The third rendition of the show will bring The 2 Johnnies and The Junior B All Stars with special guests Vengaboys, Basshunter and many more, with music, comedy and guest appearances expected. Advertisement So, if you are headed to St Anne's Park for some Pints in a Field on Saturday, keep reading to find out everything you need to know. When and where is it on? The 2 Johnnies will take over St Anne's Park, Clontarf, Dublin on Saturday, June 7th 2025, for Pints in a Field 3, with doors opening at 5pm.

Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only. Who are playing? The 2 Johnnies will of course perform, as will special guests the Vengaboys, Basshunter, Jimmy Buckley, Noel Furlong, and more. When should I arrive? 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. Advertisement 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: The green entrance is on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the Blue entrance is on All Saints Road via Tennis Court entry. There is no entry or exit on Mount Prospect Avenue. 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. Advertisement 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 3pm, 4pm and 5pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will be leaving the coach park at 11pm sharp. 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. Pints in a Field is a strictly 14 years and older event. 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. Advertisement 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? At the time of writing, rain and showers are expected a lot of Saturday, with temperatures ranging between 9 and 14 degrees. 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.

One of the UK's biggest Indie bands set to perform ‘secret' Cork gig next week
Wolf Alice, who have played some of the world's biggest festivals and have been streamed over 740 million times on Spotify, are due to play the gig in Cyprus Avenue next week as part of three secret gigs around the country. Formed in 2010, the group's mix of grungy guitars and Ellie Rowsell's floaty vocals have seen them chart on several occasions, as well as winning the 2018 Mercury Prize in 2018 with their second studio album Visions of a Life, before picking up the 2022 Brit Award for British Group following their third studio album Blue Weekend. Rumours were rife around the city about a secret gig due to take place in Cork, following a post by the venue, which has hosted some major acts in the past. Everyone from Bruce Spingsteen to Basshunter was guessed by intrigued music fans, with many believing it could potentially be linked to the Live at the Marquee music event which takes place Leeside every year. However, posters have shown up this morning in the city, announcing three secret gigs from the English band, with Kilkenny's Set Theatre playing host on the 19th, while Dolan's Warehouse in Limerick will see Wolf Alice strut their stuff there the following day. A QR code on the poster sends expectant fans to a link to purchase tickets via a mailing list, with a source close to the venue saying that they had a phone call from band management about potentially holding the secret event at Cyprus Avenue, which regularly hosts popular groups from across the world in its venue –located above the Old Oak Bar on the corner of Oliver Plunkett Street and Caroline Street in the heart of the city centre. Secret gigs often give bands an opportunity to trial new material to a niche audience, gauging reaction before releasing it into the world. It means Wolf Alice may have Cork to thank on the journey to making a fourth record!
