The 3Arena has issued new stricter security measures for tomorrow night's Shawn Mendes show.
Following the attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester last week, the Dublin venue issued a new set of security policies this afternoon.
They include:-
• Backpacks, larger purses or bags are not allowed; only purses or clutches measuring 4.5in/11.4cm x 6.5in/16.51cm or smaller will be allowed.
• A full body pat down search and/or metal detector search will take place prior to venue entry.
• Pocket contents will need to be completely emptied and viewed during the search process.
• We encourage patrons to minimize jackets and additional layers when possible.
Because of these new security measures, concert-goers are being encouraged to arrive early for the gig as it is expected to take longer to gain entry.
It's not clear at this stage whether these new security measures will be implemented permanently at the Dublin venue.
