Grab your shorts and sunglasses, there are some must-see concerts coming to Dublin this summer!

However, you can always store your bag at an Internet cafe or in a locker at one of the locations below:
Please enter Trinity college park via Lincoln Gate and Science Gallery Gate. There will be no access via Front Archway or Nassau Street.
