May bank holiday travel chaos to hit Wicklow as Dart stations close
Last year, a shuttle bus service operated as there were late shows scheduled over the weekend for the festival at Mermaid Arts Centre. However, this is not the case this year as there are no late night shows.
Instead, festival organisers have advised concertgoers attending shows at Mermaid Arts Centre and Bray Town Hall, that there is free evening parking available underground at Bray Civic Plaza (behind the council buildings).
Meanwhile, Iarnrod Eireann has advised that due to engineering works between Grand Canal Dock and Greystones will mean the following service alterations and amendments will occur:
There will be no Dart services between Grand Canal Dock and Greystones.
Dart services will operate between Grand Canal Dock and Howth/Malahide.
The following Dart stations will be closed: Lansdowne Rd, Sandymount, Sydney Parade, Booterstown, Blackrock, Seapoint, Salthill and Monkstown, Dun Laoghaire, Sandycove and Glasthule, Glenageary, Dalkey, Killiney, Shankill, Bray, Greystones and Kilcoole.
Dublin Bus/Go-Ahead Ireland will accept valid rail tickets for travel between closed stations.
The engineering works will also impact the Rosslare services, whereby bus transfers will operate directly from Dublin Connolly to Wicklow, and a second bus transfer will run from Dun Laoghaire to Bray, Greystones and Wicklow. For details on Rosslare train times, go to irishrail.ie

Oasis Live 25 tour at Croke Park in Dublin: Everything you need to know
After a 16-year hiatus, Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, are back on stage together and will play two huge gigs in Dublin on August 16 and 17. The brothers are burying the hatchet with this long-awaited UK and Irish tour, which will be the band's first gig here since Slane Castle in 2009. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the event: When and where is it? Oasis bring their highly-anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17. Are there any tickets left? The gig is entirely sold out. However, a number of limited resale tickets may become available on Ticketmaster. But be prepared to act fast. If they do become available, these tickets are likely to sell in seconds! What time do gates open? Doors for the gig open at 5pm, with the first support act expected at 6pm. Strictly no camping is permitted outside the venue. If patrons do turn up early, they will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Queuing in streets around Croke Park will cause disruption to local residents. Organisers are appealing to patrons to respect the local community. Attendees should plan to be within Croke Park 45 minutes before the show starts. Who is the support act? There will be two supports acts on both nights – Richard Ashcroft, former frontman of the Verve, and Cast, a Liverpool band led by John Power. What is the Oasis setlist? Based the band's set list from their first gig in Cardiff's Principality Stadium in July, here are some songs they will likely play: - Hello - Acquiesce - Morning Glory - Some Might Say - Bring It on Down - Cigarettes & Alcohol - Fade Away - Supersonic - Roll With It - Talk Tonight - Half the World Away - Little By Little - D'You Know What I Mean? - Stand By Me - Cast No Shadow - Slide Away - Whatever - Live Forever - Rock 'n' Roll Star - Encore - The Masterplan - Don't Look Back in Anger - Wonderwall - Champagne Supernova How do I get there? Public Transport is strongly advised for everybody who has a ticket. Plan and book your return travel arrangements in advance. As traffic and parking delays are inevitable, you are encouraged to walk, cycle, or use public transport. Bus Plenty of buses serving the city centre stop near Croke Park. A list of buses which go to Croke Park are as follows: Dublin Bus routes 1, 6, 7(a), 11, 13, 15, 16, 27(a/b), 33, 40(b/d/e), 41(b/c/d), 42, 43, 44, 53a, 122, 123, 130, H1, H2, H3. Check the Dublin Bus website for up-to-date schedules. Dart or Luas Croke Park is roughly a 20-minute walk from Connolly Station, or 25 minutes from Clontarf Station. Check the Irish Rail website for up-to-date schedules. Croke Park is a 15 to 20-minute walk from most city centre Luas stops. Car There is no car park onsite at the stadium. Increased traffic volumes and local road closures before, during and after events cause significant delays in the area. But if you choose to drive it is recommended you carpool. Here are some nearby carparks: O'Connell Schools' Supervised Car Park, North Circular Road. The car park is open for 2 hours before all events and 1 hour after events. Other options include the 24-hour Q-Park at The Spire or Parnell Centre. What's the security like? The event is for over-14s only and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above. Make sure to bring an official form of identification with you – a passport, Garda age card or driving licence will suffice. Show your ticket at the ticket check outside the venue for inspection, everyone will be subject to a search. Bags larger than A4, signs/flags bigger than A3, flag poles, glass or cans, umbrellas, alcohol, selfie sticks, flares, professional cameras and audio recording equipment will not be permitted. Patrons are advised not to bring large backpacks as they may experience delays or be refused entry. No personal bottles will be permitted upon entry as the event is a 'full pour' pitch. Every drink will be decanted into soft cups.
