BRITISH ROCK BAND Coldplay have returned to Dublin to play two sold-out concerts in Croke Park.
This is the band’s second time playing the national stadium, having been here in 2017.
The four shows, which take place tonight, Friday, Sunday and Monday, are part of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour.
Stadium gates will open at 5pm and early queuing is not permitted.
The first support act is Dublin R&B artist Coulibaly, who will take to the stage at 6:30pm, followed by American singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers at 7:15pm.
Coldplay are due on stage at 8:30pm and are set to play for two hours.
The stadium holds over 80,000 people and gardaí are keen to manage resources.
Dublin football rivals Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers had their Dalymount Park game rescheduled to the earlier time of 11:30am on Sunday to spread out personnel.
Those attending the Coldplay gig are encouraged to walk or take public transport.
The nearest DART stations are Drumcondra and Connolly.
Croke Park is also about a 15 minute walk from each of the Connolly (Red line), Parnell and Marlborough (Green line) Luas stops.
Dublin Bus routes that drop off near Croke Park include 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, and H3.

Last night, lead singer Chris Martin surprised fans with an open air live show on Grafton Street, which garnered a crowd of thousands.
Other artists who’ve done this include Niall Horan, Ed Sheeran and Gavan James.

A very boring band. No thank you.
@Sean Money: There’s at least 300,000 people in this country who think differently, not to to even mention the thousands who couldn’t get tickets. Fair play to Chris Martin for doing a bit of busking on Grafton Street last night, he’s a class act.
@The Firestarter: He wasn’t busking he was making a music video. Pity the Cops wouldn’t walk around the streets of Dublin and show some presence instead of being a bodyguard to some musician.
They’re back to play 2 sold-out concerts as per article
The 4 shows are tonight, Fri, Sun, and Mon.
Either a typo has been made, or there are still tickets available for 2 shows.
I wonder which is correct.
@Geraldine O’Riordan: More pissinformation from a blogger at The Urinal
@Geraldine O’Riordan: you’d expect nothing less from these so called “journalists”
CENSORSHIP AT ALL COST.
@087 bed: Oh just go back to russia would you!
@Fr. Fintan Stack: You must get big money from journal.ie to police the comments with your BS bile.
@087 bed: Whereas you presumably provide us with your unhinged ramblings from the goodness of your heart. Who’s the bigger fool?
Mairead, you need a proof reader before you publish, band are playing 4 nights and there is no Dart to Drumcondra,shoddy journalism.
Drumcondra is not a DART station
Last time I saw Coldplay, some mad lass tricked me into inserting a Rose Quartz Egg up my…
Supposedly, it was gonna “cultivate my sexual energy, clear chi pathways in my body, intensify femininity, and invigorate my life force.”
No way I’m going. Thanks for the yeast infection.
@Pól Pot: It really is All Yellow.
@Pól Pot: Nobody said it was easy.
@Brendan O’Brien: Like your ma?
