With around 180,000 fans expected across today, tomorrow and Sunday, this weekend is the year's biggest music event, with Zach playing to even more people than Oasis will be during their two-night stint at Croke Park.

The US country singer, known for his raw lyrics and electrifying performances, rose from posting his tracks on YouTube to topping the charts with hits like I Remember Everything, Pink Skies and Something In The Orange.

And these Phoenix Park shows mark the 29-year-old huge leap from playing smaller venues like The Helix just three years ago.

But before fans grab their cowboy boots and head for the gates, they need to think carefully about what they will bring — especially when it comes to bags.

Attendees must double-check that their bags meet the strict size requirements, while still holding all the essentials for the night.
