How the Journey Works

Your concert day should feel like part of the experience — not a separate problem to solve. With Irish Concert Travel, the goal is straightforward: a reliable return service that brings you to Dublin, drops you within the event zone, and gets you home after the show with as little hassle as possible. Our coaches collect passengers from regional hubs across Ireland (West, Midlands, and North West), helping you avoid the most expensive part of a concert night: last-minute city transport and post-gig surge pricing.

Event nights at 3Arena can create heavy traffic in and around the Docklands and along the main approaches into the city, especially close to doors. A coach plan gives you a structured arrival window so you’re not sprinting from a car park or checking maps every five minutes. The service is built around arena timing, with arrival scheduled to allow breathing room before doors (depending on traffic), so you can grab food nearby, meet friends, and head inside at your pace.

After the final encore, the return is kept simple: you go back to the same agreed meeting point, the bus departs 30 minutes after the concert ends. That means no splitting up to find a taxi rank, no searching for the right platform, and no stressing about a connection you might miss. For fans travelling a distance, a coach is often the cleanest option — one booking, one plan, one round trip — and a much easier way to enjoy a high-demand arena night in Dublin.

About The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones are one of Ireland’s longest-running folk and ballad groups, formed in 1963 and still active. The group’s name references Theobald Wolfe Tone, a key figure associated with the 1798 rebellion, and it also nods to the musical term “wolf tone.” Over the decades, The Wolfe Tones have become widely known for a repertoire that blends traditional Irish music with historical ballads and politically themed songs, delivered with a live atmosphere that leans heavily into audience participation.

In their current lineup, official band information lists Brian Warfield, Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne as the trio performing today. That continuity matters: fans often talk about Wolfe Tones shows as communal singalongs rather than conventional concerts, where the crowd becomes part of the performance — particularly in choruses that have travelled across generations. Their catalogue has also reached well beyond Ireland, with sustained touring popularity in places like the United States.

When people discuss signature songs, a few titles surface again and again. “A Nation Once Again” is frequently highlighted as a defining track, and it has been referenced as being voted the number one song of all time in a 2002 BBC World Service vote. The band are also strongly associated with “Celtic Symphony” (written as a tribute connected to the centenary of Celtic Football Club), and songs such as “Joe McDonnell”, which reflects events of the 1981 Hunger Strike. Another track, “Come Out, Ye Black and Tans”, saw renewed chart attention in 2020 amid wider public discussion and controversy, demonstrating how their music can continue to re-enter cultural conversation decades after release.

For the Dublin 3Arena dates in July 2026, official event listings show doors at 6:30pm for both nights (3rd and 4th July), and those same listings mark the shows as sold out. In practical terms, that means the crowd will be packed with committed fans who know the lyrics and come ready to sing — exactly the sort of audience that makes 3Arena nights feel loud, warm, and electric. If you’re planning to be part of it, organising your travel early is the smartest move you can make.
