Oxegen: How to get there and road safety

Some of you will be making your way down to Oxegen tomorrow while the rest of us will be arriving over the course of the 4-day fest, but one thing is sure - you need to get there safely to enjoy it.

Here are a few tips to make sure that your journey down is hassle free.

It is recommended that you leave your car behind and make use of the public transport that is available.
Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann are arranging buses to bring festival goers to and from the concert site so make sure you book your ticket in advance.

If you are driving down, An Garda Siochana have outlined a traffic management plan which is available to view here.

There will be a free Park and Ride facility that has a free direct shuttle bus that will be bring you right to the heart of the concert site.

There will be no private car or taxi drop off points allowed at the concert site.

Car pooling is advised and if you have 4 persons or more in your car then you will get free parking. Otherwise, a €30 parking fee applies.

Traffic will be unavoidable and it is recommended to give yourself an additional three hours to get to and from the site.

Any cars parked illegally on the site or on public roads will have their car towed and clamped with a release fee of €500.

And of course, never drink and drive. Make sure you have a responsible designated drive or make use of the public transport.
