After a seven-year gap, the French music group, Phoenix, has made a return to the Irish scene. They’re particularly popular for their hit songs like ‘Lisztomania’ and ‘1901’. Their appearance is part of the Alpha Zulu tour, named after their 2022 album. This album was heavily influenced by the memory of their friend and collaborator, Philippe Zdar, and the experiences of the Covid pandemic.
During the forthcoming event, fans can anticipate a combination of Phoenix’s renowned tracks from their entire music collection. Individuals planning to watch the band perform in Iveagh Gardens can continue to gain insights on all the essential details.
Come Thursday, July 18th, Phoenix is billed to entertain fans at Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens. Doors will open at 6:30pm with Phoenix set to hit the stage at 9pm. As of now, the opening act details haven’t been announced, but they’ll be performing at 8pm.
Limited tickets for the gig still remain available on Ticketmaster at the moment of writing. Avoid unofficial sources and buy tickets only from valid venues. For those driving, there are no available parking spots at the venue, but city centre parking is accessible. Q-Park at Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is the nearest, and pre-booking is an option at q-park.ie.
If one opts for public transport, Luas, bus, and rail are all viable options that will lead you to a spot within walking distance of Iveagh Gardens. Plan your trip using the online planner at transportforireland.ie from any location in Ireland.
At their recent performance in Segrate, Italy, Phoenix had an exciting track list, featuring classic hits such as ‘Lisztomania’, ‘Entertainment’, ‘Lasso’, amongst others. This gives a promising hint of what the fans could expect at the upcoming concert in Dublin.
Tonight’s event in Rome is expected to be an exciting one, but there are a few important points to keep in mind. People under 18 need to be escorted by a grown-up, and only handbags or bags smaller than A4 size are allowed. All bags are subject to inspection.
In terms of what’s not allowed, the list includes potentially harmful items, bottles, cans, flasks, frisbees, unlawful substances, vehicles like scooters or skateboards, flag poles, selfie sticks, flares, laser devices, prams, collapsible and inflatable chairs, large rucksacks or suitcases, laptops, illegal items for sale, umbrellas, picnic baskets, coolers, air horns, alcohol, beverages, food, and pets (guide dogs and service dogs being the exceptions).
On-site restaurants and bars will serve food and beverages for purchase, but this is an entirely cashless event, and there’s no ATM available. So, ensure that you bring a card or have a charged phone for digital card usage.
People deemed to be provoking or dangerous, or who pose a risk to public safety, will not be let in, and may be reported to law enforcement authorities. A first aid station will be available, staffed by professional medical personnel.
You’re allowed to photograph at the concert, but professional cameras, specifically those with detachable lenses, are not permitted.
As for the weather, expect mixed conditions. The prediction suggests sporadic light rain or drizzle interspersed with sun in the early part of the day. However, it should be mostly dry by evening with temperatures ranging from 17 to 22 degrees. Since it’s an outdoor event, be ready for fluctuating weather, and do remember – umbrellas are not allowed.
