What Date is Oasis Playing in Dublin?

Oasis played two nights at Croke Park on August 16 and August 17, 2025 (Transport for Ireland). These were the only Irish dates on the Live ’25 Tour, their first reunion shows since the band split in 2009.

Saturday, August 16, 2025

The first of the two Dublin concerts, gates opened at 4:30 PM on Saturday August 16 per Transport for Ireland’s official event guidance. The show itself got underway at 8:15 PM, according to Setlist.fm’s record of that night’s performance.

Sunday, August 17, 2025

Doors opened slightly later on Sunday August 17 at 4:40 PM, also per Transport for Ireland. This was the final Dublin show and drew the same attendance capacity as the night before.

Bottom line: Two nights at Croke Park, August 16 and 17, 2025. Saturday’s doors opened 10 minutes earlier than Sunday’s, but both shows drew the same crowd size.

What Time is Oasis Playing at Croke Park?

Croke Park’s official public information notice stated that gates open at 5:00 PM and the show starts at 6:00 PM for both dates (Croke Park). However, Setlist.fm recorded the actual on-stage time on August 16 as 8:15 PM — a significant gap between the venue’s opening bell and when Noel and Liam actually hit the stage.

Doors open time

Entry times varied by day: 4:30 PM on Saturday and 4:40 PM on Sunday, according to Transport for Ireland. These are the times the venue began letting people through the turnstiles.

Show start time

The gap between gates opening and the band starting meant fans had roughly three to three-and-a-half hours of waiting time. MCD Production’s public information notice for the event confirmed the 5:00 PM gates and 6:00 PM show-start schedule on paper.

Expected stage time

Based on the August 16 record, fans could reasonably expect the band to be on stage around 8:00–8:30 PM, with the show running roughly two hours. Support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft would have played earlier in the evening.

Why this matters

There’s a 2-hour-plus gap between when Croke Park says the show starts (6:00 PM) and when Oasis actually came on stage (8:15 PM on August 16). Arriving at 5:00 PM means a long wait — factor in food, drinks, and crowd movement if you’re planning to be in your seat early.

Is Oasis at Croke Park Sold Out?

Both Dublin shows sold out on August 31, 2024, just days after tickets went on sale, as reported by Wikipedia citing NME. The demand was so intense that Ticketmaster’s website reportedly crashed during the initial sales window.

Ticket availability

Standard primary-market tickets have been unavailable since late August 2024. The only legitimate path to seats now is through Twickets, the venue’s official resale partner, which enforces face-value pricing.

Resale options

Secondary market platforms list August 17 tickets in the £564 to £1,297 range, according to Ticketgum. These prices are well above face value, and buyers should verify authenticity before purchasing.

Bottom line: Both shows sold out over a year in advance. If you didn’t secure tickets through the primary sale, Twickets is the only venue-endorsed resale option — avoid overpaying on unverified secondary platforms.

How Much are Oasis Tickets for Dublin?

Specific face-value pricing from the primary sale was not published in the official sources available for this article. What is confirmed is that both shows were sold out by August 31, 2024, making any ticket a sought-after commodity.

Price ranges

August 17 resale tickets on Ticketgum were listed from £564 to £1,297 (Ticketgum). These figures reflect what sellers were asking on the secondary market, not official pricing.

Where to buy

The official resale partner is Twickets, confirmed by Croke Park’s own event PDF. Ticketmaster and Cassidy Travel also sold official packages, though seating and standing options for August 16 were sold out through those channels.

What to watch

Maximum 4 tickets per booking applied to official packages sold through Cassidy Travel. If you’re hunting resale, stick to Twickets — unofficial platforms carry higher fraud risk, and screenshots of tickets are invalid due to live barcode requirements.

Who is Supporting Oasis in Dublin?

Cast and Richard Ashcroft were the support acts for both Dublin shows, according to Wikipedia. A YouTube video also documented Richard Ashcroft’s appearance on August 17, corroborating the lineup.

Support acts announced

Cast, the Britpop-era band fronted by John Power, opened for Oasis across both nights. Richard Ashcroft, formerly of The Verve, joined as the second support act — a pairing that gave Dublin fans nearly three hours of live music before the main event.

The upshot

The support lineup wasn’t an afterthought — Cast and Richard Ashcroft brought their own back catalogs, making the evening a Britpop-heavy doubleheader. Arriving on time for supports was worth it if you wanted the full experience.

Getting to Croke Park

Transport for Ireland published color-coded entry routes tied to specific ticket stands, and Croke Park’s official notice emphasized that no queuing or camping was permitted. Traffic cordons were put in place two hours before the event.

Gate / Route Access Point Stand
Blue Route Jones’ Road / Russell Street Hogan Stand
Red Route St James’ Avenue off Clonliffe Road Cusack Stand
Yellow Route St Margaret’s Avenue Davin Stand
Green Route Foster Terrace Standing

Extra DART and Commuter trains ran on the Maynooth line for both dates, and Croke Park is a 16-minute walk from Connolly Station on the Red Line Luas. No parking was available at the venue unless arranged in advance.

The venue’s walkability from public transit hubs makes it practical for concert-goers familiar with Dublin transit patterns.

Bottom line: Croke Park is well-served by public transit — DART and Luas Red Line from Connolly Station are your best bet. Driving is not practical given the traffic cordons and lack of parking. Follow your ticket’s color-coded gate route to avoid bottlenecks at entry.

Attendance and Setlist

Each Croke Park show drew approximately 160,000 attendees, per Wikipedia. That’s a capacity that puts these nights in the top tier of Irish concert history.

The August 16 setlist, recorded by Setlist.fm, included Wonderwall and ran roughly two hours. The Wonderwall performance from the tour was later released as a single on September 4, 2025. August 17’s full setlist was not available in the verified sources at time of writing.

The scale of 160,000 fans per night ranks among the highest-capacity outdoor events in Ireland, comparable only to the largest stadium events in recent decades.

The trade-off

A 160,000-person crowd means Croke Park was essentially at full capacity. That scale creates an unforgettable atmosphere but also means logistics are unforgiving — tight gate routes, strict traffic cordons, and no on-site queuing meant fans had to arrive smart and follow the official guidance closely.

Summary

Oasis played two sold-out nights at Croke Park on August 16 and 17, 2025, drawing approximately 160,000 fans per show to what became the biggest Irish concert event in recent memory. Gates opened at 5:00 PM on both nights, with the band hitting the stage closer to 8:00 PM — a gap of several hours that required patience from the crowd. Support from Cast and Richard Ashcroft added to the evening’s value.

Getting there by public transit was the only practical choice given the strict traffic controls and zero on-site parking.
