How do I get there – and home again?
Concertgoers have been asked to book and plan transport in advance and allow at least three hours extra travel time to and from Marlay Park.
By bus: Marathon Coaches is operating a bus service on both days from Northwall Quay in the city centre directly to the concert grounds. Buses are from 11am. A number of national and regional operators are also providing bus services to the event. See longitude.ie for more information.
If you are travelling to Marlay Park in a private minibus, coach or bus, event organisers ask that you register the details in advance at enquiries@festivalrepublic.com.
By Luas: Take the Luas green line from the city centre to Dundrum or Balally, both stops are a 35-minute walk to the site. A shuttle bus from Dundrum Luas stop to the venue will run every 30 minutes from 12pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
There will be extra, late-night Luas services to accommodate festivalgoers on Sunday, July 6th.
By car: Car parking at Marlay Park is limited and traffic delays should be expected. Plan your route in advance and follow the event signage. 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. Do not attempt to park illegally in areas surrounding Marlay Park, in local estates or outside local residences. Parking enforcement rules will be in operation and you may be clamped or towed.
By taxi: Organisers have said they cannot guarantee taxis will be available, and advise pre-booking.
Are there any tickets left?
There are limited tickets available on Ticketmaster.ie from €107 for a single day pass and €210 for weekend tickets.
Festivalgoers are advised to purchase tickets from official sources and to download them on to their phones before getting to the park as there is no guarantee of internet connection at the gates of Marlay Park.
What’s the story with security?
Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult; bring your passport, Garda age card or driving licence as evidence of your date of birth. It’s recommended no under-5’s attend the venue. 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.
No alcohol or drinks are permitted to be brought into the venue with the exception of water and soft drinks in sealed plastic bottles up to 500ml. Empty reusable plastic bottles are permitted into the venue and there will be water drinking points on-site.
Promoters and An Garda Síochána reserve the right to refuse admission without refund to anyone deemed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
There may be strobe lighting, lasers and pyrotechnics used at the events.
Can I take photographs at the festival?
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?
Saturday will be cloudy with a high of 20 degrees, according to Met Éireann. On Sunday, there’s a chance of sunshine in the afternoon and showers early evening, so pack sun cream and a rain jacket.
