Anyone going to the concert with children is being urged to purchase tickets for the designated alcohol-free family area.
One ticket is needed for each person who wants to access the area.
What are the gate and stage times?
The show is scheduled to get under way from 6pm after gates open at 5pm and finish at about 10.30pm.
The main entrance from the Phoenix Park is a 45 minute walk, so concert-goers should be prepared for a long walk.
Those with early access tickets can enter from 4.30pm. You can enter the concert grounds up until 9pm.
Stage times are yet to be announced.
Who is the opening acts?
There will be two support acts for the country singer including Turnpike Troubadours and Noeline Hofmann and gates will open at 5pm.
No early queuing will be permitted.
How should I get to the concert and home again?
With 180,000 fans set to descend on Phoenix Park across the weekend for Zach Bryan's sold-out gigs, significant traffic disruption is expected in the surrounding areas.
Concert-goers are being urged to use public transport where possible, as parking will be extremely limited and local access restrictions will be in place around the park.
Most attendees are expected to use the Park Gate entrance, so roads around Parkgate Street, Conyngham Road and the North Circular Road are likely to be particularly busy, especially in the hours before and after the concerts.
Gardaí have put a robust traffic and policing plan in place to help manage the crowds and ensure safety, but motorists should expect delays and plan alternative routes if travelling near Phoenix Park on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening.
Attendees are advised to allow plenty of time for their journey — it's recommended to factor in at least 45 minutes to walk from public transport stops to the concert site itself.
What public transport options are available to Phoenix Park?
Luas: Broombridge Luas Station is roughly a 30-minute walk from Phoenix Park, while the Luas stop at Heuston Station is about 40 minutes from the park's centre, or about 9 minutes from the park gates at Chesterfield Avenue.
Train: If you're getting the train, Heuston Station is your best bet. From there, you can take a bus from Parkgate Street, or walk—it's about 45 minutes on foot to the concert site, and around 9 minutes to the park gates.
Bus: Dublin Bus services like the 26, 38b, 39, 70, 99, C5 and C6 all serve Phoenix Park.
Private coach and minibus services are also running from various locations nationwide, and these will park inside the park.
Bus Éireann is offering special services from Cork, Limerick and Galway.
The Marathon Group will be operating dedicated concert buses from Earlsfort Terrace and other routes that will drop you inside the park.
Car: There's no parking near the venue or inside Phoenix Park itself. Gardaí will have a traffic management plan in place, and Dublin City Council will clamp or tow cars that are parked illegally.
If driving is your only option, try to carpool and use park and ride facilities (such as Red Cow, M3 Parkway, Navan N51, Cheeverstown, Carrickmines or Stillorgan). If you park in a city centre car park, double-check the closing time.
Drop-off/Pick-up: Drop-offs can be made at the Dublin Zoo car park, where stewards will be on hand. For pick-up, it's the same spot, but whoever's collecting you needs to be inside the park by 9.30pm.
They might need to wait until some of the crowd disperses after the concert finishes at 10.30pm.
What will the weather be like?
Dublin's weather this weekend will bring plenty of dry spells with sunshine, though showers are possible at times.
Friday will be very warm with highest temperatures of 19 to 26 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly or variable breezes with some showers appearing in parts of Dublin.
Saturday will be warm, with temperatures reaching 19 to 23 degrees, and will see a mix of cloud and sunny spells along with scattered showers—some of which could be heavy or thundery, especially coming up from the south.
On Sunday, it will feel a bit fresher, with highs of 16 to 21 degrees, and similar conditions of sunshine, cloud, and a few showers in a moderate westerly breeze.
What songs will Zach Bryan perform?
His set may include:
What is security like?
For concert, travel light and bring only the essentials. You can bring a small bag (A4 size or smaller), your phone or device with your ticket pre-downloaded, ID, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing (a raincoat or rain mac is recommended as umbrellas are not permitted), an empty 750ml plastic reusable water bottle (no metal bottles), and comfortable footwear, as the walk from the entrance to the venue will be at least 45 minutes and the event is fully standing.
Do not bring bags larger than A4, food, drink, alcohol, umbrellas, any kind of chair, prams, scooters, skateboards, laptops, cooler boxes, hampers, or professional cameras (small 35mm cameras are fine).
Selfie sticks, flag poles, large banners, or any item that could obstruct views or compromise safety are also not allowed.
The concerts at Phoenix Park in Dublin are fully cashless events. Attendees are advised to bring a card or digital payment method for any purchases, as cash will not be accepted. This includes transactions for merchandise, food, and drinks.

I'm an American living in the UK, here is the common US habit that is considered ‘crass' in Britain
AFTER moving to the UK, one American woman noticed a big cultural difference. She revealed a common US habit that is considered to be "crass" by Brits. 2 An American woman living in the UK pointed out one of the biggeset cultural differences she has come across Credit: TikTok/@yorkshireyank The TikTok user, know as And while things such as tipping culture and humour are widely known to differ between the nationalities, there is another significant difference, according to the American. Talking about money is something which the British and those living in the States approach in opposite ways. "One thing that you'll hear in the States is how much somebody paid for a house, or whatever," the TikToker said. Read More On Real Life She recalled how a friend of hers in the US spoke openly about how much she paid for her sofa and stove among other things during a "house tour". On the other hand, she pointed out how people in the UK tend to be a little more reserved when it comes to financial matters. "Brits just don't talk about differences in money because, honestly, it's crass and why do I need to know how much your sofa cost? It's like you're bragging or something," she explained. The influencer went on to say that she thinks people in UK are "more mindful of others".

"Whereas in Britain you might tell me you like my dress and I'll immediately brag about getting it on sale, or the pockets," agreed another person. "It's not classy to talk about money, and I personally don't want anyone to know my financial situation," commented a third TikTok user.

Tom Dunne's review of Zach Bryan in Dublin: 'Great fun and the music was a revelation'
'Who is Zach Bryan?' is suddenly the question of the hour. And how is he second only to Taylor Swift for music streams in Ireland and now playing to 180,000 people over three nights at the Phoenix Park? Is he the new Pope? I am despatched to find out. In preparation I dive into Zach world. It is a revelation. The voice, the words, the songwriting, the guests, the storytelling. Where has this boy been all my life? It is American Country, of a type. There are references to his 'daddy's ford', drinking whiskey, playing pool and nostalgia for a time gone by. The message is simple: The further South you go, the better things get. But these songs are written by a man familiar with Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago and Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. Two of his albums start with poems. You can tell he is in thrall to words and cadence and writing. Zach Bryan fans at his concert in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Picture: Gareth Chaney By the time I get to Phoenix Park, it's all starting. There are girls in cowboy hats, cowboy boots, short skirts and waist coats. It looks like a massive Memphis-themed hen party. Average age, early twenties. The number of Northern accents is striking. The audience is, I'm told, mostly from the West and the North, with only 10% of ticket sales in Dublin. Bryan is 29. He spent eight years in the American navy. His mum died of alcohol related health issues when in 2019. He released his first album, DeAnn, named in her honour that year. Since then, it's been four more albums, Grammys and number ones. Zach on stage is a gentle, mannerly, good looking guy with great songs and great players. There are fiddles a go go. Something in the Orange, I Remember Everything, Pink Skies and Heading South sound like songs you've always known, beautiful, timeless, evocative. The audience know every word. He seems to have gone to the level Bruce is at here without the intervening 40 years. A tricolour is passed to the stage. 'I love you guys, I love you Dublin' he tells us repeatedly. It as if we have always been there for him, except of course. Zach Bryan at the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Photo: Gareth Chaney Being older than his demographic, I probably pick up on a few influences they might miss: There's a hint of Steve Earle to it, a dollop of Gram Parsons, particularly in the image area, Nudie suits can't be far off here. And then there's Warren Zevon. He plays Warren's Lawyers, Guns and Money, a song so perfect for 2025 it could have been written yesterday. The audience are eating out of his hands. There are sing along songs but many more have a gentle sadness to them. 'A lot of sad in the songs?' I say to a girl in a cowboy hat. 'Ah sad is good, ya know,' she tells me. No argument there. I come away with more questions that answers. The sheer speed with which people become huge these days. The sheer range of influences they can quietly absorb. And how did this guy get so good so fast? Read More Madness review: One step beyond as Suggs and co roll out the hits in Cork
