The Lumineers at St Anne's Park: Everything you need to know
The Lumineers made their international breakthrough in 2012 with the song Ho Hey, the first single from their self-titled debut album. They have had 24 number 1 hits across various radio formats and have sold out arenas across the world. With hits such as Ophelia, Gloria, Sleep On The Floor, Stubborn Love, and Cleopatra, the two-man folk band has enjoyed major worldwide success. Advertisement They last performed in St Anne's Park two years ago in 2023, and the duo's powerful songwriting is expected to bring laughter and tears alike at the 2025 show, which is part of their European and UK tour for their fifth album that launched in February. So, if you are headed to The Lumineers to see Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites perform in the flesh, keep reading to find out everything you need to know. When and where is it on? The Lumineers play at St Anne's Park, Clontarf, Dublin on May 31st 2025, with doors opening at 5pm. When we get the official stage times, we will update this article with them. Are there tickets left? Unfortunately, the concert has sold out, but you might be lucky and nab one for resale on Ticketmaster. Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only. Advertisement Who are the support acts? The Lumineers will be supported by singer/songwriter from Cincinnati, Ohio, Michael Marcagi, whose second single, Scared to Start, went viral on TikTok, and by Good Neighbours, an English indie rock due. 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. 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. Advertisement 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. 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.

Obviously, we never know what a band are going to play until the night itself, but here is a taster of what fans can expect, based on the setlist for their recent concert at The OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday night: Same Old Song Flowers in Your Hair Asshole Advertisement Charlie Boy Ho Hey Angela You're All I Got A.M. RADIO Plasticine Donna Dead Sea Ativan Slow It Down BRIGHTSIDE Sleep on the Floor Scotland Gloria WHERE WE ARE Strings Automatic Ophelia Salt and the Sea Leader of the Landslide April REPRISE This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (Talking Heads cover) Big Parade Encore: Cleopatra Stubborn Love 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? Saturday is expected to be mostly dry early on, with a bit of rain early in the afternoon. After that though, there should be sunny spells and scattered showers with highs of 17 to 20 degrees with some wind. 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.

Inhaler at St Anne's Park: Stage times, set list, ticket information, how to get there and more
Inhaler , the Dublin four-piece fronted by Elijah Hewson , are set to bring their Open Wide tour back home. Having spent the first half of the year stage hopping around Europe and North America, this is the band's biggest Irish gig to date. Released in February, Open Wide is the name of Inhaler's third studio album. Produced by Kid Harpoon, a hitmaker for the likes of Harry Styles and Florence & the Machine, the record proved something of a departure from the group's polished indie-rock template, incorporating pop sensibilities that have bled into Inhaler's live show. With a stacked supporting cast and a historic park landscape, this promises to be a landmark homecoming. When and where is it? Inhaler play St Anne's Park in Clontarf, Dublin, on Friday May 30th.

West Indies beat Ireland by 197 runs to square up three-match series
West Indies (385-7) (Keacy Carty 170; Barry McCarthy 3-100) beat Ireland (165-8) (Cade Carmichael 48; Jayden Seales 3-26) by 197 runs (DLS method) On Friday the weather saved Ireland from the unenviable task of chasing down a mammoth West Indies total. They were not so lucky this time around. Replying to an even bigger score of 386, reduced to 363 in 46 overs by rain, Ireland's attempt was ugly. In just his second international innings, Cade Carmichael reached 48 before getting stuck looking for a maiden milestone, but that was as good as it got. West Indies wrapped up a dominant 197-run win to square the three-match series at one apiece, honours shared after Ireland's own dominant victory in game one before the rain scuppered things on Friday. The day started promisingly for Ireland, Barry McCarthy continuing his hex over Brandon King, dismissing the West Indies opener for the third time in as many matches. He added Evin Lewis for good measure, leaving the visitors two down inside five overs. READ MORE The fight back was something to behold. Shai Hope and Keacy Carty combined to put on 137 runs, the latter passing three figures in back-to-back matches. His effort of 170 anchored a late onslaught of hitting, Ireland's inability to take middle overs wickets biting them by opening up the Caribbean power game at the death. Justin Greaves added 50 runs off just 23 balls, Ireland struggling to contain the scoring rate at the small Clontarf venue. They were not helped by injuries. Debutant Jordan Neill bowled just five overs before suffering a nasty shoulder issue. Josh Little managed seven before tweaking something in his leg. Neither man emerged to bat later in the day, meaning West Indies needed to take just eight wickets for victory. Irish skipper Paul Stirling started the chase with the required aggression when needing nearly eight runs an over but he departed for 26. Jayden Seales accounted for him, Andy Balbirnie and Harry Tector cheaply, tearing the heart out of this Irish chase. Carmichael, Lorcan Tucker and George Dockrell all made contributions, but nothing close enough to the magic needed for a record victory. A pair of run outs only added to the ignominy, the West Indies wrapping things up with 16 overs still remaining. The Caribbean outfit now heads to England before returning to these shores in June for a three-match T20 encounter to be held in Bready Cricket Club.
