Longitude Festival is upon us once again for the second year. It’s fair to say that line up is quite impressive, as Ben Howard, Disclosure, Massive Attack and many more make their way to Marlay Park this weekend.
So if you are lucky to be going to the event – which is almost sold out – then here are few things you might want to know.
What To Bring?

Gates open at 13:30 with music kicking off a half an hour later. So you have a day to plan for with sunscreen, sunglasses, and even some rain gear for those pesky showers. Umbrellas aren’t allowed and can be very awkward when you’re in the middle of crowd, so don’t bring them.
Don’t weigh yourself down with loads of stuff, just bring some essentials like ID, money, weatherproof clothes, ticket (you would be surprised) and your fully charged phone, in case you lose your mates or need to call a taxi.
Plan getting there isn’t just my advice or any other media outlet, it is also the Gardai and promoters. Get the concert shuttle bus, Dublin Bus, taxi, car pool, cycle, or even the Luas (30mins walk).
Dublin Bus routes serve the Grange Road entrances of Marlay Park immediately outside the concert site:
16
Airport / O’Connell Street to Grange Road
116
Burlington Road to Grange Road
161
Dundrum Road Luas Station to Grange Road
These Dublin Bus routes serve Ballinteer Shopping Centre approx. 15 minutes walk to the concert site:
14
Beaumont via Amiens Street to Ballinteer Shopping Centre
75
The Square Tallaght / Dun Laoghaire to Ballinteer Shopping Centre
Traffic delays are inevitable please allow plenty of additional travel time – MCD and Gardai recommend at least an extra 2 hours.
Whelan’s 25 Tent
Whelan’s Live are involved with Longitude Festival this year. The sheer range of acts – including those who have performed in the venue – makes Whelan’s and Longitude a perfect fit.
Whelan’s tent is a 2000 capacity tent formally known as the Woodlands stage. The line-up this year features Parquet Courts, Bipolar Sunshine, Afghan Whigs, Conor Oberst, Samaris, Eagulls, San Fermin and Son Lux, amongst others.
TXFM Area

What Else?
The Dirty Old Town Speakeasy is a sideshow, a comedy tavern, a slam joint, a cabaret salon, and a lost circus rolled into one with rappers, warblers, gigglers, rudeboys, gypsy hip-hopsters and the odd musician wander.
The RBMA stage returns to the open-air festival, performing on the RBMA stage this summer will be: Adultrock / Axel Boman / Colin Devine / Colm K / Conor Feeney / Discotekken / Galactic Beat Club / Handsome Paddy / I Am The Cosmos / Jackmaster / Jonnie Foley / Lasertom / Mano Le Tough / Solar Bears / Tome DJ’s
