Fairview Park Concerts 2025 Lineup and Schedule

The 2025 series at Fairview Park spans 13 nights in June, with a lineup that moves from Welsh indie-rock to French ambient and Irish hip-hop. Here’s the confirmed schedule from Transport for Ireland and Nialler9:

Catfish and the Bottlemen on June 16

The Welsh band Catfish and the Bottlemen open the series on June 16, 2025, at 7:00 PM. Known for anthems like “Kathleen” and “Cocoon,” they’re a fitting headliner for a tent concert series that aims to draw crowds across genres. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

Air on June 17

Air brings their Moon Safari show to Dublin on June 17 at 7:00 PM. The French duo’s 1998 album remains a cult classic, and this performance should appeal to fans of atmospheric electronic music. The Shazam listing confirms the date and time.

Kneecap on June 19

Irish-language hip-hop trio Kneecap hit the tent on June 19, with support from Gurriers and Gemma Dunleavy. The Belfast group’s rise has been steady since their 2022 debut, and Fairview Park should give them a solid Dublin audience.

Mary Wallopers on June 20

The Mary Wallopers take the stage June 20 with Sexy Tahdg supporting. The Irish folk band has built a reputation for energetic live shows and singalongs, making them a natural fit for a summer outdoor series.

Kingfishr on June 21

Kingfishr performs on June 21 with Flyte and The Awning as special guests. According to setlist.fm, doors open at 6:00 PM and the show runs 9:00 PM to 10:40 PM. The Irish band has been building momentum, and this tent performance should be a highlight.

Dean Lewis on June 24

Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis appears on June 24, 2025, at 7:00 PM. His set follows The Epilogue World Tour, which has been touring since 2024. Henry Moodie supports, and according to setlist.fm data, the show runs approximately 9:00 PM to 10:20 PM.

Bottom line: MCD’s programming balance targets both nostalgic concertgoers with established acts and younger audiences discovering rising Irish talent.

How Many People Does Fairview Park Hold for a Concert?

This is one of the gaps in available information. Sources confirm that Fairview Park hosts a wide range of genres in its concert series, and the big tent setup accommodates expected large crowds. However, exact capacity figures for the tent or the venue are not listed in any verified source.

What we do know: Irish Concert Travel mentions “thousands of people are heading to gigs in a big tent in Fairview Park,” suggesting significant scale without providing specific numbers. Bandsintown confirms no age restrictions are known for the venue.

For comparison, Irish Concert Travel notes that The Saw Doctors show on June 28 is expected to draw large crowds from across Ireland, following sell-out performances in 2023 and 2024. This gives a sense of the audience size the venue can handle.

Bottom line: Without official capacity data, planners should prepare for thousands-strong crowds at peak shows like The Saw Doctors.

Are the Fairview Park Concerts in a Tent?

Yes, confirmed by multiple sources. According to Nialler9, “thousands of people are heading to gigs in a big tent in Fairview Park for 9 nights of live music.” The concert series runs from June 16 to June 28, with shows nightly in the tent structure.

This setup is typical for outdoor venues that need weather protection. The tent allows performances to continue even if Dublin’s summer weather turns rainy, which is a reasonable concern given the timing.

The catch

A tent setup means weather flexibility, but it also means you’re outdoors in Dublin in June. Layer up and check the forecast before heading to Fairview Park.

Bottom line: The tent infrastructure makes rain less disruptive, but attendees should still monitor conditions ahead of each show.

What Time is the Dean Lewis Concert at Fairview Park?

Dean Lewis performs on June 24, 2025, with gates opening at 7:00 PM and the show starting at 9:00 PM, running approximately until 10:20 PM. Henry Moodie is the supporting act.

This timing is confirmed by setlist.fm’s venue data for Fairview Park. For most other shows in the series, gates open at 7:00 PM and shows begin around 8:00 PM, so Dean Lewis follows a similar schedule despite being listed at 7:00 PM start time on some platforms.

Why this matters

The Dean Lewis show on June 24 comes midway through the series. If you’re planning to attend multiple shows, this date gives you a reference point for pacing yourself across the 13-night run.

Who is Supporting Kingfishr in Fairview?

Flyte and The Awning are the special guests for Kingfishr’s June 21 show at Fairview Park. The Irish Concert Travel listing describes them as “special guests,” indicating they’re notable additions rather than just opening acts.

Kingfishr has been climbing the Irish music scene, and the pairing with Flyte and The Awning suggests a cohesive indie-pop bill. If you’re a fan of any of these acts, the evening should have a unified sound.

What to watch

Kingfishr’s June 21 show starts at 9:00 PM (doors 6:00 PM). That’s a two-hour-plus show, so plan accordingly if you’re catching earlier acts or arriving late.

What People Are Saying

“The Saw Doctors return to the Dublin live circuit with a headline show at Fairview Park on 28th June 2025, promising a night of singalongs, stories, and celebration of their legendary Galway roots.”

— Irish Concert Travel (Event Organizer)

“Thousands of people are heading to gigs in a big tent in Fairview Park for 9 nights of live music including Kneecap, Basement Jaxx, The Mary Wallopers, Air and more.”

— Nialler9 (Music Blog)

The sentiment from both Irish Concert Travel and music blogs points to strong regional interest, especially for the Saw Doctors show. Bus services from rural towns like Donegal, Sligo, and Galway are selling out, indicating demand from outside Dublin.

The pattern

The series mixes established acts like The Saw Doctors (with sell-out history in 2023–2024) with rising acts like Kingfishr. This balance suggests the programming targets both nostalgic concertgoers and younger audiences discovering Irish music.

Bottom line: Irish Concert Travel’s sell-out bus services from rural Ireland confirm strong regional demand beyond Dublin.

Getting There and Getting Tickets

Fairview Park is located at Fairview Road, Dublin, D03 XF90, Ireland. The venue is accessible via Luas and Dublin Bus, with Transport for Ireland providing updates closer to the dates.

For The Saw Doctors on June 28, Irish Concert Travel organizes bus services from multiple Irish towns. Prices range from €35–€45 depending on departure location. Some pickups are already sold out (Donegal Town, Ballyshannon, Cavan), so book early if you’re traveling from outside Dublin.

Post-concert buses depart 30 minutes after the show ends. If you have trouble finding your coach afterward, contact 0862364040.

The trade-off

Booking bus transport adds cost and coordination, but it’s often the easiest way home if you’re traveling from Galway, Donegal, or Sligo after a late show. Factor in the 30-minute post-show buffer when planning your night.

For Dublin-based attendees or those driving, Transport for Ireland’s updates should clarify Luas and bus routing closer to the dates. Check transportforireland.ie for the latest before heading out.

MCD urges early ticket booking for priority shows, and Irish Concert Travel warns that rural bus services are filling fast for The Saw Doctors finale.
