How the Journey Works

Travelling on the bus to Westlife at 3Arena Dublin couldn’t be easier. Irish Concert Travel provides comfortable, modern coaches from regional hubs throughout Ireland, ensuring fans arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy the show. Passengers board from convenient points across the West, Midlands, and South — including areas such as Galway, Athlone, Roscommon and Sligo — before heading to Dublin’s North Wall Quay. Each coach is air-conditioned, seat-belted, and fitted for longer trips, ensuring a smooth and relaxed journey from start to finish.

Every route is carefully planned to minimise travel time and avoid unnecessary transfers. Experienced drivers familiar with 3Arena traffic conditions navigate through the Docklands efficiently, arriving before doors open so passengers have time to explore the area or grab a pre-show meal nearby. After the concert ends, coaches depart from the same location 30 minutes after the final encore. This ensures nobody is left behind, even after those famous last Westlife ballads and stage bows.

The 3Arena’s riverside setting makes it a standout stop for concertgoers, with panoramic night views across the River Liffey and the glow of Dublin’s skyline. Arriving by coach means no parking stress and no worries about connecting trains or last-minute taxis — just a simple, reliable, same-day return trip. The whole experience is designed to keep the focus where it belongs: on the music, the memories, and the excitement of seeing Westlife live at the 3Arena.

When booking, select your preferred pickup region, confirm your return seat, and relax knowing everything from the first mile to your return home is handled.

About Westlife

Westlife are one of Ireland’s most successful and beloved pop groups, formed in Sligo in 1998. The band originally consisted of Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, and Brian McFadden (who departed in 2004). They rose to fame with their debut single “Swear It Again”, which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and launched an unprecedented run of chart-topping success. Over their career, Westlife have achieved more than fourteen UK number one singles, including “Flying Without Wings,” “World of Our Own,” “You Raise Me Up,” and “Uptown Girl.”

Known for their signature blend of powerful harmonies, emotive ballads, and polished pop production, Westlife became a defining sound of late 1990s and early 2000s pop. Their concerts have always featured grand staging, live orchestration, and a heartfelt connection with fans. In 2012, they announced a hiatus after their “Greatest Hits” tour, but in 2018 the band reunited to launch a new era with “Hello My Love” — written by Ed Sheeran — and a sold-out reunion tour that reaffirmed their place at the top of pop’s elite.

Their performances at Dublin’s 3Arena in September 2026 continue that legacy. These concerts are part of their ongoing commitment to celebrating over two decades of hits with audiences across Ireland and beyond. Fans can expect a setlist filled with classics like “Flying Without Wings,” “When You’re Looking Like That,” and “World of Our Own,” as well as newer tracks that showcase their enduring vocal chemistry. The show promises stunning visuals, signature choreography, and soaring vocals that fill the 3Arena’s every corner.

Westlife’s shows have long been a homecoming for Irish fans — their bond with audiences here remains uniquely special. The 3Arena performances will combine nostalgia with new production design, offering long-time followers and first-time fans alike an unforgettable night of anthems and emotion. Expect arena-wide singalongs, seamless harmonies, and moments that capture why Westlife remain Ireland’s most successful pop export.
