With an expected 20,000 plus attendance for the return of the music festival to The Cathedral Town,  Gardai have announced that there will be three primary routes to the event, which have been colour coded.

The purple route will cater for local vehicular traffic via R660

Emergency Routes:

Emergency routes will be maintained for all emergency services. They will be designated as a yellow route.

All routes to and from the concert venue and car parks will be clearly signposted – the organisers in conjunction with An Garda Siochana will ensure adequate signage is in place the day before the event to help ease traffic flow and for information of patrons attending the event and more especially as patrons leave the event to return to their vehicles.

Gardai are advising concert goers to secure and lock their vehicles, leave no valuables on display. Please park in supervised car parks.

Patrons should note that the National Ploughing Championships are taking place in Tullamore on Friday the 21st of September 2018 and there will be extra traffic returning from here through Thurles town at the same time as concert goers are arriving.
