Don't drive as there will be ‘no parking available for the public’ at or in the vicinity of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Cars will be clamped or removed if parked in the vicinity.
As the festival is well serviced by Dublin Bus, Luas and Irish rail public transport is the best way to get to and from the event.

Road Closures after Event:
From approx 10.30pm on both 31st May and 1st June 2014 the following road closures will come into place for the purpose of crowd safety in terms of patrons leaving the RHK concert event.
• St John’s Road West (Outbound) will be closed for all traffic including taxi’s and public transport vehicles, and will divert all traffic onto Heuston Bridge towards Parkgate Street and Conyngham Road. Barriers will be put in place along the central median of St Johns Road West to prevent pedestrian access across inbound carriageway other than at junction of Military Road, which will be controlled by Gardai to permit passage of traffic inbound when necessary.
• Bow Lane West will be closed to all outbound traffic from James Street including taxis and all traffic will be diverted outbound along James Street. This will effectively prevent taxi issues arising within the cordon while patrons are leaving the area.
• South Circular Road (Outbound) will be closed temporarily at junction with Emmet Road, and traffic diverted left onto Emmet Road or right onto Old Kilmainham for duration of closure. Traffic inbound along Emmet Road will not be allowed turn left onto South Circular Road, but diverted inbound towards City Centre.
