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 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 Dawns Motorcycle Drive By Tourniquet Lawyers, Guns and Money (Warren Zevon cover - Introduced as his favorite song of all time) East Side of Sorrow '68 Fastback Oklahoma City Purple Gas (Noeline Hofmann cover - with Noeline Hofmann) If She Wants a Cowboy American Nights The Good I'll Do Heading South Snow (Dedicated to Read Connolly's dog who is sick) I Remember Everything (with Willow Avalon) Nine Ball Hey Driver Heavy Eyes Burn, Burn, Burn Quittin' Time (Extended horns/strings intro – The Godfather theme) Encore: 30. Revival 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.

The Guide: Zach Bryan, Charli XCX, Rosie O'Donnell and other events to see, shows to book and ones to catch before they end
Event of the week Zach Bryan Friday-Sunday, June 20th-22nd, Phoenix Park, Dublin, 5pm, €171.25/€121.25, In less than five years Zach Bryan has progressed from recording his tunes on a smartphone to releasing albums that have amassed billions of plays on streaming platforms. A raspy-voiced busker at heart who delivers country/roots songs grounded in Springsteen-style heartland traditions, the Oklahoma musician and songwriter has soothed a collective nerve with his stories of anguish, vulnerability, loss and hope. The keeping-it-country support acts include the Canadian singer-songwriter Noeline Hofmann (who features on Bryan's 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene) and the Oklahoma honky-tonk bar band Turnpike Troubadours. Gigs Musictown From Saturday, June 14th, until Wednesday, June 18th, NCH, Dublin, various times, €22/€12, Operating Theatre: Olwen Fouéré and Roger Doyle Musictown, the innovative under-the-radar musical festival (which is sponsored by Dublin City Council), returns with something for anyone who likes to dig deeper than the casual music fan. The five-day event starts on Saturday with the ambient musician Natalia Beylis and the cellist Eimear Reidy (3pm) and continues with Bren Berry & Crash Ensemble (8pm). Other highlights include Anna Mieke and Crash Ensemble (Sunday, June 15th), Glasshouse Perform Scott Walker (Monday, June 16th, 8pm), Róis and Crash Ensemble (Tuesday, June 17th) and Operating Theatre (Wednesday, June 18th). Nine Inch Nails Sunday, June 15th, 3Arena, Dublin, 6pm, €92/€47 (sold out), Nine Inch Nails It has been 18 years since Nine Inch Nails last performed in Dublin, so to say that anticipation among fans is high is an understatement. The band – or, more to the point, their lead singer and creative focal point, Trent Reznor – arrives with a sizeable reputation for delivering on all fronts, from music that ranges from metallic to mellow to a stage show that challenges preconceptions about arena-size rock-show design and presentation. Whether Reznor's highly atmospheric film-soundtrack work (written with his bandmate Atticus Ross) will feature in live shows renowned for their metallic intensity remains to be heard. Charli XCX Tuesday, June 17th, Malahide Castle, Co Dublin, 4pm, €59.90 (sold out); Wednesday, June 18th, Belsonic, Belfast, 4pm, £54.50 (sold out), Charlie Aitchison recorded her debut album when she was 14, with help from the Bank of Mam and Dad. It was an investment that has paid handsome dividends. Almost 20 years later, and exactly a year after the release of her highly praised sixth album, Brat , Charli XCX is on top of the pack. With a substantial back catalogue to dip into, expect these shows to be fan-favourite-friendly. Special guest is The Japanese House. READ MORE Stage Static From Saturday, June 14th, until Friday, July 18th, Abbey Theatre (Peacock stage), Dublin, 8pm, €32.50/€27.50/€20, Against all the technological odds, a reclusive radio operator in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, makes contact with an American astronaut who has been orbiting Earth for months. The conversations they have with one another, at a time when each is going through a mentally challenging time, help them to forge a bond that eases their loneliness and anxieties. Dan Gordon (as Moonman) and Seán Mahon (as Spaceman) star. Jimmy McAleavy writes, and John King directs. Summer festival Séamus Ennis Arts Centre Garden Party From Saturday, June 14th, until Sunday, August 10th, Seamus Ennis Arts Centre, Naul, Co Dublin, various times and prices, For two summer months this tucked-away Fingal arts centre presents a broad range of music, comedy, puppetry and outdoor film screenings. Events are held in the Piper's Garden, the 500-capacity outdoor performance space named in celebration of the musician. Music acts performing across the summer include Ye Vagabonds (Saturday, June 28th), John Francis Flynn (Friday, July 11th), The 4 of Us (Sunday, July 12th) and The Seeger Sessions Revival (Saturday, August 9th). Of particular interest to curious and competitive pop-culture fans could be the Big Music & Movie Quiz (Sunday, August 3rd). Visual art These Magnetic Magnitudes From Saturday, June 14th, until Saturday, August 16th, Solstice Arts Centre, Navan, Co Meath, free, These Magnetic Magnitudes: Possibility Space (2024) by Cecilia Danell The Galway-based Swedish artist Cecelia Danell examines landscapes and the psychological impact that places have on people. Her solo exhibition features new works in paint, ceramic sculptures, textiles and film, inspired by the nature dioramas at New York's American Museum of Natural History, as well as science fiction (notably the feminist work of Ursula K Le Guin, particularly her masterpiece, The Left Hand of Darkness, from 1969). The exhibition is curated by Brenda McParland. Comedy Live at the Gate: Rosie O'Donnell Thursday, June 19th, Gate Theatre, Dublin, 6.30pm, €53, Rosie O'Donnell Following Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration as US president for the second time, the Emmy-winning comedian Rosie O'Donnell moved from New York to Dublin, where she is in the process of acquiring Irish citizenship through descent. (Her father emigrated from Co Donegal in the 1930s.) O'Donnell has never performed on the Gate stage before, but we know she has recently been fine-tuning her jokes at the nearby venues the International Bar and Workman's Club. Proceeds from this event will support three LGBTQ+ charities, Teni, BeLonG To and ShoutOut. The event is hosted by this year's Dublin Pride Parade grand marshal, Ruadhán Ó Críodáin.

Still running Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors & Awful Egyptians Wednesday-Sunday, June 18th-22nd, 3Olympia, Dublin, 9.30am, 1.30pm and 5.30pm, €37.70/€34.90/€25.90, Horrible Histories Families can choose from two Horrible Histories shows, both of which are based on the books by Terry Deary, the world's bestselling nonfiction author for children.
