Everything you need to know about Oasis in Croke Park

RTÉ News​16 hours ago
Oasis are set to bring their reunion tour to Ireland with two huge gigs at Dublin's Croke Park in August - find out everything you need to know about the highly-anticipated gigs here.
After bust-ups, smash hits and break-ups, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally put their differences aside and taken to the road for their first gigs in over 16 years, kicking off their Live 25 tour with two triumphant gigs at Cardiff's Principality Stadium at the start of July.
Former members of the group have also made a return with Andy Bell on bass, Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs on guitars and renowned drummer Joey Waronker behind the kit.
The Manchester rockers last played in Ireland in 2009 when they headlined Slane Castle, performing to over 80,000 fans, so excitement levels are through the roof for Irish fans of the iconic Britpop band.
Find out the important details of Oasis' Croke Park gigs below.
When and where
Oasis bring their highly-anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park on Jones' Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August 2025.
Getting there
Croke Park is within easy reach of the city centre and Dublin Airport and is well serviced by transport links.
Walking/Cycling
The stadium is just a 30 minute walk or 10 minute cycle from O'Connell Street in the city centre.
Driving
Increased traffic volumes and local road closures lead to significant delays on concert days. The roads surrounding the stadium are residential and car parking is limited, with restrictions in place. Organisers advise concert goers to use public transport.
Bus
A large number of Dublin Bus routes bring you close to Croke Park and others will get you to the city centre which is within walking distance.
Bus Routes that serve Croke Park
1, 6, 7(a), 11, 13, 15, 16, 27(a/b), 33, 40(b/d/e), 41(b/c/d), 42, 43, 44, 53a, 122, 123, 130, H1, H2, H3.
Full details at TFI.ie
Train/Dart/Luas
The closest railway station is Drumcondra at the intersection of Drumcondra Road (N1) and Clonliffe Road, a five-minute walk from the stadium.
The closest Dart stations are Connolly and Clontarf which are both less than half an hour's walk from the stadium.
The closest Luas stop is also at Connolly Station on the Red Line. The Parnell and Marlborough Green Line Luas stops are also close by.
Approach Routes
BLUE ROUTE (Hogan Stand): Enter via Jones Road and Russell Street.
RED ROUTE (Cusack Stand): Enter via St James Avenue and Foster Terrace.
YELLOW ROUTE (Davin Stand): Enter via St Margaret's Terrace.
GREEN ROUTE (PITCH A): Enter via Josephs Avenue.
RED ROUTE (PITCH B & C): Enter via St James Avenue and Foster Terrace.
Opening time of the venue
Admission begins at 5pm. Strictly no early queuing or camping permitted. Stage times will be released closer to the concert dates.
Can I still buy tickets?
Unfortunately not! The tickets have long been snapped up for these gigs following a dynamic pricing furore. Fans can keep an eye on Ticketmaster for official resale tickets and see if they get lucky.
What to expect
Expect to hear over 80,000 rabid Irish Oasis fans screaming at the top of their lungs along to the band's sizeable back-catalogue of hits! By all accounts, Liam and Noel are on top form for the reunion tour.
Following a triumphant return to the stage in Cardiff on 4 July, they went on to play emotionally charged, hit-laden sets when they kicked off a five-date homecoming run in Manchester on 11 July.
They'll play five nights at London's Wembley Stadium and three at Edinburgh's Murrayfield so the lads are sure to be primed and ready for their two-nighter at Croke Park in August.
We imagine the Dublin leg of the tour will carry extra significance for the Gallagher brothers due to their deep ties to Ireland - their parents Peggy and Thomas are both Irish and they consider it a strong part of their identity.
Setlist
Setlists are always subject to change, but here's the one from their Heaton Park, Manchester gig on 12 July.

Mescal 'so lucky' to get All-Ireland tickets as he joins Blackmore on the BBC

Paul Mescal joked how he was 'so lucky' to get free All-Ireland final tickets as he featured on BBC's coverage of Sunday's decider. The British public broadcaster showed Cork v Tipperary live on TV across the UK, with Mescal at Croke Park as part of their coverage. "All-Ireland final day is one of the most special days in the calendar and to be here with dad, we're so lucky to be getting free tickets to an All-Ireland final," he stated. The actor added: "I'm so glad it's being shown across the UK because it is a huge cultural moment every year. It's a massive event for Irish people across the world. It's not just the people living in Ireland, it's for the diaspora and everybody else." The former Kildare minor footballer's father joined him at Croke Park and said: "This is the pinnacle of Irish sport. It is the absolute pinnacle and you have to be here to fully get the atmosphere." Singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, whose father is from Offaly, and recently retired jockey Rachael Blackmore, a Tipperary native, were also part of the BBC's star-stunned line-up. Grennan, attending his first All-Ireland final, commented: "This is amazing. This has been a dream of mine to come to an All-Ireland. "I've got my dad with me. He has worn the Offaly shirt, but to be here and just to see everybody mixing... like if you saw this at a North London derby that wouldn't be the case. You'd have one half and one half where everybody's mixes, a sea of different colours. It's a beautiful thing."

Advertisement THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people. 3 The item is ideal for summer holidays Credit: instagram
