For concertgoers who need to collect their tickets there is a box office on the main avenue where the green and blue routes meet.
What is security like?
Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter St Anne's Park. Strict security checks will be in operation, and you are advised not to bring a large bag or backpack as you may experience delays or even be refused entry.
Prohibited items include glass or cans, umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, camping or collapsible chairs, e-scooters and e-bikes, flares, professional cameras and audio recording equipment. A full list can be found
here
. There are no readmissions to the concert, so if you leave you cannot get back in.
What does the weather look like?
At the moment
Sunday is set to be partly cloudy
with highs of 15 degrees and lowest temperatures of 11 degrees. However, in Ireland you need to be prepared for any weather, especially for an outdoor event. Given St Anne's Park is a standing venue on a grass surface, you should bring boots or runners as well as layering up. It may help to have a raincoat or poncho alongside your sun cream.
