All you need to know for Cork's Picture This gig - tickets, stage times ...

Picture This is coming back to the Rebel County - and if you're heading to see them live on Saturday, there's plenty you should know before the big day.

Their show comes at the start of two jam-packed weeks of gigs at Musgrave Park - now known as Virgin Media Park - and features a range of big names like Sting, The Wolfe Tones and Cork's very own Cian Ducrot. It all kicks off today with a sold-out gig from Becky Hill at 5pm.

There's plenty to be excited about - but concertgoers are still being urged to plan their day out carefully as there will be a number of road closures and other measures in place around the stadium over the coming weeks.

But as always, CorkBeo has you covered with our handy 'all you need to know' guide below.

While Saturday's gig is sold out, there's still a chance for fans to get their hands on tickets. A few resales are currently available on Ticketmaster, but they're expected to go fast - so if you're still looking to nab a spot, you'd better get your skates on.

There will be a single box office/ticket collection point located at the Pearse Road entrance.

Doors open at 5pm at Virgin Media and fans are advised not to arrive early to avoid causing disruption. If patrons do arrive early, they'll be turned away at restricted area points around the event site.

Concert-goers are advised to allow plenty of time to travel to the event and pass through security checks. Attendees should also note that there are no re-admissions to the concert - so once you're inside, best not leave until the gig is over.

To avoid any major hassle, attendees are being advised to print or download their tickets before they arrive at the venue.

The concert is set to kick off at 6pm. The first band to grace the stage will be the Irish trio Amble, followed by English singer-songwriter Calum Scott. Picture This will be the final act of the day, expected to take the stage around 8.30pm.
