Here's everything you need to know if you're going to a gig at St. Anne's this summer

St Anne's park is billed to come alive with the sound of Cian Ducrot, The Two Johnnies, Picture This and more this June.

They'll also be headliners from Rewind Dublin, Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers and Chic.

If you're an excited ticket carrier for any of the incredible line up, here a few things to know before the concert's kick off this weekend.

One thing organisers have emphasised is that although they want people to allow enough time for travel and security checks, there is strictly no queuing outside the venue before the gates open.

If patrons do turn up early they will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site as queuing in streets around the park will cause disruption to residents of the area.

Good to know: 

• No camping/collapsible chairs/stools are permitted on site. Organisers have said that security will have to refuse you entry with them.
• Check the forecast and dress accordingly for Irish weather ( although hopefully they'll be some good living cert sunshine) – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and sun cream.
• The venue will have two routes of entry – the blue route at All Saints Road, via Tennis court entry and the green route at Sybil Hill onto main avenue.
• Pack comfortable shoes as both entryways require an approximate 1.3km walk from park entrance to concert arena.
• Strict security checks will be in operation. Everyone will be subject to a search permissible under law, per Purchase Policy. It is a condition of entry, to protect everyone’s safety. Additional searches may take place once inside the venue.
• Patrons are also advised not to bring large bags/backpacks as they may experience delays or be refused entry. There will be no storage facilities on site. Any items left at entrances/in surrounding areas will be removed and disposed of accordingly. Bags larger than A4, glass or cans, umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, selfie sticks, flares, professional cameras and audio recording equipment will not be permitted, see the full list of prohibited items here.

Attendees have also been warned that there are no re-admissions to the concert.

There will be a box office to collect tickets, located on the main avenue of St. Anne's Park,  however organisers have encouraged gig go-ers to download tickets onto their phone.

Transport:

The concert organisers have asked attendees to plan and book their return travel arrangements in advance and to allow for at least an extra 2 hours 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. The Dart will run services to and from the concerts each day, with passengers alighting at Harmonstown dart station.

Bus routes that will bring you from Abbey St Lower to  you within walking distance of the concert site include 6, H1, H2, H3 or 130.

There is no public parking at this event – the car parks in St Anne’s are not open to the public during events.

Age restrictions: 
Under 16’s must be accompanied at all times by a Parent/Guardian over 25, who takes full responsibility and remains with them throughout the event. Strict age monitoring will be in place. Unaccompanied under 16’s will be refused entry without refund. Recommended: no under 5s (The 2 Johnnies 14+). All attendees must have a ticket.

Additional accessibility requirements:
If you are attending on general admission tickets and would benefit from an accessible accommodation, you can request this here.

Accessible ticketholders do not need to contact organisers. They will be contacted directly regarding accessible parking/ drop-off options. All accessible parking must be arranged in advance.

Since St. Anne’s Park is a residential area, concert goers have been asked to respect the local community by not littering, not engaging in anti-social behaviour and by not parking illegally.
