How the Journey Works

Travelling to a sold-out arena show in Dublin can be one of the most stressful parts of the night, which is why booking a dedicated concert coach is such a popular option for this event. The bus to Ne-Yo & Akon at 3Arena on Thursday, 23rd April 2026 is designed specifically around the concert schedule, allowing fans to focus on the music rather than the logistics.

Our services operate from multiple regions across Ireland, including the West, Midlands, and North West areas, making it easier for fans outside the capital to attend this headline R&B show. Routes are planned with event-day traffic in mind, ensuring timely arrival at the 3Arena before doors open (depending on traffic). This gives passengers enough time to enter the venue, find their seats or standing area, and settle in before the first performance begins.

Choosing a coach eliminates the uncertainty that often comes with driving to large Dublin events. There is no need to worry about city-centre congestion, parking availability, or navigating unfamiliar roads late at night. Instead, you can relax on board, enjoy the atmosphere with fellow fans, and arrive together as part of the overall concert experience.

After the final song and encore from Ne-Yo & Akon, passengers return to the same designated collection point close to the venue. The bus departs 30 minutes after the concert ends. The return journey runs the same night, offering a smooth and reliable way home after a full evening of live music.

For anyone planning to attend this show, booking a bus to Ne-Yo & Akon at 3Arena is one of the most straightforward and predictable ways to manage concert travel. It provides peace of mind, clear timings, and a shared end-to-end experience that fits perfectly around a major arena event.

About Ne-Yo & Akon

Ne-Yo and Akon are two of the most influential artists to emerge from the R&B and hip-hop crossover era of the early 2000s, each leaving a lasting mark on global popular music. Their joint appearance at Dublin’s 3Arena on Thursday, 23rd April 2026 brings together two distinct but complementary catalogues, shaped by melody-driven songwriting, chart-dominating singles, and an era defined by radio-ready hooks.

Ne-Yo first rose to prominence as a songwriter before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist. His breakthrough came with the release of “So Sick” in 2006, a track that topped charts internationally and established his reputation for emotionally direct lyrics paired with polished production. His debut album In My Own Words was followed by a run of commercially successful releases, including Because of You and Year of the Gentleman, producing hits such as “Sexy Love,” “Closer,” and “Miss Independent.” Beyond his own recordings, Ne-Yo has written and co-written songs for some of the biggest names in pop and R&B, cementing his status as one of the genre’s most respected writers.

Akon’s rise followed a different but equally impactful path. Emerging in the mid-2000s, he quickly became known for his distinctive vocal style and global sound, blending hip-hop, R&B, and international influences. His debut album Trouble featured the breakout single “Lonely,” while later releases delivered era-defining tracks such as “Smack That,” “Don’t Matter,” and “Right Now (Na Na Na).” Akon also became a dominant presence as a featured artist, appearing on countless hits and helping shape the sound of mainstream urban pop during that period.

Together, Ne-Yo and Akon represent a catalogue built for live performance. Their shows are structured around familiarity and momentum, with audiences encouraged to sing along to songs that defined nights out, radio playlists, and festival stages for over a decade. The Nights Like This tour format allows each artist space to showcase their own material while maintaining a shared, high-energy flow across the night.
