Getting to Malahide Castle
Those travelling by public transport have plenty of options.
The DART is one of the easiest ways to reach the venue, with Malahide Station located around a 15-minute walk from the castle grounds. Services run from Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse and Grand Canal Dock stations.
Dublin Bus routes H2, 42 and 102 (from Dublin Airport) also serve Malahide, while several private coach operators, including Irish Concert Travel, JJ Kavanagh and Marathon Coaches, will be running dedicated concert services.
What can I bring?
Concertgoers are permitted to bring:
- One sealed plastic bottle of water or soft drink (up to 500ml)
- Empty reusable water bottles, which can be filled at free water stations inside the venue
What isn’t allowed?
Fans should note that bags larger than A4 size are not permitted.
Other prohibited items include:
- Umbrellas
- Glass bottles or cans
- Flags and flagpoles
- Professional cameras and recording equipment
- Disposable vapes
Anyone arriving with restricted items may be refused entry.
What will the weather be like?
The forecast is looking promising, with sunshine expected for much of the day alongside some scattered showers.
Temperatures are set to reach around 19°C, so while sunglasses may come in handy, packing a light rain jacket wouldn’t be the worst idea either.
Whether you’re hoping to hear classics like This Love and She Will Be Loved or newer favourites from Love Is Like, it’s shaping up to be a memorable night as Maroon 5 make their long-awaited return to Dublin.
