How the Journey Works

Get ready to relive the glory days of late ‘90s pop with total convenience — thanks to our return coach service for Five’s reunion shows at Dublin’s 3Arena on 23rd November and 2nd December 2025. Irish Concert Travel removes all the typical stress from your concert night, offering fans a smooth, direct way to and from the venue from across Ireland.

We operate dedicated coaches from regional pickup points including:

• West – Galway, Oranmore, Loughrea
• Midlands – Athlone, Moate, Mullingar
• South – Limerick, Tipperary Town, Cashel
• North-West – Sligo, Carrick-on-Shannon, Longford
• South-East – Kilkenny, Carlow, Portlaoise
• North-East – Dundalk, Drogheda, Ashbourne

All coaches run direct routes with no changes or public transport connections required. Your driver will be familiar with Dublin Docklands and the 3Arena’s event-day access points along North Wall Quay. Arrival is planned to ensure you’re at the venue well before the show starts — so there’s time for merchandise, food, and soaking in the pre-concert buzz.

After the show: Your return coach will be parked at the same designated drop-off location and will depart approximately 30 minutes after the final song. That means no rushing out during the encore — just enjoy the full show and meet the coach after.

Helpful travel tips:

• Be at your pickup stop at least 10 minutes early
• Keep your ticket handy (phone screenshot or printout is fine)
• Rest stops may be included for longer routes
• Bring warm layers — November and December nights are chilly
• Ask your driver to confirm your return coach number before heading in

This service is ideal for fans travelling from smaller towns or those without reliable late-night transport options. Whether you’re coming from the West, South, or Midlands, the return bus to Five at 3Arena gets you there and back in comfort — all in one night.

Skip the hotel costs and driving headaches — book your bus to Five now and make your pop comeback night unforgettable from start to finish.

About Five

Five (also known as 5ive) burst onto the UK and Irish music scene in 1997 with a bold, energetic style that set them apart from the clean-cut boyband formula. Blending pop with R&B, hip-hop, and swaggering attitude, the group scored a series of international hits and built a massive following across Europe, Asia, and Australia. The original lineup — Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, Sean Conlon, Abz Love, and J Brown — quickly became household names with their rebellious edge and catchy hooks.

Five achieved chart domination with tracks like “Slam Dunk (Da Funk)”, “When the Lights Go Out”, and “If Ya Gettin’ Down”, selling over 20 million records worldwide and earning a BRIT Award for Best Pop Act in 2000. Their music videos, often featuring futuristic sets and choreographed fight scenes, became MTV staples, while their live shows were known for high-energy performances and crowd interaction.

Though the band originally disbanded in 2001, they returned in 2013 for ITV2’s The Big Reunion — reigniting fan demand and launching them back onto the touring circuit. In the years since, members have performed as a trio and continued to headline nostalgic pop tours across the UK and Ireland. Their 2025 3Arena dates are part of a full-scale return to headline status, with upgraded production, video backdrops, and an electrifying greatest hits setlist tailored for long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Now performing as a three-piece (Scott, Ritchie, and Sean), Five continue to celebrate their legacy with humour, authenticity, and the same no-nonsense attitude that made them global stars in the first place. Expect choreo, big harmonies, and plenty of crowd shout-alongs when they hit Dublin’s biggest stage.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• Five were created by the same team behind the Spice Girls — Simon Cowell signed them after 300 auditioned for the band
• The group once turned down a collaboration with Queen — which later became the boyband Blue’s “We Will Rock You” remake
• “Keep On Movin’” was their biggest hit, going double platinum in the UK and still used in TV and ads today
• Despite disbanding before social media, Five still have millions of monthly streams on Spotify and fan clubs worldwide
