How the Journey Works

Irish Concert Travel makes it easy for fans to experience one of the summer’s most anticipated outdoor gigs with a direct bus to Alanis Morissette at Malahide Castle. Whether you’re coming from the West, Midlands, South, or North of Ireland, our comfortable coaches provide safe, same-day return travel straight to the venue’s doorstep.

Our service includes dedicated routes from major towns such as Galway, Limerick, Cork, Sligo, Athlone, and more. We also link rural counties via regional stops in places like Tullamore, Ennis, and Castlebar. Each route has been carefully timed so that all passengers arrive well before gates open, giving plenty of time to explore the parklands of Malahide Castle and settle in for the show.

Malahide Castle is located just north of Dublin city, a coastal gem in the heart of Fingal. The castle grounds serve as one of Ireland’s most picturesque concert venues, surrounded by trees, historic buildings, and open green lawns. It’s beautiful — but not always easy to access during major events due to limited local parking, congested suburban roads, and packed DART lines. Our coaches bypass all of that, using pre-approved event routes and drop-off points arranged with local authorities and promoters.

Key Journey Features:

• Same-day return service from nationwide locations
• Direct, uninterrupted travel to Malahide Castle with no public transport transfers
• Arrival before gates open and departure approximately 30 minutes after final encore
• Professional, experienced drivers familiar with concert-day logistics

What to bring:

• Digital or printed ticket for your coach journey
• Light snacks and water for the trip
• Layered clothing and a rain jacket (it’s still Ireland!)
• ID for age verification if requested by staff

Coaches are fitted with reclining seats, overhead storage, and air conditioning. On longer routes like Cork or Sligo, scheduled comfort breaks are included at motorway rest points for your convenience. All services are return — you’ll travel home the same night from the same drop-off point near the main venue gates.

For those unfamiliar with Malahide, it’s located 16km northeast of Dublin City and is served by narrow residential roads, making car traffic particularly challenging during concerts. Public transport options such as the DART are available but can become overcrowded, with long queues and delays. Choosing the coach gives you a guaranteed seat, direct access, and peace of mind — especially for late-night travel when local options are limited.

Many past customers have described their coach journey as part of the concert experience — chatting with fellow fans, sharing playlists, and building anticipation together. On the way home, there’s nothing like relaxing in your seat while the crowd disperses and the concert buzz lingers in the air.

Our goal is to make sure you enjoy the night from the very first mile. Irish Concert Travel’s bus to Alanis Morissette at Malahide Castle is your most reliable, safe, and enjoyable way to get to and from this incredible live event.

About Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette is one of the most influential and best-selling female artists in modern rock history. Rising to global fame in 1995 with her breakthrough album Jagged Little Pill, Alanis redefined the alternative music scene with her confessional, unfiltered lyrics and emotionally powerful vocals. Tracks like “You Oughta Know,” “Ironic,” “All I Really Want,” and “Hand in My Pocket” became instant classics — emotionally charged anthems for a generation.

Jagged Little Pill has sold over 33 million copies worldwide, won five Grammy Awards, and was adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Its themes of heartbreak, identity, empowerment, and raw vulnerability still resonate today. But Alanis’s career didn’t stop there — she continued releasing critically acclaimed albums such as Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept, Flavors of Entanglement, and Havoc and Bright Lights. Her 2020 album, Such Pretty Forks in the Road, marked a mature, introspective return to form and showcased her growth as both an artist and a person.

Known for her deeply personal songwriting, Alanis explores themes like motherhood, anxiety, healing, and spirituality. Her live shows are as dynamic and genuine as her albums — seamlessly shifting from full-band alt-rock moments to stripped-back acoustic sets that highlight her emotive storytelling. Irish fans know her well, having sold out previous performances at the 3Arena and Cork’s Live at the Marquee. This return to Dublin for a very special open-air show at Malahide Castle promises an entirely different atmosphere — relaxed, expansive, and emotionally immersive.

The concert is part of her world tour celebrating the enduring legacy of Jagged Little Pill. Fans can expect to hear nearly the entire album performed live, along with a curated mix of newer material and lesser-known fan favourites. Alanis is also known for delivering spontaneous moments — heartfelt monologues, tributes, and unexpected setlist switches that keep every show unique.

For those attending on 29th June 2025, the experience will be set against the magical surroundings of Malahide Castle — a venue steeped in history and nature. Alanis’s voice, echoing across those historic grounds, is sure to create a one-of-a-kind memory for thousands of fans lucky enough to be there.
