What’s the story with security?
Under 16′s must be always accompanied by someone over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. Bring your passport, Garda age card or driving licence as evidence of your date of birth as strict age monitoring will be in place.
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.
Can I take photographs at the concert?
Yes, but only with a smartphone or small digital camera. Professional cameras with a detachable lens and any other recording equipment are banned.
What’s the weather forecast?
At the time of writing, temperatures for Thursday are expected to be between 10 and 14 degrees, with no rain, but cloudy. As always with weather in Ireland, the forecast is subject to change.
Regardless, remember that Fairview Park is a standing only venue taking place on grass under canvas so dress accordingly for Irish weather; think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and sun cream, but remember no umbrellas.
