What time is it on? This year's Longitude festival will open for business at 2pm on Friday and run until approximately 11pm each evening.
Are there still tickets? Only for Sunday at the regular prices. Day tickets for Friday and Saturday and weekend tickets are now sold out. There were some VIP tickets still available though (about €110 for Friday, for example), if you're willing to pay that little bit extra. See ticketmaster.ie or check out #ticketfairy on social media if you're hunting for second-hand tickets.
How do I get there? Longitude is a bit of a pain to access on Longitude weekend, and the huge volume of people usually means it's a struggle to get on regular bus services. Dublin Bus services that go close to the festival site include:
16 Airport / O’Connell Street to Grange Road
116 Burlington Road to Grange Road
161 Dundrum Road Luas Station to Grange Road
Also, the
14 Beaumont via Amiens Street to Ballinteer Shopping Centre
75 The Square Tallaght / Dun Laoghaire to Ballinteer Shopping Centre
both go to Ballinteer shopping centre, which is about a 20-minute walk away.
From the city centre, Marathon Coaches is operating a return bus service from Georges Quay (outside Ulster Bank) in the city centre. Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Departure times are: 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00. Tickets are €10 when booked online up to 10am on the morning of each service, or €15 return or €10 one way on the day. These usually sell out so get on it. Click here for more

What's the weather going to be like?
Non-stop sunshine for 72 hours. Of course not, this is Ireland. Friday is likely to be warm and dry, with some rain forecast for Saturday, which is likely to be cooler. Sunday, though, is looking good with temperatures forecast of up to 20 degrees.
