The Lumineers, an American two-man folk band made up of Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, are set to return to St Anne’s Park on Saturday, two years since their last performance there.

The Dublin concert is part of their Europe and UK tour leg for their latest and fifth album, Automatic, that launched earlier this year in February. David Baron, the producer, has worked with artists such as Noah Kahan, Shawn Mendes and Shania Twain. Simone Felice and The Lumineers were also involved in the production of this album.

The duo’s powerful songwriting and confessional lyrics are expected to pack a punch at the sold-out show. If you are one of the lucky ones to have secured tickets, you are in for a treat.

When and where is it?

The Lumineers play at St Anne’s Park in Clontarf, Dublin, on Saturday May 31st.

How do I get to and from the gig?

Anyone going to The Lumineers is advised to plan and book return travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. Traffic and parking delays are forecast, and you are advised to walk, cycle, use public transport or private coaches. Further detail is outlined below.

Travel by bus: Marathon Coaches are among those offering direct, private services, with a return bus operating from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 in Dublin city centre to a range of destinations across Dublin, Meath and Kildare. JJ Kavanagh Event Coaches also pick up from locations in Limerick, Nenagh, Roscrea, Portlaoise, Kildare, Clonmel, Callan, Kilkenny, Waterford and Carlow. Dublin Bus run services in proximity to St Anne’s Park. Routes from Abbey St Lower include 6, H1, H2, H3 or 130. Visit www.dublinbus.ie for more information.

Travel by train: The Dart will run services to and from the concerts each day. You are advised to alight at Harmonstown Dart station. Visit www.irishrail.ie for more information.

Travel by car: Attendees are advised to use public transport, as there is no public parking at the event. The car parks at St Anne’s Park are not open during events, and towing and clamping is in operation for anyone who parks illegally.

The final hurdle: When you reach the site, there are two entrances. You may enter through whichever of these is most convenient for you, and organisers advise that both routes require about a 1.3km walk from the park entrance to ticket scan/entry.

• Green entrance: Sybil Hill on to main avenue.

• Blue entrance: All Saints Road, via Tennis court entry.

Are there any tickets left?

Unfortunately, tickets for the concert are sold out. But you may be lucky to secure some verified resale tickets at Ticketmaster.ie. Please be mindful of any scams involving tickets. If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

Anyone attending should download tickets to their phone in advance, in case there are issues around internet connection when entering the park. It is important to remember that screenshots will not work on the day, as barcodes are live and updating regularly.

There is a box office on the main avenue, where the green and blue routes meet, for those who need to collect their tickets.

What is security like?

Under-16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter St Anne’s Park. Strict security checks will be in operation, and you are advised not to bring a large bag or backpack as you may experience delays or even be refused entry.

Prohibited items include glass or cans, umbrellas, alcohol, garden furniture, camping or collapsible chairs, e-scooters and e-bikes, flares, professional cameras and audio recording equipment. A full list can be found here.

There are no readmissions to the concert, so if you leave you cannot get back in.

What does the weather look like?

Temperatures should get to a high of 19 degrees, but Met Éireann has forecast spells of rain showers over the coming days, with breezier conditions than of late also expected. Given St Anne’s Park is a standing venue on a grass surface, you should bring boots or runners as well as layering up. It may help to have a raincoat or poncho alongside your sun cream.
