Oasis fans warned no public parking allowed around Croke Park

There will be no public parking around Croke Park this weekend as tens of thousands of Oasis fans head to the long-awaited Irish leg of the Oasis Live ’25 world tour.

Before the tour Oasis had not performed live in Britain or Ireland in 16 years and crowds are expected to be significant on both Saturday and Sunday nights.

Transport for Ireland has warned concertgoers not to bring cars to the stadium and parking will be prohibited in a wide area, including residential streets around the stadium.

On the Dart and commuter rail network, there will be extra trains before and after the concerts on the Maynooth line, serving Drumcondra Station directly, while the northern commuter line and city centre routes will have additional Dart services to cater for demand.
