How the Journey Works

Irish Concert Travel is proud to offer a seamless, same-day return bus to Chris Brown at Marlay Park from towns and cities across Ireland. With years of experience transporting concertgoers to the biggest gigs in the country, we know exactly how to deliver a smooth, reliable, and fan-focused travel service that gets you to the venue on time — and home safe afterward.

Our coaches serve a wide range of locations including Cork, Limerick, Galway, Athlone, Waterford, Tullamore, Letterkenny, Sligo, Ennis, and many more. Routes are carefully scheduled so you arrive well in advance of the gates opening at Marlay Park, giving you time to find your spot, soak in the festival atmosphere, and prepare for an unforgettable evening of R&B, hip-hop, and pop.

Marlay Park, located in the leafy suburb of Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, transforms into a high-energy live venue each summer. But it’s not the easiest place to reach on a busy concert night. The venue is tucked away from major public transport lines, with limited parking and significant local traffic restrictions. Our coach services eliminate these challenges entirely — you’ll be dropped off close to the official concert entrance via the designated coach access route managed by the organisers and local authorities.

What’s Included in Your Journey:

• Same-day return bus service from your selected town or city
• Comfortable, air-conditioned coaches with reclining seats
• Pre-arranged drop-off and collection near the Marlay Park concert site
• Professional drivers with concert-day travel experience
• Scheduled comfort breaks on longer journeys
• Digital ticketing and pre-event updates direct to your inbox

Key Tips for a Great Journey:

• Arrive at your departure point at least 10–15 minutes early
• Bring a digital or printed copy of your coach ticket
• Carry light snacks and a reusable water bottle
• Dress in layers — Dublin evenings can cool quickly, even in summer
• Wear comfortable shoes, especially if walking to and from the coach drop zone

We plan our schedule to align with concert timings. Coaches depart for Dublin mid-afternoon and aim to reach Marlay Park at least 60–90 minutes before Chris Brown’s stage time. Once the concert ends, we allow a buffer of around 30 minutes before departure to give you time to exit the venue and locate your coach. The pickup location will be clearly signed, with support staff on hand to assist where needed.

Marlay Park is not serviced by the Luas or DART, and Dublin Bus services are often overcrowded and irregular post-concert. Local taxi availability is also extremely limited on big event nights, making pre-booked coach travel the most dependable and stress-free option. Plus, it’s more sustainable — travelling in groups reduces congestion and your carbon footprint.

Onboard, the excitement begins early. Many passengers play their favourite Chris Brown tracks, connect with fellow fans, and share the anticipation of what’s to come. It’s not just about getting to the gig — it’s about enhancing the entire experience.

If you’re travelling solo, with friends, or as part of a group, our coach service is designed to keep things simple, safe, and enjoyable. Our mission is to make sure the only thing you need to focus on is enjoying an epic night of music and performance from one of the most dynamic entertainers of our generation.
