Following numerous representations and submissions to the Council regarding the Marlay Park Concert Programme, an agreement has been reached between MCD Productions and the County Council for the programme for the next five years. The previous contract allowed for a maximum number of concerts of 9 per annum , up to an audience capacity of 250,000 people. The new contract now provides for a maximum number of 6 per annum , with a maximum audience capacity of 210,000 people.A consultation process with resident associations will be undertaken in January. This is the maximum number and it may be there are less concerts each year.
