How the Journey Works

Traveling to Belfast for a world-class concert has never been more convenient. Our dedicated bus to Alanis Morissette at Ormeau Park service is designed for comfort, safety, and simplicity — whether you’re coming from Connacht, the Midlands, Munster, or along the northern corridor. We serve music fans from towns and cities like Galway, Castlebar, Roscommon, Athlone, Tullamore, Ennis, Limerick, Tralee, and Sligo, ensuring comprehensive nationwide coverage.

Each coach route is carefully planned to avoid unnecessary transfers or layovers. You board once in your pickup town and travel directly to Ormeau Park in central Belfast. Located just south of the River Lagan and minutes from Queen’s University and the Botanic area, the park is easily accessible via the main arterial routes of the A24 and Ormeau Road, which our drivers know intimately. Expect to arrive well before the gates open, with time to explore the grounds or grab a bite before the music begins.

The return journey is just as seamless. Our coaches depart from the designated coach park adjacent to the venue, giving you a short walk back after the show. There’s no need to rush — we wait up to 30 minutes after the final encore to ensure every passenger is accounted for. You’ll be back in your home county in comfort, skipping the stress of nighttime driving or late train changes.

Key travel features:

• Dedicated same-day return bus service from major Irish towns and cities
• Direct access to the concert site with no local transfers or stops
• Guaranteed seating, with climate-controlled coaches and experienced drivers
• Departure from the venue approximately 30 minutes after the show ends

Helpful travel tips:

• Arrive at your pickup location 10–15 minutes early to allow for check-in
• Bring a printed or digital version of your ticket for scanning
• Comfort breaks are included on longer routes — usually 5–10 minutes at service stops
• Dress in layers — outdoor concerts can shift from warm to chilly quickly

Ormeau Park concerts, especially those as anticipated as Alanis Morissette, create a buzz throughout Belfast. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, the venue lies just southeast of the city centre, bordered by Ormeau Golf Club and the Ravenhill rugby grounds. While local public transport exists, it becomes congested during large events. Our buses bypass this by using coach-specific drop-off points designated by Belsonic event organisers — ensuring you’re at the gates in comfort, not scrambling for a taxi or wandering unfamiliar roads.

Travelling from more rural counties? This service is your most reliable and stress-free route. Our pickup network connects smaller towns via regional link coaches to major city departure points. That means you can start your journey from Ballinasloe, Nenagh, or even Boyle and connect to the main bus at Athlone or Limerick — all under one booking.

Irish Concert Travel’s mission is simple: let you focus on the music, not the logistics. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Alanis or treating someone to a nostalgic night out, our bus to Alanis Morissette at Ormeau Park helps make it all happen, hassle-free. Secure your seats early to avoid disappointment — Belfast will be buzzing on June 30th, and you’ll want front-row ease from start to finish.

About Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette first skyrocketed to international fame with the release of her groundbreaking 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, led by the hit single “You Oughta Know.” Known for her fearless lyrics and emotionally raw delivery, she reshaped alternative rock in the 1990s and became a voice for a generation navigating heartache, anger, empowerment, and healing. Her sound — a fusion of post-grunge, pop-rock, and introspective alt-rock balladry — continues to influence artists decades later.

Following her breakout, Alanis followed up with multi-platinum albums like Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept, and Flavors of Entanglement. Each work reflected a different phase of personal growth and musical experimentation. Her 2020 release, Such Pretty Forks in the Road, marked her first album in eight years and drew critical acclaim for its intimate, piano-led compositions and mature, emotionally evolved lyricism.

Her upcoming show at Ormeau Park in Belfast is part of the extended Jagged Little Pill Anniversary Tour, celebrating nearly 30 years since the album’s release — an album that won five Grammy Awards, spent over a year in the Billboard 200, and sold more than 33 million copies worldwide. For Irish fans, this show is a rare chance to witness Alanis’s live presence in a stunning open-air setting. Her previous shows in Ireland, including headline gigs at Dublin’s 3Arena and Cork’s Live at the Marquee, sold out rapidly — a testament to her enduring popularity on this side of the Atlantic.

In Belfast, fans can expect a dynamic performance filled with emotional highs and contemplative moments. The setlist is expected to include the entirety of Jagged Little Pill alongside fan favourites like “Thank U”, “Uninvited”, and “Hands Clean”. Backed by a seasoned band, the production includes high-resolution visual storytelling, atmospheric lighting, and an organic, live-instrument focus that prioritises authenticity over over-the-top spectacle. Alanis’s warm connection with the audience and frequent storytelling between songs add a unique and personal layer to each performance.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• Alanis Morissette has sold over 75 million records globally, making her one of the best-selling female artists of all time.
• Her hit song “Uninvited” was featured on the soundtrack of the film City of Angels and won two Grammy Awards.
• She made a memorable guest appearance on the TV show Weeds and had a recurring role on Nip/Tuck.
• Alanis became a dual citizen of Canada and the United States in 2005 and is also an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness and women’s rights.

Whether you’re a longtime fan revisiting the era-defining sound of the 90s or discovering Alanis’s catalogue for the first time, this concert is a musical milestone. With a thoughtfully curated set and a backdrop as iconic as Ormeau Park, this performance promises a deep and unforgettable experience.
