Beyonce in Dublin - all you need to know

FANS heading to see Beyonce in Dublin this weekend have been warned not to bring their iPads.

The American singer will perform at Croke Park on Saturday as part of her Formation tour and told fans that the digital devices are banned.

Around 75,000 people are expected to pack into the venue and the show is so large that the capacity has been reduced from 82,500 to allow for the size of the stage, which is being brought to Dublin in 100 trucks.

The award-winning singer is expected to take to the stage around 8.15pm and perform for around two hours.
