Party in the park set to attract 100,000 people

DUBLIN’S Phoenix Park will resemble the World Cup homecoming party for the Irish soccer team this weekend when it hosts the country’s biggest-ever free pop concert.

More than 100,000 free tickets have been distributed to music fans for the O2 in the Park event on Sunday which features many of Ireland’s best-known pop and rock artists.

Over 30 acts are lined up to perform during the eight hours of music, including Mundy, Juliet Turner, The Devlins and Picturehouse.
