It’s a good sign when demand is so great that gig organisers move the event to a bigger venue, as happened with Olivia Dean’s upcoming performances at Marlay Park, which were initially planned for Fairview Park.In February the Londoner won the Grammy Award for best new artist (a prize previously won by Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish), cementing her status as one of the biggest names in pop music. Four Brit Awards, including artist of the year for 2026, soon followed. Still in her mid-20s, Dean has risen rapidly, with a string of catchy, sophisticated releases that have been streamed more than three billion times on Spotify. Even with an upgraded capacity, a ticket to see her in Dublin is hot property.

Gates for both gigs open at 4pm, with the show scheduled to start at 5pm. Early queuing is not allowed, so aim to arrive from 4pm onwards.

Organisers advise giving yourself an additional three hours’ travel time to compensate. It is possible to drive to the venue, but it is recommended you walk or use public transport.Travel by bus: Marathon Group is running return bus services, including Dublin city centre shuttle buses, as listed here.

The recommended drop-off and collection point if you’re getting a lift is in the SuperValu car park on Ballinteer Avenue. Some of the roads surrounding the park will be closed. Are any tickets left?There were none when we last checked the Ticketmaster website, but it’s worth refreshing intermittently to see if any verified resale tickets become available. Make sure you download your ticket to your phone in advance of the gig, as internet connectivity can be an issue and screenshots may not work on the day. Box offices for guest list and VIP passes are located at both the College Road and Grange Road entrances to Marlay Park. What is security like?
