How do I get there and home again?

Organisers have said fans should allow for sufficient travel time to and from the venue. As traffic and parking delays are inevitable, you are encouraged to walk, cycle, use public transport and private coach services. There are no car-parking facilities on site and fans have been advised not to park illegally in surrounding residential areas.

By Dart: The Dart will run services to and from the concert. If you are planning on using the Dart, you can get off at Clontarf Road station. The last train south towards Connolly Station departs at 00:15am, and the last northbound train departs at 23:56pm. More information can be found at irishrail.ie.

By bus: Dublin Bus will run services within walking distance of the concert. From the city centre, the buses leave from Eden Quay (14, 15, 27a, 27b), Abbey Street Lower (6, H1, H2, H3, 130) and Talbot Street (42, 43). Fans should get off at Fairview Park bus stop.

What will he play?

According to the set list for his most recent album in X, here is a taster of what fans can expect on Saturday.

What’s the story with security?

Under-16s must always be accompanied by someone over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. Bring your passport, Garda age card or driving licence as evidence of your date of birth as strict age monitoring will be in place.

Allow time for security checks on the way in. Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted and 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 umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans, among other items, will be allowed into the event. There are no readmissions to the concert, so once you leave there’s no getting back in.

Can I take photographs at the concert?

Yes, but with a smartphone or small digital camera. Professional cameras with a detachable lens and any other recording devices are banned.

What’s the weather forecast?

A few showers are forecast for Saturday afternoon in Dublin, with clouds later. Temperatures are expected to be around 16 degrees in the evening.

The concert will take place under canvas, but remember that Fairview Park is a standing-only venue on grass, so dress accordingly for Irish weather; think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and sun cream, but no umbrellas.
