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 1pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will begin loading from there on demand from 10.30pm, with the last bus leaving at 11.30pm.
Approach routes:
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, and follow instructions on your ticket for entry to the venue, because your ticket will outline what route/entry to take.
The
green entrance
on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the

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.
Are there any tickets left?
At the time of writing, there are limited tickets available on Ticketmaster. Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only.
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 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?
Sunday is expected to be mostly dry, with the potential for some rain between 2-6pm. It should be mostly sunny otherwise though, with temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees during the day/night
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.

Terrifying moment golf star Jordan Spieth nearly strikes a fan at close range after huge blunder
Jordan Spieth came within inches of catastrophe on Sunday after nearly striking fans with a shot during the final round of the Memorial Tournament. On the first hole of the final day, the American hit his approach to the green from the rough to right of the fairway. But Spieth's shot barely made it off the ground. Instead the ball flew low - and right - towards the hundreds of fans gathered between him and the hole. Remarkable footage showed his ball soaring just inches over the head of supporters, who ducked and fell to the floor in panic. The three-time major winner has built a reputation for putting supporters through the ringer with rollercoaster rounds over recent years. And remarkably, despite the scary scenes, Spieth recovered to make a remarkable par at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Jordan Spieth almost just killed some of his fans. Holy moly. — Andy Nesbitt (@anezbitt) June 1, 2025 He had begun his round with a wayward tee shot that flew well right - towards the rough and the same group of spectators. Spieth reacted by letting go of his driver and signaling for the spectators to watch out. Then, after narrowly avoiding the fans once more, Spieth hit his third shot safely on the green and the world No 51 then rolled in a long par putt to escape with a four. It's not the first time that spectators have found themselves in the line of fire at major events in recent weeks. At last month's PGA Championship, a fan was struck on the head by a shot from LIV Golf star Jon Rahm. Thankfully, he avoided serious injury and Rahm apologized by giving the fan a signed glove. They then shared a handshake and a hug. Only a day earlier, Englishman Aaron Rai came within inches of hitting a fan in another terrifying incident at the PGA Championship. The world No 29 was taking a shot from the rough during his second round, with a bunch of spectators gathered to his right. A giant tree stood between Rai and his target and the Englishman attempted to keep the ball low to avoid the overhanging branches. Unfortunately, he miscued his shot, which flew perilously close to one fan before cannoning into the tree trunk and rebounding in the opposite direction.

Former PM Liz Truss joins bare-knuckle fight thug who battered OAP to launch his whiskey – and even copies catchphrase
LAUNCH party guest of honour Liz Truss happily joined in as a thug plugged his Irish whiskey. Bare-knuckle fighter Dougie Joyce attacked a man of 78 in a bar and has links to gangsters, while Truss hopes for a political comeback. 6 6 Joyce proudly handed her a bottle of the booze for a promotional video. He said his catchphrase: 'Just remember, Dougie Joyce loves ya.' The ex-PM then held up the spirit and beamed: ' Liz Truss loves you.' Last night, a source close to guest-of-honour Truss insisted she had not been paid to appear at last month's event at non-league Scunthorpe United's stadium. But that raised further questions over her apparent lack of judgment as she is considering a comeback to frontline politics. One source said: 'Liz Truss either doesn't understand the implications or doesn't care. Either way this is a serious lapse. 'Aggressive and violent man' 'She's a former Prime Minister and has to be extremely careful who she associates herself with. 'You have to wonder if anyone did the due diligence.' Joyce, who has links to the notorious Gooch gang, was captured on CCTV attacking the widower. He was seen shouting and pointing at his victim before unleashing three vicious blows. Joyce was jailed for 19 months by Manchester crown court in November 2023. At the time, Det Con Natalie Hollows said: 'Joyce is an aggressive and violent man. Liz Truss storms off stage after lettuce banner appears behind her during speech in awkward prank 'Joyce was wearing a large gold pyramid-style ring, causing significant injury.' Joyce later used a smuggled phone to film himself laughing in his prison cell. The 36-year-old married dad of three was handed a further 13-month sentence for violent disorder following a fight at a wake involving a rival family. It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister Liz Truss as a special guest. Dougie Joyce Traveller Joyce, who once boasted he would be 'the next Tyson Fury ', is a cousin of Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty — and was involved in a 2011 fight which saw part of Paddy's ear chewed off. Joyce, of Salford, now claims to have since turned his life around and says he is doing charity work. He wrote on Instagram of his launch for Joyce's Irish Whiskey: 'It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister Liz Truss as a special guest. 6 6 6 'Having her there truly meant a lot and added a distinguished touch to the occasion.' Last night he declined to comment. A spokesman for Truss — who lasted 49 days in No10 in 2022 — said: 'She attended the event to support the people working to regenerate the town and Scunthorpe FC.' At the weekend Truss, 49, appeared at a conference in Hungary with its PM Viktor Orban, a stooge of Russia's Vladimir Putin. Last year she was accused of 'propagating conspiracy theories' during a trip to the US. And she was criticised for taking part in an interview with President Donald Trump's controversial ex-strategist Steve Bannon — remaining silent as he praised far right activist Tommy Robinson as a 'hero'.

EastEnders give first look at Kat and Alfie's wedding ahead of major drama
EastEnders favourites Kat and Alfie, played by Jessie Wallace and Shane Ritchie, are heading for their third wedding, but will they end up making it down the aisle? Iconic EastEnders duo, Kat Slater and Alfie Moon, have been seen in some jaw-dropping first-look snaps released by the soap, wearing their wedding outfits. The fan favourites played by Jessie Wallace and Shane Ritchie are heading for their third marriage after Alfie pops the question in a romantic proposal in next week's episode. The calamitous couple, who have been married twice before, are hoping this marriage will be built to last. However, a series of dramatic events threatens to derail their happy day in classic Walford style. Seen with a pensive look on her face in Albert Square, sporting a gorgeous cream silk wedding dress with a matching cape strewn with flowers and a bejewelled headband, Kat looks like she's got the weight of the world on her shoulders as Alfie reaches out with a reassuring arm. However, in another snap, Mr Moon clambers into a cab as his bride-to-be watches on with a face like thunder as the rest of the Square, including Bobby Brazier, who plays Kat's nephew, Freddie Slater, cross their arms in annoyance. Kat and Afiie, who have been married twice before, first tied the knot on Christmas Day in 2003. The plucky publican made his bride's dream of a white wedding come true by hiring a snow machine for the big day. However, marital harmony was short-lived, and they later divorced before deciding to give their relationship another whirl in 2014 and remarried. Later, weighed down by financial struggles and after welcoming twins Bert and Ernie Moon, the couple hit the jackpot and left Walford in 2016. They subsequently appeared in the Ireland-based spin-off show, Kat and Alfie: Redwater. However, Kat ended things with Alfie off-screen and returned to Walford in 2018, before Alfie followed her back to Albert Square. Alfie actor Shane recently shared a big story line was in the offing for the Slater family. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at The British Soap Awards 2025, the Walford legend revealed there were huge scenes on the way. He promised an explosive new storyline that would top the soap's 40th anniversary. Not only that, but he revealed the storyline would run for months, continuing into next year. He remained tight-lipped over what and who would be involved, but teased "fireworks". He hinted it would involve Alfie and Kat, amid reports Kat's daughter Zoe will finally make her return to the show after decades. Michelle Ryan is tipped to reprise her role for the first time since 2005, so perhaps this is what Shane was referring to. Lifting the lid just a tad on the rumours, Shane revealed new producer Ben Wadey had huge things planned for the show. The actor told us: "He has told me some things. I said let me sit down. "There's fireworks, there's Kat and Alfie. There is a story that is about to kick in, which will carry on through to after C hristmas. Honestly it's a big story. If you thought the 40th was big wait until you see this story. That's all I'm saying."
