How the Journey Works

Our concert coaches serve fans travelling to Mumford & Sons at Malahide Castle from across Ireland — including key towns and cities like Galway, Limerick, Athlone, Sligo, Kilkenny, and more. Designed for convenience, every route is direct, with no need to change buses or navigate local transport systems. Each coach arrives at the designated drop-off point near Malahide Castle with ample time before the first support act begins.

Malahide Castle, situated just 13km north of Dublin city centre, is renowned for hosting some of Ireland’s most scenic and memorable outdoor gigs. On concert days, traffic can build up fast around Malahide Village and the coastal roads from Portmarnock and Swords — and public parking near the castle is extremely limited. That’s why our direct bus service is the smartest option, whether you’re coming from the West, Midlands, or South.

Following the concert, our return coaches depart from the same drop-off area approximately 30 minutes after the final encore — giving you time to exit the grounds, grab a snack, and settle in for a comfortable journey home.

Helpful travel tips:

  • Be at your chosen pick-up point at least 10 minutes before departure
  • Have your bus ticket ready on your phone or printed
  • Expect varied weather — pack layers and a light rain jacket
  • Comfort stops may be scheduled for longer routes

By choosing Irish Concert Travel, you avoid the post-concert taxi queues, surge prices, and delayed rail connections. Our Malahide-bound coaches are a social, reliable and stress-free way to get to the show and back, with peace of mind and a great atmosphere onboard.

Whether you’re travelling solo or in a group, our service is designed to make your concert day flow smoothly — so you can focus on the music, the crowd, and those moments of magic that only a Mumford & Sons live performance can deliver.

About Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons emerged from the British folk-rock revival in the late 2000s and quickly became one of the most globally successful bands of their generation. With their trademark blend of banjo-driven ballads, anthemic choruses, and poetic lyrics, the band’s breakout album Sigh No More (2009) introduced hits like “Little Lion Man” and “The Cave,” capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Their follow-up, Babel (2012), won the Grammy for Album of the Year and featured the iconic single “I Will Wait.”

Over the years, Mumford & Sons have evolved beyond their folk roots, incorporating electric guitar, synth textures, and expansive production in albums like Wilder Mind and Delta. Their live performances are renowned for emotional energy, crowd engagement, and powerful visual staging — from festival mainstages like Glastonbury to intimate theatre tours.

Their 2025 Malahide Castle appearance comes during a year that celebrates more than 15 years of musical milestones. With new material expected and a career-spanning setlist, fans can anticipate both fresh sounds and nostalgia-laced favourites in a beautiful open-air setting.

From introspective ballads to stadium-shaking anthems, Mumford & Sons have earned their place among the defining acts of modern British music. Their concerts are more than performances — they’re communal experiences where every lyric and drumbeat resonates across generations.
