Zach Bryan Phoenix Park setlist, start time, parking, venue map and more
Zach Bryan has officially taken Ireland by storm. The 29-year-old is set to perform a rare three-night residency at Dublin's Phoenix Park later this week.
Around 180,000 fans are expected to pack into the park to see the American country singer-songwriter for what promises to be one of this summer's most anticipated music events.
The Oklahoma native, known for his raw, poetic songwriting and electrifying live shows, rose from posting homemade tracks on YouTube to topping the charts with hits like I Remember Everything, Pink Skies and Something in the Orange.
His Phoenix Park shows - on Friday 20, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 of June - mark his biggest performances in Ireland yet and a major jump from playing to smaller crowds at The Helix just three years ago.
Below is everything you need to know to make the most of the experience - from the expected setlist and stage times, to practical information on parking and site layout, plus a weather forecast to help you prepare.
4pm - Early entry for ticketholders
5pm - General admission opens
6pm - The show will start
10.30pm - The show will end
Joining Zach Bryan on stage across all three nights are two fan favourites from the country and Americana scenes: Turnpike Troubadours and Noeline Hofmann.
There will be no parking available near Phoenix Park, and attendees are strongly advised not to attempt driving to the venue. If you must take a car, your best bet is to use city centre car parks and continue your journey on foot or via public transport.
Aiken Promotions has listed Irish Rail, Bus Eireann, Marathon Coaches, Luas and various private bus operators as the most reliable ways to reach the event.
Marathon Coaches are operating concert-specific routes with drop-off and pick-up directly inside Phoenix Park. Here's where they're running from:
Earlsfort Terrace to Acres Rd (Phoenix Park)
Balbriggan, Rush and Lusk to Papal Cross Car Park
Blessington and Naas to Papal Cross Car Park
Dunleer and Drogheda to Papal Cross Car Park
Enfield, Maynooth, Leixlip and Celbridge to Papal Cross Car Park
Grange Rath, Bettystown, Laytown and Balbriggan to Papal Cross Car Park
Navan and Dunboyne to Papal Cross Car Park
To book your direct shuttle to the venue, visit marathongroup.ie. Keep in mind, the concert site is around a 45-minute walk from any park entrance - so plan accordingly and wear comfy shoes.
The following gates will be open for entry, with access to all route zones (Gold Circle, Green, Red and Blue):
Castleknock Gate
Parkgate Street Gate
Cabra Gate
North Circular Road Gate
Note: The Ashtown Gate will be closed for the event.
According to Met Eireann, concertgoers can expect warm and humid conditions across the weekend, with Friday looking predominantly dry and bright. Sunny spells are likely throughout the day, although there is a chance of isolated showers. Temperatures will range between 20C and 24C. A moderate southeasterly breeze is also forecast.
The warm and humid spell is set to continue into the weekend, with sunshine expected, but a few heavy showers may pop up in some areas, so it's worth being prepared for changing conditions.
Zach Bryan has only performed a handful of concerts so far this year, so the setlist for his Phoenix Park shows is still under wraps. However, his recent headline slot at Stagecoach Festival 2025 in April gives fans a good idea of what to expect. That set featured a mix of emotional ballads, fan favourites and big singalong moments - although setlists often vary from show to show.
Here's what he played at Stagecoach 2025:
Overtime
Open the Gate
God Speed
Blue Jean Baby (First time played live)
Whiskey Fever
28
Fifth of May
Oklahoma Smokeshow

Phoenix Park concerts are completely cashless, so make sure to bring a card or digital payment method. Double-check your tickets in advance to ensure you're attending the correct date, and download them to your iPhone Wallet or Google Pay ahead of time for smoother entry.
Early queuing is not permitted, and if possible, avoid bringing a bag - those without bags will be fast-tracked at the gates. If you must bring one, make sure it's smaller than A4 size, as larger bags won't be allowed in. All bags will be subject to search, which may delay entry.
You're welcome to bring a standard 750ml plastic reusable bottle, as long as it's empty on arrival - glass and metal bottles are not permitted. Free water refill stations will be available inside.
If rain is forecast, leave the umbrella at home (they're not allowed) and opt for a rain mac or waterproof jacket instead.
Finally, while professional cameras with detachable lenses are prohibited, you can bring a compact camera with a fixed lens no larger than 35mm to capture the memories.
General admission standing tickets (€131.75) are now sold out for all three nights, but limited higher-tier options like Gold Circle and Early Entry are still available. You can view the remaining tickets on Ticketmaster here.

Eric Dane on living with ALS: 'I have one functioning arm'
In his first televised interview since being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Euphoria and Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane has shared that he now only has "one functioning arm". In a candid interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, the 52-year-old actor explained how the first symptoms appeared subtly, before gradually intensifying. "I started experiencing some weakness in my right hand, and I didn't really think anything of it at the time," the he said. "I thought maybe I had been texting too much, or my hand was fatigued," he continued. "But a few weeks later, I noticed it had gotten a little worse." He added: "So I went and saw a hand specialist, who sent me to another hand specialist. I went and saw a neurologist, and the neurologist sent me to another neurologist, who said, 'This is way above my pay grade.'" He underwent nine months of testing before getting his "sobering" diagnosis in April. Dane said he will never forget the three letters he received after his diagnosis. "It's on me the second I wake up. "It's not a dream," he stated. FULL INTERVIEW: Former "Grey's Anatomy" star Eric Dane speaks out for the first time in a television interview about his battle with ALS, a degenerative neurological disorder.

He recalled how his daughter saved him that day. "She dragged me back to the boat; I was, like, breaking down in tears. I made sure she got back to the water with her friend and continued on with the snorkelling. I was just heartbroken," he said.

‘Racing's big spender' went from uni dropout on £7.40-an-hour at Toyota to giving tours of his Ferrari collection
BIG-SPENDING owner John Stewart is so desperate for an Ascot winner he's building a replica of the famous track on his own farm. The Kentucky-based American has only been in the game for a couple of years but has certainly arrived in style. Advertisement 2 John Stewart, who on Netflix was labelled 'racing's big spender', is ready for a huge Royal Ascot alongside fiancee Chelsey Stone 2 Royal Ascot owner John Stewart went from a minimum-wage factory worker at Toyota to giving tours of his multi-million pound car collection - but it's real horsepower he cares about with his ever-growing stable of top-class racehorses Inspired by Ballydoyle's unique Derby gallop that replicates the contours of Epsom, Stewart is in the process of putting together his very own Ascot at his new 300 acre training centre. 'I don't do anything by halves,' he laughs. You quickly get that impression. When he's not flying around the world on his private jet or adding to his supercar collection, Stewart, 55, runs Resolute Racing — his burgeoning empire. This week he will don the top hat and tails and jet into Berkshire with his fiancee Chelsey Stone in search of their first Royal winner. Advertisement He owns King Charles III favourite Believing in tandem with powerhouse Coolmore and has snapped up Paddy Twomey's juvenile Rogue Legend to run in his own black and blue silks. It's a hell of a long way from his roots. He dropped out of college before becoming a factory worker making cars for Toyota. Years later he would make his fortune in private equity after a spell working in London. Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Racing has always been a passion of his and he is making the most of his moment in the limelight. Stewart said: 'The purses are crap at Ascot but the trophies are awesome! 'Who doesn't want The King to be handing them a trophy?' The high-flying owner was one of the stars of Netflix's 'Race For The Crown', a series focused on the Triple Crown in America. Advertisement New to the scene, he has certainly ruffled some feathers with his opinions and upset some of the more traditional forces. Off the track he's not shy of getting out the chequebook and the past weeks have been no different. His team have been scouring Europe for horses that Stewart can run at Ascot. So what is it that year after year keeps bringing back the Yanks to Ascot? Advertisement Stewart said: 'In Europe there is a lot of tradition, that's what a lot of it rests on. 'Who doesn't want to compete at Royal Ascot? It's one of the biggest events around the world, not just in horse racing. 'This will be my second Ascot, I've got all my kit — the top hat is ready to fly over with me. 'And last year I got really bored of Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore winning all the cups. Give me a chance to beat Coolmore and I'm there. I'm friends with those guys and I took them to the Superbowl but I wanna' beat them more than anything. Advertisement 'It's such a great atmosphere at the place that I just couldn't miss out. 'The homebreds are not quite there yet so I needed to top up my team with some ready made talent. 'Last year was my first Ascot and I really got a taste of what it is. I only had a couple of runners and they weren't really contenders. 'But these horses are hard to come by. People joke that I pay too much, they call it a 'Sheikh-like price' but I don't mind! What choice do I have?' Advertisement Plenty of flashy new owners make a splash when they enter the game but few go on to achieve the success they dream of early on. Stewart says he will buck that trend and his empire is growing at a rate of knots. He added: 'One of the things I wanted to do is build a mile uphill gallop. 'It will be an exact replica of the contours of the straight mile at Ascot. I want to train my horses on that. 'You can't just bring a horse that runs in America on the turning tracks and turn up at Ascot, it doesn't work. Advertisement 'The horses hit that hill and think 'what the hell is going on?' 'That's how serious I am. People think I will spend some money but then disappear but it's a long-term thing. 'I've loved it for 30 years and started out as a horseplayer like everyone but now I have the means to compete at a high level and I'm trying to build something that's going to be here a long-time. 'I'm trying to promote the industry with every chance I get too. I'm a fan first and foremost and it's surreal for me what I am now doing.' Advertisement Stewart is happy to trash talk before a big race too. He often gets into trouble with those close to him for his posts on X but he's drawing in new fans and is that such a bad thing? You can even sign up for a tour of Stewart's Kentucky farm complete with a glimpse of his supercar shed full of Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches. He adds: 'I think it is good for the sport to ruffle some feathers. If you don't like the way things are done but you stay quiet you will get nowhere. 'For the average race fan, owners, jockeys, the horses, the trainers . . . they all seem inaccessible. Advertisement 'They make out they are a special group and if you're not in my group, 'don't hang around me.' 'We don't exist without the horseplayers. The gamblers are the most important part of the sport. 'I've opened up my farm so that people can come and visit and I give as much access as I can. 'I have five or six times the followers on social media than any other owner in America and the majority of my posts are just positive things about the sport and updates on my horses and fans are embracing that approach. Advertisement 'I seem more like one of them than the rest of the stuffy owners. 'It's an older generation sport and we need to do something about that.' Whether it's too soon or not for a Stewart winner at Ascot, you'll certainly hear him coming. So get ready Ascot — the Stewart show is in town.

Meghan Markle breaks silence on ‘baby mama dance' after hospital twerking vid sparked wild conspiracy theories
MEGHAN Markle has broken her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, 5 Meghan has hit back against conspiracy theorists claiming that her video was fake Credit: Youtube 5 Conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real Credit: Instagram 5 She called on people to 'tell the truth' about her Credit: Youtube But Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage. She called on people to "tell the truth" about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her "authentic" life. Speaking on Dragon's Den star Read more in Royals "Did you see my "Baby Momma" dance? That wasn't yesterday, that was four years ago. "It's a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes. "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." The footage - released to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 3 - showed heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed . Most read in Royals Prince Harry also shuffles into view in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. Podcast host Emma, founding partner of SKIMS and CEO of Good American, admitted she was shocked to see Prince Harry dancing in the video. She joked: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday. "I was like, is that Prince Harry there with the fingers? I was like, okay, Meghan and Harry, let's go. "But that's you, right? That's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before." Emma Grede's Aspire episode with Meghan is set to air today. She posted it on the social media platform alongside the caption: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and "hard to watch". Meghan's twerking video was so cringey it was like parody, but it did exactly what she wanted Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.' Meghan's comments came after she shared a rare personal video showing Archie and Lilibet to wish Harry a happy Father's Day. The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending time with his children through the years. Her Father's Day tribute to husband Harry followed the same pattern with the clips of her kids featuring the back of their heads only. 5 The video was slammed by royal experts as cringey and 'hard to watch' Credit: Youtube 5 She defended her video on Dragon's Den star Emma Grede's Aspire podcast Credit: aspirewithemmagrede/Instagram
