Getting to Slane Castle for Oasis

Most fans reach Slane Castle on official shuttle buses from Dublin city centre and nearby towns, booked in advance. Driving is possible with pre-booked parking, but expect long queues on the N2 and N51. There is no train station in Slane.

  1. Official shuttle busesRecommended

    Coach operators run return shuttles from Dublin city centre and towns across Ireland directly to the site. Book in advance; this is the easiest way in and out.

  2. Drive and pre-booked parking

    Official car parks are set up around the estate and must be booked in advance. Traffic on the approach roads builds for hours before the gates open.

  3. Train to Drogheda, then shuttle

    Irish Rail trains from Dublin Connolly reach Drogheda in about 40 minutes. Shuttle buses or taxis cover the remaining 14 km to Slane.

  4. Walk from Slane village

    If you're staying in or near the village, it is a short walk to the site entrances. Roads into Slane are closed to traffic on concert days.

Flying in: Dublin Airport (DUB)

Dublin Airport is about 40 km from Slane Castle. Take a bus or taxi into Dublin city centre and join an official shuttle to Slane, or hire a car and use pre-booked parking. Allow plenty of time on show day.

Driving and parking

Roads into Slane close to general traffic on concert days and only pre-booked parking is accessible. Expect long queues leaving the car parks after the show.

Getting home after the show

Shuttle buses leave from the pick-up area once the show finishes; head straight there. Car parks can take a long time to empty, so pack snacks and water for the wait.
