Fairview Park is a green urban space on Dublin’s Northside, situated just a few minutes from the city centre. While easily accessible for locals, reaching the venue from further afield can be a challenge on busy event nights. Local buses may be packed, Dart trains can be infrequent after dark, and private car parking is severely limited near the venue. Taking a coach directly from your hometown cuts through all that uncertainty — just board, relax, and enjoy the anticipation.

All of our services are timed to suit the event schedule. Departure times from your pickup point are chosen to allow for traffic and ensure timely arrival in Dublin. The return journey begins approximately 30–40 minutes after the concert ends, giving everyone plenty of time to regroup and return to the pickup zone, which will be clearly marked and staffed for your convenience.

Travel Tips for Concert Day:

• Bring both your concert ticket and your bus e-ticket (printed or digital)
• Arrive at your pickup point at least 10–15 minutes early
• Pack a light jacket for the evening — even in summer, Dublin nights can cool quickly
• Charge your phone before travel — ideal for photos, maps, and coordinating with friends
• Keep your personal items in a small, manageable bag — avoid oversized rucksacks

Whether it’s your first time seeing The Saw Doctors or your tenth, a concert like this deserves your full attention — not the stress of navigating Dublin’s traffic or public transport. Let us handle the road so you can focus on singing along to “Clare Island,” “Red Cortina,” and the tunes that have soundtracked Irish life for generations.

About The Saw Doctors

The Saw Doctors are one of Ireland’s most beloved and enduring rock bands, known for their heartfelt lyrics, working-class humour, and unmatched ability to connect with audiences. Formed in Tuam, County Galway in 1986, the band was co-founded by Leo Moran and Davy Carton, and quickly earned a reputation for their energetic live shows and ability to capture the spirit of Irish rural life in their music.

Their songs are known for reflecting real stories — tales of emigration, school days, football, romance, and community pride. Tracks like “N17,” “Red Cortina,” “To Win Just Once,” and “I Useta Lover” (which remains one of the best-selling singles in Irish chart history) have become national anthems. Their lyrics mix nostalgia, sentimentality, and wit, offering a uniquely Irish take on rock and roll that resonates deeply with fans across the country and beyond.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, The Saw Doctors achieved widespread acclaim, touring globally and building a loyal fanbase in the UK, USA, and Australia. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and The Waterboys, played Glastonbury, and sold out countless Irish venues — always delivering high-energy performances backed by raw authenticity and charm.

Despite taking a break from recording and touring in the mid-2010s, the band made a triumphant return to live performances in 2023, thrilling fans with summer festival slots and a renewed touring schedule. Their Fairview Park gig on 28th June 2025 will be one of their biggest shows in recent years and a must-see event for fans old and new.

The band’s musical style is a fusion of rock, folk, punk, and pop, with a strong emphasis on melody and storytelling. They’ve released multiple albums, including fan favourites like If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back (1991), All The Way From Tuam (1992), and Villains? (2002). Their 2010 album The Further Adventures of… marked a successful modern revival of their sound and themes.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• “I Useta Lover” spent 9 weeks at No. 1 in Ireland and is still one of the biggest-selling Irish singles of all time.
• The band’s name is inspired by the nickname for itinerant craftsmen who repaired saws — a nod to their roots in rural Galway.
• They once played a gig on the rooftop of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.
• Many of their early recordings were made on a shoestring budget in local studios around Tuam.
• Their lyrics are often studied in Irish schools as examples of modern cultural songwriting.

With decades of anthems behind them and a reputation for unforgettable shows, The Saw Doctors remain as relevant and spirited as ever. Their performances are a celebration of Irish life, filled with laughter, reflection, and anthemic choruses. Their show at Fairview Park is sure to be one of the standout events of summer 2025 — and there’s no better way to get there than by booking your bus to The Saw Doctors at Fairview Park with Irish Concert Travel.
