Everything you need to know for the Oasis Reunion concert

The highly anticipated Oasis Reunion Tour marks the first time the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, have shared the stage since their split in 2009.

In a joint statement, the band said: 

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”

Set Times and Planning

While exact set times haven’t been released yet, it’s typical for concerts of this scale in Croke Park to have gates open around 5pm, with opening acts likely starting around 7pm and Oasis hitting the stage around 8:30pm or 9pm. It’s advisable to arrive early to avoid long queues and secure a good spot.

Preparation Tips:

  1. Tickets: Ensure you have your tickets at hand and in a safe place. With such a busy queue at the stadium gates, you will want to ensure you are moving as quickly as possible.
  2. Transport: Plan your journey in advance and try to give yourself plenty of extra time. Croke Park is well serviced by Dublin transport links, but Dublin Bus, the LUAS and the DART, will all be much busier than usual, with potential delays due to large crowds. 
  3. What to Bring: Pack light but make sure to bring essentials like a fully charged phone, portable charger, ID, and a light rain jacket for the unpredictable Irish weather. Note that large bags may not be allowed in.
