A major traffic management plan is in place in and around the Phoenix Park in Dublin for Saturday and Sunday's concerts featuring The Killers and Mumford and Sons among others.
Gardai say they will co-ordinate normal commuter traffic while accommodating the concert shuttle, coaches and pedestrians.
The concerts on Saturday and Sunday will involve the traffic management of concert-goers together with normal visitors to the Phoenix Park and Dublin Zoo.
Gardai expect approximately 40,000 patrons on each day. Concert promoters are encouraging the use of public transport in so far as possible and recommend concert patrons avail of public transport as they warn parking will not be available in the Phoenix Park.
