Zach Bryan, Phoenix Park, Dublin - June 2025

Over the course of each of the three Zach Bryan concerts taking place this June 20th, 21st and 22nd - we are expecting tens of thousands to make their way to Dublin’s Phoenix Park.

We always recommend taking public transport to a large event of this size, but whatever mode of transport you intend on taking to attend the concert, please plan your journey in advance and follow our traffic management plan set out below.

Getting there by public transport:

Before the concert, Dublin Bus services will operate all routes around the Phoenix Park as normal.

From about 21:45pm to midnight each of the three nights, diversions will be put in place which will mean that the main Dublin Bus routes on the periphery of the park will change.

The periphery includes: Parkgate St, Conyngham Road, Infirmary Road, North Circular Road, the Navan Road and Blackhorse Avenue.

The affected bus routes are: 11, 37, 38, 38A, 26 and the 69.

Walking:

Those arriving on foot are to be aware that it is best to walk in through the main entrance to the park and straight up Chesterfield Avenue – this will take you approximately 45mins- one hour.

If you enter through the park’s entrance on the North Circular Road, the walk to the event will take similar time.

We will have a pedestrian crossing in place at the Halfway House roundabout on the Navan Road for those to safely cross the road and enter via the Castleknock and Cabra gate. We will be out on-duty along the roads in this area controlling traffic to ensure pedestrians all safely come and go.

If you are driving to the concert, please be aware of the following road traffic diversions:

Outbound/West:

Chesterfield Avenue, within the Phoenix Park will remain open for outbound traffic until the event begins coming to an end.

Traffic will then be diverted up Blackhall Place towards the Navan Road and onto John’s Road West.

Blackhorse Avenue will be closed from Nephin Road to Castleknock Road – with access only permitted to local residents and businesses.

Inbound/East:

Castleknock Road will be closed from Auburn Avenue to Ashtown Gate with access only permitted to residents and businesses. All other traffic will be diverted via Beechpark Avenue and Auburn Avenue.

Further traffic diversions will be implemented as the concert ends, to allow for the safe exit of all attendees on foot.

Rolling road closures may be required in real time so please follow the instructions of Garda and pay close attention to the VMS signage.
