National Stadium Dublin Bag Policy

So, you’ve scored tickets to the big gig at the National Stadium in Dublin. You’re already planning your outfit, your pre-show pint, and that perfect Instagram shot. But hold up—before you throw your favorite oversized tote over your shoulder, let’s talk about the bag policy. Yes, it’s a thing. And yes, it’s strict.

First things first: small bags only. We’re talking A4-sized or smaller—think a clutch, a tiny crossbody, or that cute little backpack you bought in Florence and never use. Anything bigger than 30cm x 20cm? Nope. You’ll be sent back to the queue or forced to use their bag drop (which, let’s be honest, is about as fun as a root canal). So, channel your inner Marie Kondo and pack light. Leave the kitchen sink at home.

What about clear bags? They’re not required, but they’ll speed you through security like a VIP. Oh, and no backpacks over that size—even if it’s designer. The security lads don’t care if it’s a Gucci. They’ll just say, “Sorry, love, no dice.”

Pro tip: Bring a small crossbody and stash your phone, earplugs (because you will lose your voice), and a credit card. Leave the massive camera—your phone’s camera is fine, and you’re not Getty Images. Joking… mostly.

So, as you’re humming the opening chords and mentally preparing for the crowd, remember: small bag, big vibes. The policy isn’t there to ruin your night—it’s there to keep you safe and get everyone inside faster. And hey, fewer things to carry means more room for dancing. So grab your tiniest bag, your best mates, and get ready for a night that’ll leave you glowing. Because at the end of the day, the only thing you really need to bring is your joy. See you at the barrier!
