A music festival is set to take place in the Phoenix Park on 26 June where between 3,500 to 5,000 people might be able to attend.

It is part of the so-called test entertainment events being organised by the Department of Arts, Tourism, Culture and Arts following today's decision to further reopen society.

Another music event is planned for the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin earlier in June, with James Vincent McMorrow as the headline act.

During June and July, there are also concerts set to take place at the INEC in Killarney, the Róisín Dubh in Galway, the Cork Opera House, along with a comedy event in Vicar Street.

It is also understood that guidelines that prohibited live music at pubs and restaurants this summer will now be reviewed.

The Cabinet today approved several measures that will allow for a further reopening of society and economy during June, July and August.
