How the Journey Works

Our coach travel to Charli XCX at Malahide Castle is designed to take the stress out of concert travel. We provide safe, reliable same-day return bus services from key regions including the West, Midlands, and South of Ireland. This includes popular collection points in Galway, Limerick, Athlone, Roscommon, Sligo, and more. Once you book, you’ll receive a pickup time and exact stop location for your area — no guesswork, no hassle.

Malahide Castle is located on Dublin’s north coast in the picturesque seaside town of Malahide, about 14km from Dublin City Centre. Its grounds have become one of Ireland’s premier outdoor music venues, but traffic and parking restrictions are tight on concert days. Our professional drivers are well-versed in event-day logistics and will ensure smooth arrival at designated coach drop zones well before the gates open, so you can find your spot and soak in the atmosphere.

Pickup and return made easy: Once the concert ends, you’ll return to your coach from the same drop-off point. We allow up to a 30-minute buffer after the final encore to make sure all passengers board comfortably. Whether you’re coming from Cork, Donegal, or rural Leitrim, you’ll be heading home safely without needing a second thought about overnight trains, expensive hotels, or designated drivers.

All of our buses are modern, fully licensed vehicles with trained drivers, heating, and comfortable seats. Some longer journeys may include short comfort breaks, particularly those from the West and South. There’s no need to worry about late-night transfers or public transport cutoffs.

• Be at your pickup stop 10 minutes early — buses leave promptly
• Bring ID and a screenshot or printed copy of your ticket
• Comfort stops included on routes over 2.5 hours
• Dress in layers — nights at Malahide can be breezy even in June

For those travelling from less accessible counties — such as Longford, Mayo, Clare or parts of rural Kerry — our service eliminates the multi-leg journey. No waiting for trains in Heuston Station, no dart transfers, and no worrying about how to get back from a remote venue after dark. Simply hop on, enjoy the music, and let us handle the logistics.

Local note: Malahide itself can be difficult to access on concert days due to traffic restrictions. Public parking is extremely limited and road closures are common. Choosing the bus to Charli XCX at Malahide Castle means you’ll avoid all of that — our designated coach routes and Garda-cleared drop zones make entry and exit far easier than for individual drivers.

Whether you’re coming from a large town or a rural village, our service is the most direct and stress-free way to experience Charli XCX’s electric performance at Malahide Castle on 17th June 2025. Book your coach early to avoid disappointment — especially for high-demand locations like Galway, Letterkenny, and Waterford, which tend to fill quickly.

About Charli XCX

Charli XCX (real name Charlotte Aitchison) burst onto the music scene with her breakthrough hit “Boom Clap,” which featured on the The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack. However, her earlier songwriting success included co-writing and featuring on Icona Pop’s global smash “I Love It” and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” — the latter earning her Grammy nominations. Charli quickly became a pop disruptor, known for pushing the sonic boundaries of mainstream music with a unique mix of futuristic synths, glitch-pop, and raw lyricism.

She’s celebrated for her fearless collaborations with hyperpop producers like A.G. Cook and SOPHIE, helping bring the PC Music movement into the mainstream. Albums like Charli (2019) and how i’m feeling now (2020) earned critical acclaim for their experimental yet deeply personal tone. In 2022, she returned with Crash, her most commercially successful album to date — hitting No.1 on the UK Albums Chart.

Charli XCX’s 2025 appearance at Malahide Castle is part of her latest tour supporting the album Brat, released in mid-2024. The tour has been praised for its bold visual design, minimalistic rave aesthetic, and emotionally-charged performances. The Dublin stop is her only confirmed Irish show this year, making it a major milestone for Irish fans of pop and electronic music.

Her setlists typically span her diverse catalogue — from the punky electro of “Vroom Vroom” to fan-favourites like “Unlock It” and “Beg for You.” You can also expect moments of vulnerability, as she often strips things back with acoustic renditions mid-show. Known for inclusive, high-energy crowds, Charli’s concerts offer both a dancefloor and a cathartic communal space for her dedicated fanbase — known affectionately as “Angels.”

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• In 2023, she co-wrote and performed “Speed Drive” for the Barbie movie soundtrack
• Charli created her album how i’m feeling now entirely during the COVID-19 lockdown, using only at-home equipment and Zoom collaboration
• She was signed to a major label at just 16 years old after uploading tracks to Myspace
