    Not expecting any more additions. Gates are currently advertised as being 5pm.

    So you can expect something like: (just a guess remember)

    5.15 HAIM (probably get a 30-35 minute set)
    6.00 Frank Ocean (probably get a 45-50 minute set)
    7.15 Two Door Cinema Club (Should get 60-70 minute set)
    9.00 The Killers


    Last year both The Stone Roses & Snow Patrol came on stage at 9.15pm while SHM came on just after 8pm.

    How do I find out what gates to the park are open for access to these concerts. I'm coming from west dublin and the Chapelizod or Knockmaroon gates are nearest to me. But I don't want to get there and find them closed - I'll walking to the park from home.
    Can't find any info on MCD website.

    I think Frank Ocean is being billed above TDCC, so that order might be switched around.

    Agreed. Most of the crowd won't be very familiar with Frank Ocean's material whereas the majority would have a decent knowledge of TDCC. It might kill the atmosphere a little bit.

    I was at the Stone Roses in London a few weeks ago. Miles Kane and Johnny Marr were the first two acts and had the park really going. Then PIL came on and killed it stone dead.

    Crowd had to work themselves back up for the Stone Roses!!

    I'm not going to lie, I had no idea who Frank Ocean was when I bought my ticket, as I've been a huge fan of the Killers for years, but since I started listening to his music, it's not clear which I'm looking forward to more, him or the Killers. He's not playing any other Irish dates, so I'd say quite a few fans have bought tickets with him in mind. I'm certainly looking forward to his set and I really hope it's longer than 30 minutes.

    Each to our own, Just because I buy a Oxygen ticket doesn't mean I'm there for any of the headline acts, I remeber being at Example this year in the O2 and there was this guy going crazy when Benga came on the stage, he kept screaming "This is all I'm here for!! Benga! Benga!".. It totally confused me since I had never heard of him prior to the Example gig. :D

    Hi, everyone. I'm going to Justin Timberlake on July 10 and just had some questions if it's ok. I don't know where I'm supposed to go to queue because I've never been to Phoenix Park and I think there are multiple gates? Also does anyone know if disabled people have a different queue like at the 02? I'm staying at the Regency hotel so would leaving at 5pm give us enough time to be there at 6pm? I was thinking that there could be loads of traffic. Sorry to bother you all with stupid questions. I'm just a bit anxious. Oh and is the wheelchair area any good? I can't seem to find out anything online.

    Hey guys.

    Heading to see Mumford (well, Ben Howard really) on the 14th, Sunday. Will be coming from Galway and we need to head back down afterwards as OH has to go to work Monday morning.

    So we're not sure what way to go about it, should we drive or take a bus? We have absolutely no clue how to get around Dublin, let alone know where to go in Phoenix Park, so I would assume bus? Are there parking arrangements set up? What time roughly would it be finished at?

    Any other obvious tips or info would be great too thanks.

    If you can get your mits on a sat-nav then you can negotiate Dublin no problem with the car. Get it to point you a multistory carpark within walking distance of Phoenix Park and you are sorted. Sorry that's all I got! :P

    Ridiculous statement.

    I can't go to the Killers gig anymore because of an event clashing with it but was really looking forward to it, should be a great gig. Only trouble now is trying to sell a ticket for a gig that isn't sold out. Ugh.

    Two-Door are brilliant live.

    I quite like Frank Ocean too but I was surprised to see him on this lineup.

    You're not explaining it very well, value is a very subjective thing.

    €60 could be a drop in the ocean for the poster, the poster could be Frank Ocean's Forrest Gump taking his chance on Frank's one visit to Ireland to declare his requited love for Frank etc. etc.

    I considered paying for a ticket for mainly for Haim and Frank Ocean but it just wasn't good 'value' in my case.

    You could still try and sell them at less than face value.
