According to a report in the Independent, on June 26, up to 3,500 people will be permitted to attend an outdoor music festival at Phoenix Park in Dublin
The news comes as part of wider government plans for pilot events next month where those attending will undertake rapid tests for Covid-19 before entering the events.
Alongside the event in Phoenix Park is an event curated by the National Concert Hall in Iveagh Gardens with a capacity of 500 attendees. Both events are part of proposals that will see further gigs go ahead if they are a success.
