Pitbull brings his I’m Back tour to Marlay Park on 7 July 2026, with Lil Jon as special guest. It is one of the biggest outdoor shows of the Irish summer - a high-energy party from start to finish, built around a career’s worth of global hits. If you want a loud, celebratory night in good company, this is it. The crowd will be large (Marlay Park holds up to 40,000), the production is full-scale, and the energy starts high and stays there.
Pitbull’s live show is built around non-stop momentum. His band, The Agents, play throughout, with dancers The Most Bad Ones adding to the spectacle. The setlist pulls from across his catalogue - Give Me Everything, International Love, Timber, Feel This Moment, Don’t Stop the Party - songs that have soundtracked everything from World Cup ceremonies to wedding receptions.
Lil Jon opens, meaning the party is already well underway before the headline act takes the stage. Gates open at 4:00pm on a standing-only field. Bring layers - July evenings in Dublin can turn cool - and pack a reusable water bottle (empty, non-glass). Bags must be A4 size maximum; no backpacks. There is no re-admission once you leave. Phone signal inside can be patchy, so agree on a meeting point with your group before you go through the gates.
Marlay Park sits in south Dublin, off Grange Road in Rathfarnham, roughly nine kilometres from the city centre. There is no parking for concert-goers, so public transport is the only sensible option.
The Luas Green Line to Dundrum is the simplest approach. From Dundrum, a Marathon Coaches shuttle (bookable in advance, €24 per booking) runs to the pedestrian entrance near Stonemasons Way - roughly a five-minute journey. Shuttles depart every 30 minutes from 2:30pm to 6:30pm, with return services loading from around 10:30pm. Dublin Bus routes 16 and 74 also serve the area, with diversions in place during the evening. A dedicated city-centre bus service operates from Earlsfort Terrace on concert nights. Post-concert, Nutgrove Shopping Centre is the designated pick-up point for taxis and private cars.
Allow extra time getting home - big Marlay Park shows always mean queues at the shuttle stop and on the Luas.
Rathfarnham is a leafy south Dublin suburb with Rathfarnham Castle and the foothills of the Dublin Mountains close by - worth a look if you are making a day of it before the gates open. There is more to see in Rathfarnham and across Co. Dublin.
