Hozier at Marlay Park: Stage times, set list, ticket availability, weather and more

Irish superstar Hozier takes to the stage in Dublin’s Marlay Park this Friday, June 5th for a sold-out show following his first number one in the Irish singles chart with his international smash hit Two Sweet, taken from his latest EP release Unheard. His previous Irish chart peak was at number two with his debut single Take Me To Church in 2014, and since then, Hozier has been at the forefront of both the domestic and international music scenes. He sold more than one million tickets worldwide for his headline tour in 2023, and the Wicklow man’s success only seems to grow.

How do I get there and home again?

Concertgoers have been asked to allow at least an extra three hours of travel time to and from the venue. Organisers have said delays are “inevitable” and fans are encouraged to use the special event transport outlined below.

By bus: Buses will transport fans to the grounds of Marlay Park. For information on where and when to get a bus, visit evntz.ie. Marathon is operating a bus service from Earlsfort Terrace in the city centre direct to the concert grounds; visit marathongroup.ie.

By Luas: Take the Luas green line from the city centre to Dundrum or Balally, both of which are a 35-minute walk to Marlay Park. A shuttle bus from Dundrum Luas station to Marlay Park will run every 30 minutes from 3.30pm, and tickets can be purchased from Marathon here. A joint ticket for Dundrum Town Centre parking and the shuttle bus can be purchased from Marathon here.

By car: Car parking at Marlay Park is extremely limited and must be pre-booked for €25 per car. The car park entrance is located on College Road and is accessed via Whitechurch Road. Only those who have pre-booked can park there. The organisers recommend the SuperValu car park on Ballinteer Avenue as a suitable spot for drop-off and collection by car. There will be road closures surrounding Marlay Park on the day.

By taxi: Following the concert, a passenger pickup point will be facilitated on the Brehon Field Road; however, organisers have said they cannot guarantee taxis will be available and it is not recommended that passengers use rickshaws.

What’s the story with security?

Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult over 25; bring your passport, Garda age card or driving licence as evidence of your date of birth. Allow time for security checks on the way in. Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted and all bags may be searched; 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, drones, laser pens, aerosols, smoke and gas canisters, nitrous oxide and any associated equipment, flares, glasses, or cans, among other items, will be allowed into the event. There is no readmission to the concert, so once you leave there’s no getting back in.

It is also important to note there may be strobe lighting, lasers and pyrotechnics used at the gig, and no overnight or early queuing is allowed.

Can I take photographs at the concert?

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

What’s the weather forecast?

At the time of writing, Friday is expected to be cloudy with temperatures between 8 and 14 degrees, with some rain expected in the evening time. But dress appropriately for all weather as Marlay Park is an outdoor venue – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and sun cream, but remember, no umbrellas.
