Attendance figures depict total attendance during each day of the festival.

40,000 is Marlay Park's maximum capacity; therefore, the festival attendance may not increase in the future.

The 2020 and 2021 festivals were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/coronavirus-gatherings-of-over-5000-people-to-be-banned-until-september-1.4234326|title=Coronavirus: Gatherings of over 5000 people to be banned until September|last1=Kelly|first1=Fiach|last2=McGreevy|first2=Ronan|publisher=The Irish Times|language=en|access-date=2020-04-21}}{{Cite web|url=https://dlrcoco.citizenspace.com/planning/marlaypark_oel_2020/supporting_documents/Combined%20Appendices.pdf|title=Longitude Festival 2020 - Combined Appendices|website=dlrcoco.citizenspace.com}}{{Cite web|last=Colbert|first=Niall|title=The 2021 Longitude Music Festival Has Been Cancelled|url=https://www.todayfm.com/news/2021-longitude-festival-cancelled-1192489|access-date=2021-05-30|website=Today FM}}
