Zach Bryan: Dublin stage times, transport, tickets, weather and everything else you need to know
As proof of his growing popularity over the past two years, the last time he performed in the capital it was to a meagre crowd of 1,500 in the Helix in April 2023. According to Aiken Promotions, who are looking after the concert, a ring of steel is currently being erected around the Phoenix Park stage as it braces for its first large scale concert since Ed Sheeran's performance back in 2018. Here's everything you need to know if you're one of the hundreds of thousands going to he American country singer-song writer's show this weekend. When and where is it on? Zach Bryan will play a trio of three sold out gigs at Phoenix Park in Dublin on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 20-22. Are there any tickets left? The gigs on Friday and Saturday have fully sold out, but at the time of writing there are a limited number of gold circle tickets available for Sunday on There is also a limited amount of resale tickets available. Attendees are urged to buy tickets from the official seller, only, and not from any secondary sellers or unofficial sources. Don't forget to check your tickets, ensure you are attending the correct date, and have your tickets downloaded. ADVERTISEMENT 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.
