Zach Bryan Phoenix Park setlist, start time, parking, venue map and more
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.

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:

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.

‘It's a similar sense of sisterhood' – how Rose of Tralee 2025 could be compared to America's ‘sorority rush season'
Eighteen Roses took to the stage in Co Kerry last night for the first of two nights before the 2025 winner is crowned, but behind the scenes, they were forming friendships for life. Philadelphia Rose Shannon Emery (26), who was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority at Westchester University, said she feels a 'similar sense of sisterhood' during her time at the Rose of Tralee. 'I do feel it's a similar sense of sisterhood, but it's an Irish sisterhood, instead of whatever Greek organisation you're in. So it's kind of extra special that way,' she said after coming off the stage at the first rehearsal before the selection night yesterday. Not only have videos of American sororities, hailed as 'RushTok', been blowing up on social media, but the famous Kerry festival has also occupied our feeds on this side of the Atlantic. Ms Emery said she was 'excited' and 'ready' for the first selection night. She added: 'A lot of nerves and feelings and emotions are coming up, because it's kind of the end as well, but I'm excited.' 'It's been amazing working with these other 32 women and bonding with them.' Meanwhile, the residents of Ireland's highest village, Meelin, and some of Nancy Lehane's 48 cousins are expected to show up at MTU's Sport Academy to support the Cork Rose (22), who is tipped as favourite to win the Rose of Tralee title. When asked whether any pressure comes with that, she said she 'doesn't really think about it'. 'The girls are absolutely lovely. Great craic. We're having so much fun,' she said. 'It's very full-on for us to be doing every day, but being there for each other, we've become very close in a very short space of time.' The highlight of being the Cork Rose for Ms Lehane was to see the 'excitement it brings to people' closest to her. 'The parades were amazing, just going up and seeing everyone so excited, my family and friends,' she said. Kerry Rose Laura Daly (23), from Ballymacelligott on the outskirts of Tralee, has been involved in the festival since she was a little girl. It was the equivalent of Christmas in our household 'I would have grown up dancing in the parade as a little girl, and that was just embedded,' she said. 'My nana had a huge love for the festival. Every year, we'd gather together; it's what brought our family together. It was the equivalent of Christmas in our household. As I got a little bit older, I started volunteering on the street side of the festival. 'I had the opportunity last year to come up here to MTU and work behind the scenes. In the mix of all that, I was choreographing the parades, too. 'It was not until I was up here last year working and took a moment in the very back of MTU when an incredible Irish artist, Lyra, was singing, and it was so powerful. 'And I just stopped and went, 'This is something that I would love to be a part of on the other side'.' She said it now feels like a 'full-circle moment' for her to become the Kerry Rose, adding she is 'extremely proud of every single one' of the 32 Roses. 'We are up for rehearsals right now, and the girls are trying on their dresses,' she said. 'We've had people crying just seeing each other's dress reveals, and it's just that sense of immense pride. We have seen each other at our highs, and we've seen each other at our lows, and to be here tonight, I know there won't be a dry eye between the lot of us.' Carlow Rose Katie Ryan (26) from Tullow, who is an only child, said being around Roses is 'making her realise what it's like to have siblings'. 'When you're looking at it, you just see the two TV nights, but when you're going and you're spending so much time with the girls, it's absolutely incredible,' she said. 'Because I'm an only child, it's really nice having the girls around all the time, because it's making me realise what it's like to have siblings and have that sisterhood together.' Yesterday morning, 18 Roses took to the stage to rehearse their performances ahead of the first selection night, which includes dancing, singing and even dog yoga and playing rugby on stage. Hosts Dáithí Ó Sé and Kathryn Thomas were supporting the Roses on stage, while Ó Sé kept reassuring the girls that the crowd 'will go crazy, crazy, crazy'. The second selection night airs on Tuesday at 8pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, revealing the Rose of Tralee winner

Horror last moments of father who boiled himself to death in huge pot
A self-proclaimed 'magic man' tragically died after steaming himself in a bid to 'purify his body and soul'. In 2017, 'Black Dog' Lim Ba suffered a fatal heart attack and second-degree burns during the perilous ritual inside a large metal pot with flames beneath. It comes as a father took his own life, live on TV, as his devastated children watched at home. Lim, 68, was carrying out a "human steaming" performance during a Nine Emperor God prayer ceremony at the Chinese temple Kuala Sanglang Qinglong, in Malaysia's Suala Sanglang. Worshippers first suspected trouble when frantic banging from within the searing "human steam" cover could be heard roughly 30 minutes into the performance. They quickly lifted the cover to discover him unconscious, reports the Express. Horrifying footage shows Lim Ba convulsing uncontrollably (Image: Youtube) Disturbing footage shows him shaking violently as people frantically attempt to drag him from the heat and place him on the floor. His arms keep jerking upwards as he's positioned down and someone dashes for assistance. The Taoist medium was declared dead at the location by paramedics. His youngest son, Kang Huai, 32, disclosed his father had started the steaming performance around 10pm that evening, reports the Mirror. He said his father was taking medication for hypertension and those watching knew when to lift the cover. He told Malaysia's The Star: "By the time the ambulance arrived, my father had stopped breathing. He underwent a heart bypass last year due to on-and-off breathing difficulties." Horrifying footage shows Lim Ba convulsing uncontrollably (Image: Youtube) Despite constant appeals to cease, Lim had been carrying out the human-steaming performance for more than a decade - once remaining inside for 75 minutes. During a show at a Nine Emperor Gods festival in Ayer Tawar, Perak, Kang Huai disclosed that food items including rice, sweet corn, and vegetarian buns were also positioned inside the wok for steaming. "My mother Ch'ng Siew Hong, my sisters and I are very sad. Our cheerful father has left us forever," he said. Lim's daughter Wei Ling, 37, revealed her father had moaned about the heat whilst travelling to the stunt and had lost his appetite. Lim was known as a Taoist medium, following the traditional Chinese faith which encourages living in balance with the Tao. The Federation of Taoist Associations of Malaysia (FTAM) president Tan Hoe Chioew said that these kinds of ceremonies weren't truly part of mainstream Taoist practices but were more similar to a fa shu (theurgy or magic) display. He added that such stunts were carried out to draw followers and showcase the performer's physical stamina.
