How the Journey Works

For fans heading to Lorde’s landmark concert at RDS Simmonscourt on 22nd November 2025, Irish Concert Travel makes it easy to get there and back — no stress, no hassle, just smooth travel tailored for music lovers. Our same-day return coach services operate from the West and Midlands. This means wherever you’re travelling from, your route is covered with efficiency and comfort in mind.

When the concert ends, your return coach will be waiting. The coach will depart 30 minutes after the final encore, so you won’t have to rush out before the last song. You’ll travel home with fellow fans, creating a fun and safe group atmosphere, ideal for sharing stories and highlights from the show.

Helpful travel tips:

• Arrive at your chosen pickup location at least 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time
• Bring a copy or screenshot of your booking confirmation to show the driver
• Alcohol is not permitted onboard our services
• Hot Food and Hot Drinks are not permitted onboard our services
• To locate the Coach after the concert ends we recommend passengers send themselves their current whatsapp location when exiting the bus and to take the drivers number

Our services operate along the most direct routes to the concerts, and we have limited the number of collection/drop off points, with the aim of reducing the travel times to and from your favourite events.

Irish Concert Travel reserves the right to adjust travel routes as necessary to optimise efficiency and scheduling.

Unlike public transport, which may involve several changes or leave you stranded after midnight, our return service is custom-built for events like this. The RDS is a fantastic venue, but its location — just outside the city centre — can mean longer walks to public transport at night, especially once the crowds spill out. 

 For fans travelling from more remote areas or without access to late-night return options, this service removes the worry of booking hotels or catching early morning buses. You can focus entirely on the experience — the lights, the music, the shared emotion — and we’ll focus on getting you there and back safely.

This is the most convenient way to reach Lorde’s only Irish date on her Ultrasound World Tour. Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, this is your all-in-one transport solution to one of 2025’s most anticipated live shows. Don’t leave it to chance — book your bus to Lorde at RDS now
