Bad news if you wanted to sneak in some nitrous oxide.
If you’re anything like us, you’re absolutely buzzing for Longitude 2018.
The line-up is great. It’s refreshing, and not like any other festival that’s taken place in Ireland in recent years.
There’s also a whole host of excellent homegrown talent, and we have made it easy for you by outlining exactly which Irish acts you should see in Marlay Park.
But it’s not just the Irish that are being represented. Some of the biggest names in the music industry will be in attendance, so we’ve also compiled a list of the must-see artists performing this weekend.

So if you try to sneak in a Chinese lantern and you get caught, don’t come crying to us…
You’ve been warned.
