Check your tickets so you know which entrance into Croke Park you need to use - it’s a huge stadium so it can take time getting from one entrance to another.

What will security be like?

Organisers are encouraging concert goers to travel light. They are recommending you to only bring your ticket, phone and some cash or card.

People without bags will be fast-tracked.

If you must bring a bag, it needs to be smaller than A5 (11.45cm x 15.25cm or 4.5in x 6.0in) which is about the size of a small book. All bags smaller than A5 will be subject to a search - which may delay your entry into the venue.

Bags over A5 size will not be permitted. There are left luggage facilities available throughout the city so make sure to leave bags off BEFORE arriving to Croke Park.

Anyone attending the concert will be subject to a ‘pat down’ search before being admitted to the venue.

Any advice for families?

Under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Under 14’s are not allowed to stand on the pitch with or without an adult.

There will be free TAG-A-CHILD wristbands available for parents who are attending with young children. You write a contact number and seat number on the wristband so it is easier to reunite lost children with parents/guardian should they become separated. Wristbands will be available from all the customer care points both outside and inside the venue.

What’s the weather going to be like?

As of today, it’s looking like the weather will be good for Thursday. However, this is Ireland so keep an eye on the forecasts and dress accordingly. Umbrellas will not be allowed into the venue.

Are tickets still available?

There are still a limited number of tickets available through https://www.ticketmaster.ie/ Remaining tickets may be available from the box office on the day of the event.
