How the Journey Works

Irish Concert Travel is built around one simple goal: help you get to major shows like History In The Making: The Concert at 3Arena without the usual hassle that comes with a busy Dublin arena night. Our coaches operate as same-day return services, collecting passengers from regional hubs across Ireland (covering multiple directions including the West, Midlands, and North West). Exact stops and pickup times are listed in the journey table, so you can choose what fits your area and plan your day with confidence.

Once you’re on board, the atmosphere becomes part of the event — playlists on headphones, group chats lighting up, and that shared “we’re nearly there” feeling you only get on a coach full of fans heading to the same show. Drivers are familiar with event-night traffic patterns in Dublin and the usual approach routes used when crowds funnel into the Docklands. 

After the show, the return plan is just as important. You’ll head back to the agreed coach meeting point, the bus departs 30 minutes after the concert ends. It’s a dependable way to turn bus to Dermot Kennedy, Noel Hogan & Mike Hogan at 3Arena into a fully-joined-up night out — travel, music, and the trip home all handled in one booking.

About Dermot Kennedy, Noel Hogan & Mike Hogan

Dermot Kennedy is a Dublin-born singer-songwriter known for a distinctive mix of acoustic songwriting, hip-hop-influenced rhythms, and a powerful, raw vocal delivery. He broke through internationally with songs including “Power Over Me” and “Outnumbered”, and his debut studio album Without Fear (2019) reached Number 1 in both Ireland and the UK. Kennedy’s live reputation has grown alongside that recorded success, with performances that often lean into emotional storytelling, big singalong choruses, and dynamic shifts between quiet moments and full-room crescendos.

Noel Hogan and Mike Hogan are best known for their work with The Cranberries, one of Ireland’s most internationally recognised rock bands. The Cranberries formed in 1989, later fronted by the late Dolores O’Riordan, and became globally known for songs that combined melodic guitars with unmistakable vocal presence. Noel Hogan is widely credited as the band’s guitarist and a key songwriter, while Mike Hogan was the band’s bassist. Their appearance on a major Dublin bill is significant in its own right, connecting this 3Arena night to an era of Irish music that travelled far beyond the island.

This matters because History In The Making: The Concert is designed as a celebration of Irish music and Hot Press’ anniversary programme — a curated arena line-up rather than a standard single-artist tour stop. With Kennedy and the Hogan brothers confirmed on the roster, the show brings together contemporary Irish chart power and a direct link to one of the country’s defining bands. For fans, that combination makes the night feel like a statement event: part tribute, part celebration, and fully built for an arena atmosphere.

And that’s exactly why travel choice plays such a big role. When you book a bus to Dermot Kennedy, Noel Hogan & Mike Hogan at 3Arena, you’re giving yourself permission to enjoy the night properly — arriving early enough to soak up the build-up, and leaving with a clear plan already in place once the last notes fade.
