Oasis at Croke Park: Your Ultimate Pre-Gig Destination at Molloy’s Pub Dublin
The rumours were true. Oasis are reuniting and taking over Croke Park for one of the most iconic live shows Dublin has seen in years. Whether you’ve followed them since Definitely Maybe, or you’re just there to belt out Don’t Look Back in Anger with 80,000 fellow fans.
But before you head to the stadium, there’s only one place you need to be: Molloy’s Pub Dublin.
Located just a short walk from Croke Park, Molloy’s is the go-to spot for pre-gig drinks, live music, and that unmistakable buzz you only find in a Dublin pub on gig day. Here’s why Oasis fans are making Molloy’s their first stop.
Pre-Gig Live Music to Get You in the Mood
You’re not just heading to a concert—you’re heading to an event. And we’re setting the scene with live music right before the gig. Expect high-energy sets from local musicians playing everything from Britpop anthems to rock’n’roll staples. It’s the perfect way to warm up your vocal cords before joining thousands of fans singing Champagne Supernovain the stands.
Live music will kick off at 14:30, giving you time to soak up the atmosphere, grab a few pints, and maybe even make some new gig-going mates.
Saturday, 16 August at 14:30
Lee O’Donovan – Expect bangers, ballads, and maybe a few Oasis deep cuts.
Sunday, 17 August at 14:30
Ken Jones – Bringing Britpop energy to get you in that “Live Forever” mood.
Come for the Music, Stay for the Craic
At Molloy’s, it’s all about good vibes, cold drinks, and great company. We don’t serve food, but we pour a damn good pint—from Guinness to local craft beers, classic lagers, and your favourite spirits and mixers.
There’s no cover charge for our live music, and we’re fully stocked and ready to go from early doors—7am on Saturday and 12pm on Sunday. So whether you're the type who likes to start the party early or you’re just popping in before doors open at Croke Park, we’ve got you sorted.
Minutes from Croke Park – No Taxi Needed
One of the biggest perks of Molloy’s? We’re practically neighbours with Croke Park.
That means no crammed DART rides, no long walks, and no missing the opening song. Just finish your pint, follow the sea of bucket hats and parkas, and you’ll be at the stadium gates in under 20 minutes. It doesn’t get easier than that.
Back to Ours After the Final Encore
Just because the stage lights go down doesn’t mean your night has to end. After Oasis leaves the stage, head back to Molloy’s to keep the party going. We’ll still be spinning tunes, pulling pints, and serving up that unmistakable post-gig buzz. Whether you're riding the high of Live Forever or dissecting Liam’s latest banter, we’re the spot to finish what will be a legendary night.
