Everything you need to know about George Ezra at Malahide Castle

George Ezra is playing Malahide Castle tonight and here is everything you need to know before heading to the gig.

The UK singer is heading to the iconic Dublin venue with gates opening at 5pm.

This is the second of three Irish open-air shows George will be headlining with the first last night in Cork’s Independent Park and a third in Ormeau Park, Belfast tomorrow.

The concert is completely sold out and he will be joined by The Vaccines and KAWALA as the support acts.

George is set to take the stage at 9pm with The Vaccines at 7.15pm and KAWALA at 6.15pm.

Early and overnight queuing is not permitted and anyone who does this will be turned away.

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult and ID will be required.

All bags bigger than A4 will not be permitted and everyone entering will be subject to searches.

It is strongly advised not to bring a bag to avoid long queues.

There are no cloak rooms and umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans, GoPros, professional cameras and any other recording equipment are banned.

You can however take photos and videos on small cameras and phones.

Any bags left at the entrance will be removed and disposed of.

It is advised to allow plenty of time to get into the event, and for concert entry procedures, ticket checks and searches.

Alcohol is not allowed to be brought in as there is facilities for on site purchase along with excessive amounts of cigarettes and animals are not permitted with the exception of guide dogs.

For his Malahide gig, Hogan’s Gate at Malahide Dart station will be the only pedestrian access to the grounds.

Vehicles will only be permitted through the back road entrance and car park spaces are limited and traffic is inevitable.

It is strongly urged not to park in illegal spaces or local residential areas as they will be subject to clamping.

It is a 10 minute walk from the train station and again the use of public transport is strongly advised.

Darts northbound leave the city regularly to Malahide and the last one back to Dublin leaving at 12.07am with the last train to Dundalk heading at 12.05am.

Private concert buses will leave Malahide Cricket Club at 11pm once it finished and head back to the city stopping at George’s Quay which costs €10 and are advised to be booked in advance but can be booked after the concert.

If driving to the concert, from the south take the M50 northbound taking the exit at junction 3 towards the airport.

If coming from the north take the M1 and coming off at junction 4.

As weather has been fluctuating in recent weeks, it is advised to check the morning of each event and dress appropriately.

Outdoor footwear is encouraged as well as the use of sun cream.

Any form of antisocial behaviour, crowd surfing, moshing and public urination will not be tolerated, the same goes for illegal activity and people caught doing so will be removed.

The organisers have warned to keep an eye on all belongings during the event and be reminded that it is a residential area.

Disabled parking is available in a designated area of the car parks, which can be accessed via Back Road.
