Extra public transport services will be in place for the Oasis concerts at Croke Park on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August 2025. Large crowds are expected, so passengers should plan ahead, travel early, and allow plenty of time for their journey.

Key travel information

Alcohol is not permitted on board or at stations and may be confiscated. All Intercity journeys require pre-booked tickets, and passengers must travel on the service shown on their booking. Many services from Cork, Galway and Limerick are already sold out — concertgoers are advised not arrive at these stations without a valid ticket, as boarding will not be possible. Limited parking is available at stations, so consider arranging a drop-off. Bringing water is recommended, with refill points available at several stations. Bikes are not permitted on DART or Commuter services during the event period.
