Tom Jones Dublin concert – start time, support acts, tickets, setlist and more

Tom Jones, alongside the iconic Nile Rodgers and CHIC, is set to dazzle Dublin with their timeless tunes this weekend.

The musical legends are gearing up for a show-stopping performance at the renowned St Anne’s Park this Sunday, June 9.

Dubliners have been buzzing as the sold-out gig marks the grand finale of a series of electrifying concerts recently hosted at the park.

For those lucky enough to snag tickets, here’s the lowdown on everything from stage times and support acts to what you can’t bring along.

Tickets

If you didn’t manage to grab a ticket, don’t lose hope just yet!

Keep an eagle eye on Ticketmaster for any Resale tickets that pop up you might just strike gold.

Start time

Be ready to rock as gates swing open at 5pm sharp, with the first act hitting the stage at 5.30pm. Remember, early queuing is a no-go according to organisers.

Support acts

Get excited as the legendary Billy Ocean is confirmed to warm up the crowd before Tom Jones takes the stage. He’s been churning out hits since 1976, so expect some nostalgic vibes.

Parking

A heads-up for drivers there’s no public parking available at the event. Organisers have made it clear: “The car parks in St Anne’s are not open to the public during events. Please do not park illegally. Towing and clamping in operation. Customers are advised to use public transport to access the park.”

Public transport

Plan ahead and book your return journey well in advance, factoring in at least two extra hours of travel time to and from the venue. Walking, cycling, or using public and private coach services are the recommended modes of transport for fans.

By DART: The DART will run services to and from the concerts each day. Alight at HARMONSTOWN DART station.
