'If there was a roof on the Phoenix Park, Zach Bryan would've blown it off'
If there was a roof on the Phoenix Park, Zach Bryan would've blown it off. The country singer performed to more than 60,000 on the first of his three nights in the Dublin park on Friday night. It's the first time that Phoenix Park has hosted such a large-scale event since Ed Sheeran in 2018. The Grammy-Award winning star was greeted by a rapturous applause from tens of thousands of sweating fans as the sunshine came beating down on the gig. Zach entertained fans with hits including Something In The Orange, Pink Skies and Heading South. A day before the gig, Zach was spotted arm wrestling a local in The Celt in Dublin's inner city centre. He posted the video on his Instagram showing off the arm wrestling match, which saw him win over the pub goer. Speaking earlier in the week, Peter Aiken of Aiken Promotions said the Oklahoma star is 'the real deal', comparing Zach, 29, to Bruce Springsteen. He said: 'He's the real deal. He's not country per se but he's very Springsteen. He's a great storyteller and a very dynamic performer – he has a lot of charisma. 'When you have 180,000 people here, they're going to know the words to every song; it's going to be a very unique, special atmosphere. 'His songs are about heartbreak and loss and all the things that people don't like talking about anymore,' he said. 'Maybe [those] in Dublin aren't aware of him, but people outside Dublin are very well aware of him.' Mr Aiken revealed the demographic of fans who love Zach, saying most of his fans will be aged between 18-35 but only 10% of his tickets were bought in Dublin, according to Aiken Promotions. 'Normally for a big concert, say for Springsteen in Croke Park, 50% of our audience were from the greater Dublin area. For this, it's about 10%,' Mr Aiken said. 'There's a big crowd coming from the North and Donegal, Mayo. There's a big crowd flying in from the States. These big events, more and more, attract overseas visitors. People will like the adventure of coming to a different place.' Zach plays to a sell out 180,000 over three nights this weekend until Sunday night. Gardai are advising fans to be mindful of neighbours and the wildlife this weekend. Margaret Gormley, from the Office of Public Works, said: 'Yeah, obviously we don't recommend anyone to feed the deer, and we ask people to stay a minimum of 50 meters away from the deer. They are wild animals. 'We want everyone to enjoy their event, and we do ask everyone to use public transport and to keep to the surface paths within the Phoenix Park. 'The park is over 1700 acres, so we don't want anyone to get lost. We want them to come and have a very enjoyable event. And you know, it is over 180,000 people, so we just ask for everyone to have a great time at the concert, but also to leave no trace and to respect all our neighbours surrounding the Phoenix Park.' Organisers are encouraging revellers to use public transport this weekend. They warned that given that most attendees will be using the Park Gate entrance, they should leave at least 45 minutes to walk to the concert site. Marathon Group is running special concert specific routes from Earlsfort Terrace in Dublin and orbital routes to the Phoenix Park. They will be dropping off in the Phoenix Park and pick up will be in the same place. For those heading to the concerts tonight and Sunday, they are reminded that there is no parking available on the streets surrounding the venue or inside the Phoenix Park.

From nude snaps, toyboy lovers & launching sexy products – how 50-plus stars like Hurley and Holden get spicier with age
GONE are the days when midlife meant slowing down in the bedroom department — if this lot are anything to go by then this is the era when things ramp up. From Liz Hurley in her 'birthday suit' for her 60th, to Advertisement 6 Amanda Holden, 54, 'I would encourage anyone at home to strip off and have a cheeky bounce on the trampoline' Credit: Christian Vermaak 6 Halle Berry, 58, 'The most important thing about owning your sexuality is accepting the station you're at and embracing it' Credit: Instagram 6 Liz Hurley, 60, 'Powerful folk can be sexy. I adore Clinton... you know, naughty but nice with a very sexy voice' Credit: Instagram Dubbed Generation X-Rated, along with their nude snaps, they are sharing saucy sex confessions, dating toyboys and having the steamiest sex of their lives. Even at 67 Sharon Stone — technically a boomer — has set pulses racing with her latest magazine cover for Vogue. Proudly revealing her breasts in a sheer dress, it's her raunchiest shoot to date. While many may judge them for not 'acting their age', I'm sure millennials knee deep in nappies and Peppa Pig — in the so-called arid years — will be looking on with a hint of the green-eyed monster, and hoping that they too will revive their mojo in mid-life. Sharon Stone says she is 'hotter now than I have ever been' and that just as many people want to sleep with her as in her younger years. Meanwhile Advertisement READ MORE CELEBRITY NEWS And kudos to Amanda Holden, who is happily 'swinging from the chandeliers' with husband Chris Hughes, 51. She says he can't keep his hands off her, adding: 'I actually tell him off because I say, 'I don't want to have a kiss and a grope while I'm trying to load the dishwasher.' One secret to their saucy sex life is that She also says she has a Advertisement Most read in Celebrity Exclusive Heidi Klum is another Gen-X-er who is more than satisfied. Married to Tom Kaulitz, who is 16 years her junior, she has spoken about how she has found her match. Amanda Holden appears NAKED on radio just days after Ofcom complaints over BGT dress Describing her sex life as 'endless, hot and wild', she says she likes to have sex for hours. Heidi once said: 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while.' Advertisement The German model's daughter Leni, 20, also revealed on a podcast that she and her friends found her mum's sex closet — where she keeps her sex toys and dressing-up clothes. While most teens would be mortified, Leni described the secret stash as 'cool'. Sexual prime According to research, it's not just celebrities or fictional characters such as the Sex And The City girls or Bridget Jones who are experiencing a sexual reawakening in their 50s and beyond. Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert While millennials and Gen Z are in a sexual recession — having less sex than their parents — many women of Generation X or even boomers like Sharon Stone are in their sexual prime. Advertisement Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor said: 'Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. 'A survey by dating site Ourtime found that senior daters are more likely to leave the lights on in bed, and have sex sooner than daters aged 20 to 30.' She also said women have more access than previous generations to HRT to increase natural libido, and beauty treatments to boost confidence. Halle Berry is one Hollywood A-lister who has talked freely about post-menopause sex. Advertisement Last month she shared a video lying naked in bed with her boyfriend, 55-year-old musician Van Hunt, and held up a bottle of personal lubricant, laughing to the camera — hinting that they were about to get frisky. She has previously revealed that she has had red-light therapy down below and uses lubricating skincare products, declaring that she is now 'juicy like a peach'. Halle, 58, who has her own range of intimate wellness products, is as stunning as ever and her confidence is through the roof — at this year's Met Gala she appeared to go commando and left little to the imagination in a sheer dress. She insists 'Age is just a number they stick on us at birth' and looking at these sexy stars, you might say that it's almost possible to freeze time — if you have the means to do so. Advertisement Single In a similar move, Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara recently posted a holiday pic topless in just a thong bikini, and fans were amazed by how fabulous she looked. 6 Sofia Vergara, 52, 'I feel very sexy right when I wake up. But I feel even more after I shower, brush my hair and put on make-up' Credit: Instagram/sofiavergara 6 Heidi Klum, 52, 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while' Credit: Calzedonia Advertisement One posted: 'How the f*** are you 52?' while another speculated that she had airbrushed her bottom to make it appear bigger. Others left a trail of flame emojis and marriage proposals. Twice-married Sofia recently declared that she is looking for 'a lover' after her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello was finalised last year. After that thirst trap of a snap , there will be plenty of volunteers. As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor says: 'Women over 50 get a boost of va-va-voom, especially if they're single.' Advertisement And contrary to the trope that all menopausal women lose interest in sex, she adds: 'As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic.' Youth, they say, is wasted on the young. And numerous studies have shown that Gen Z is too busy scrolling TikTok and taking selfies to have much real-life sex. Meanwhile those in their 50s and older have reported improvements to their sex lives, with more than a third having the best sex of their lives, according to Swedish sex toy firm Lelo. Maybe youth isn't wasted on the young then — it's just the warm-up act for a spicier mid-life.
