Oasis at Croke Park

Oasis have not played Ireland since 2008 and for a generation of Irish music fans, the reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher ranks as one of the most anticipated nights in years. Two dates at Croke Park in August 2026 - both sold out almost instantly - means 80,000 people per night will be there for it. This is a stadium singalong on a scale that few artists can match, and Oasis at their peak were made for exactly this kind of show.
Gates open at 4pm and support acts begin from around 6pm. Richard Ashcroft, former frontman of The Verve, opens the night, followed by Liverpool’s Cast - a lineup that reads like a greatest-hits of the Britpop era before the headliners even take the stage. Oasis are expected on around 8:15pm and will play until roughly 10:30pm.
The band on stage is not just the Gallagher brothers. Noel and Liam are joined by Andy Bell of Ride, Gem Archer, original guitarist Bonehead, and drummer Joey Waronker. The setlist covers the full run - Supersonic, Live Forever, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Some Might Say, and more. Every one of those songs will be sung back louder than the PA.
Bag rules are strict: nothing larger than A4 is permitted inside. No umbrellas, no glass, no selfie sticks. Dress for whatever August decides to throw at you - the pitch standing areas and the front rows are fully exposed to wind and rain, while upper tier seats sit under the stadium’s overhang. Screens are large enough that sightlines from most positions are solid.
Croke Park sits on Jones Road, Drumcondra, about 2km north of the city centre. The easiest way in is by public transport. Drumcondra train station on the northern suburban rail line is a five-minute walk from the main entrance. Connolly Station on the DART and intercity lines is around a 20-minute walk, or a short taxi. Bus routes from the city centre - including the 1, 7, 16, 40, 123 and H1 - drop within easy reach. There is no public parking at or near the stadium on concert nights; leave the car in the city and walk or take the bus out.
Drumcondra is a calm, residential village compared to the city centre, with plenty of pubs along the main road that will fill early on concert nights - expect queues after the show. There is more to see in Drumcondra and across Co. Dublin.
