Country music is having a serious moment, and Zach Bryan is amongst its brightest stars. He’s set to play 2 sold-out shows in Pairc Ui Chaoimh this weekend. If you’re one of the 90,000 people heading in to check out the shows, here’s everything you need to know.

SET TIMES

The stadium will open both evenings – Sat and Sunday – at 5pm, and fans are advised to arrive early, especially if you have standing tickets. There will be 2 support acts before Zach takes to the stage. The following times are subject to change:

5pm – Doors6pm – Fey Fili6.30pm – Dijon7:30 – Zach Bryan

WEATHER

Met Eireann are forecasting a dry weekend in the Rebel county, with a high of 18c Saturday and a slightly cooler 17c Sunday. As it’s an outdoor event, keep an eye out for any changes in the weather forecast.

Aiken Promotions said: “This is an outdoor event and Ireland has its fair share of rain and cool wind, so please watch the weather forecast prior to the show day and dress accordingly. We are hoping the sun will come out for the show so if this is the case, please don’t forget your sun-cream!”

“Pairc Ui Chaoimh can get colder as the day goes on so, please dress with this in mind. An important tip – no one likes unhappy feet at a concert right!? So, make sure to wear comfy footwear to allow for lots of dancing!”

Either way, you can’t go wrong wearing your boots and cowboy hat to this one.

PARKING

Fans are encouraged to use city centre car parks or public transport as there is no parking available at the stadium.

Nearby car parks include:

Q-Park Carroll’s Quay – open 24hrsQ-Park City Hall – open 24hrsQ-Park Grand Parade – open 24hrsQ-Park St Finbarr’s – open 24hrsPaul St Car Park – open until midnightSome local GAA clubs are offering parking.

Aiken Promotions said: “You are strongly advised to arrive early and use public transport as traffic delays are inevitable.

The 202 bus service from Cork City Centre (Patrick Street) stops at Ballintemple (by the pharmacy on Blackrock Road), which is only 250 metres from the stadium.

SETLIST

If last night’s show at Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium in London is anything to go by, fans can expect a mix of Bryan’s signature ballads and sing-along hits. Setlists can change around, but here’s what he played last night:

BAG RULES

Organisers are asking fans not to bring a bag unless strictly necessary. Anyone who arrives without a bag will be fast-tracked through security. If you do need one, it must be smaller than A4 size (8.5 inches by 11 inches).

All permitted bags will be searched, which may result in longer queues, and bags bigger than A4 size won’t be allowed into the venue and cannot be left outside or stored nearby.

Zach Bryan sold out 3 nights in Phoenix Park, Dublin, last June. He comes to Cork for the first time as part of his biggest international tour yet, ‘With Heaven on Tour.’ The tour spans over 40 dates across the Europe, the UK and the US. He joins a legendary roster of acts, including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson and Prince, who have all rocked down the park.
