity. Terry Wogan. Pic:From there, I strolled down by the riverside where I paid my respects to the Terry Wogan statue and, not too far away, the Richard Harris statue – two proud sons of Limerick, pictured above right, well remembered by the good people of the city. I also found time to pop into a tattoo parlour. Don't worry, I wasn't 'inked'. A tattooist got in touch with me on my Virgin radio show when he heard I was going to be in Limerick and asked me to pop into his pal if I was passing by, so I did and a selfie was had. (Thanks to Jake, who may still be in shock after he saw me coming through the door.) I asked Instagram followers (God, I hate that word in this context) for suggestions of things to do in Limerick, and I was inundated. I had to write a list and promise to return and spend more time here to properly visit the city. Ryan Tubridy. Pic: Nick Edwards I did manage an early morning run along the three bridges and the city was at its most beautiful and calm. We did the radio show from our sister station, Limerick Live 95, which was a great experience and allowed me to meet the cracking crew who populate that brilliant station. A quick visit to the Richard Harris exhibition at the Hunt Museum and a speedy tour of King John's Castle was all I could fit in but it was well worth the time. I was well looked after before I had to hop in a car and head for Cork city, where I had a very chilled afternoon reconnecting with a city I hadn't been in for years. I checked into the history nerd's favourite hotel, the Imperial, and then to dinner at Jacob's with the Cork 96 and Onic bosses, who filled me in on the comings and goings in the byzantine but never boring world of Irish radio. Pic: Ryan Tubridy/Instagram It was a lovely, convivial gathering and the word 'Sláinte' was heard many times, but I didn't hang around as I was on duty at Cork 96 the next morning, and I had a particularly big job the following night, so it was back to the Imperial with me in good time. The radio show went off without a hitch, and from there, I was on the road again, but this time, bound for beautiful Bantry and the West Cork Literary Festival. I'm a sucker for a book festival so when they asked me to come and interview Graham Norton on Friday night, I didn't put up an argument. We checked into the breathtaking Seaview House, where that welcome I've mentioned a few times in this diary was in evidence at every turn. Another family-run hotel, this time it was the gracious Ronan and Suzanne O'Sullivan who looked after our every need. My one regret was that it was only a one-night stay. After an early and thoroughly enjoyable dinner with friends, it was time to go and interrogate Graham, whom I've interviewed many times over the years and who treated me to a delicious lunch when I first landed in London. The event was sold out a long time ago, the place was packed, and the craic was mighty. Graham was in exceptionally good form, and the crowd lapped him up. Photos, chats and vino followed, and a tremendous night was had by all. Kudos to the festival organisers who pulled together a relaxed, easygoing and intriguing series of events. It's one that will run and run. From Bantry, it was back to Dublin to spend some time with the important women in my life, who I am happy to say are my favourite people in the world. I'll head back to London this evening, safe in the knowledge that family is king (and queen) when it comes to hospitality, hotels and the heart.

Slow travel in Ireland's Hidden Heartlands can be exciting for all the family
Switching off, it's the hardest thing to do. We all lead busy lives which sometimes makes it impossible to slow down, take a breath and just be in the moment. Technology doesn't make this any easier. We're always just one click away from instant access to news and emails, not to mention the hours we spend scrolling through social media. Yet on a recent break to Offaly, I found myself managing to do just that as I switched off, relaxed and enjoyed a wholesome family break in Ireland's Hidden Heartlands. READ MORE: Explained: What is Ryanair's new baggage rule and when does it come into effect? READ MORE: Discover Indianapolis and get back to what America is really all about Despite being just a 90-minute drive from Dublin, Offaly is one of those counties that is sometimes overlooked by Irish tourists. And, I must admit, I am one of those tourists. Although I love exploring our little green isle, apart from one visit to the Bridge House Hotel in Tullamore over 10 years ago, I haven't ventured back to the Faithful County. The truth is with the likes of the Boyne Valley, with historic sites like Newgrange and, of course, Ireland's only theme park and zoo in Emerald Park, and the Wild Atlantic Way with 2,600km of coast which takes you from Donegal down to Cork, Offaly can sometimes be, well, hidden! But Offaly is ripe for exploring, offering a laidback option, especially for those who love and appreciate the outdoors. Last month I packed up my nephews and niece, aged 17 and 10 and 15, respectively, and set off for a break that ended up really testing how much they loved me — and me them! Two of them were out of their monthly phone data allowance, you see, which I thought would send them spiralling, while the youngest, who just got his first phone, realised 20 minutes down the motorway that he forgot his altogether. Thankfully, it's a short drive to Offaly and a game of 'Spot A Yellow Reg' kept them occupied until we hit our first stop, Birr Castle Demesne. A stretch of the legs was just what we all needed and no better place to do it than at Birr Castle with acres of both manicured and wild gardens to explore. Birr Castle is the home of the 7th Earl of Rosse, who still resides in the castle, and his family. At 89 years old, the Earl takes great pride in his grounds and still manages to look after his much-loved gardens, which are well discovered by many tourists as well as locals walking their dogs. Birr Castle is home to the 7th Earl of Rosse Given the castle is the residence of the Earl, it is not generally open to the public — apart from the odd tour during the summer — but the grounds and gardens of the demesne are publicly accessible, and include a brilliant science museum, which displays many incredible artefacts, the lovely Courtyard Café which serves delicious open sandwiches, soups and ice creams, as well as a reflecting telescope which was the largest in the world for over six decades. A walk in one direction of the grounds brings you along a space trail, where you will make 11 mapped-out stops, to learn all about our solar system — a real treat for two of my party who are true space lovers. There's also a great little playground on site for smaller kids as well as a gift shop. The Birr Castle Treehouse is usually a real draw for children and you can certainly see why, with its tree decks linked by rope bridges and secret tunnels, but unfortunately it is closed until 2026 for works — a great excuse for us to return next year! With the sun gods shining down on us the day of our visit, a trip to the Meelick Weir, which joins Offaly to Galway, was the perfect way to cool down. The weir walkway is about 300 metres in length — a short five-minute stroll, or two if you race it like my three did! You can pick up a tea, coffee or soft drink before you head onto the walkway and enjoy a leisurely stroll cross-county with the sounds of gushing water as you pass. Pure bliss. The 4-stay County Arms in Birr, Co Offaly When you come off the walkway you can continue on for a lovely trail walk. We were pushed for time so made our way back, stopping at the Banagher Outdoor Pool on the River Shannon for a quick dip before dinner in County Arms Birr. This is one of Ireland's most unusual, and free-to-use, pools, situated with Offaly on one side and Galway on the other. Dinner at County Arms, a 4-star hotel, was just what we needed after an active day of sightseeing. While the hotel is all-luxury, the food on offer in Bar 62 is comfort at its finest. We tucked into nachos, pizzas, pasta and a smash burger. My niece claimed the pizza was 'the best I've ever tasted' which is high praise from a sometimes-moody 15-year-old — she's certainly never said that about any of my cooking! Our home for the night was in Kinnitty, just 15 minutes away from Birr, staying at Giltraps Glamping. This is an excellent option for families as kids will be thrilled by the elevated camping set-up. The Teletubbies-like grounds, which are kept in immaculate condition, are stunning for a morning tea on your deck while the quaint lodges offer everything you need for a relaxing stay. Giltraps Glamping in Kinnitty Boasting the comfiest of beds, you'll have a restful night sleep. And while wifi is offered for kids desperate for their phone fix, there are no TVs so you can still switch off. We played board games into the night before rising to a hand-delivered breakfast basket with sausage, egg and bacon baps and pastries which set us up for an epic afternoon of biking in Lough Boora Discovery Park. When we say hidden gems, Lough Boora Discovery Park is exactly what is meant. Made up of more than 2,000 hectares of cutaway boglands, this place is weird and wonderful in equal measure, with biking and hiking trails, picnic and play areas and a fairy route, a sculpture garden and even a Thomas the Tank Engine (that's the weird!) — though I was quickly corrected by the 10-year-old that this train is, in fact, Percy not Thomas! You can enjoy lunch at Ballycommon Bakehouse which looks out onto the water at Lough Boora Discovery Park You can wile away hours here just taking in the rugged landscape and gorgeous views before having lunch overlooking the water at Ballycommon Bakehouse on the parklands. This is a nature lover's paradise and was the perfect way to end our midweek 'slow travel' excursion that even three kids found exciting. That's a win!
