Dalymount to screen Ireland v Scotland and have an Italia 90 party

Sounds like fun

Eric Lalor

The home of Irish football to host a bit of a hooley on Saturday.

The nation is getting nostalgic this week with the 25 year anniversary of that magical summer when we played in our first World Cup at Italia ’90.

Dalymount Park will host a big Italia ’90 party on Saturday and also screen the huge Ireland v Scotland clash from the Aviva.

Retro and vintage attire are very much encouraged by the organisers and there will be a lot of entertainment too.

The likes of DJ Deece [Hidden Agenda], Kelly-Anne Byrne [TXFM], Bobofunk [The Building Society], Stephen Manning [Hidden Agenda], Sally Cinnamon, Sol O’Carroll [Nightflight] and White Collar Boy will all be peddling their wares.

It’s an 8 hour outdoor pitchside party and of course there’ll be a barbecue on hand to feed you. The event kicks off at 2pm and will set you back €15 through the turnstiles on the day if tickets remain.
