Leave umbrellas, drones, liquids and pets at home. Professional recording equipment, fireworks and illegal substances are strictly banned. Smoking is not allowed in enclosed spaces, and re-entry is not permitted with day tickets. Bars will operate a Challenge 25 policy – so if you look under 25, bring valid ID. Catering and bar services will be available throughout the weekend. Organisers also ask that you look after yourself and your mates – take breaks, stay hydrated, and be mindful of others. There will be wellness zones on-site and medics available if needed. Weather It wouldn't be an Irish festival without some unpredictable weather. Saturday is expected to start off dry, but turn wet and windy as the day goes on, with temperatures between 15C and 20C.
