Travel Made Easy: Return Bus to Oasis at Croke Park

The long-awaited Oasis reunion at Croke Park on 16th & 17th August 2025 will be one of the biggest concert weekends of the decade. Irish Concert Travel is offering direct, return coach services to help fans from across the country experience this historic moment in the easiest and most hassle-free way possible. Whether you’re coming from Cork, Limerick, Athlone, Dundalk, Kilkenny, or beyond — we’ve got your travel covered.

Each bus to Oasis at Croke Park is a same-day return service, meaning no hotel stays, late-night taxis, or missed train connections. Our coaches will bring you directly to Dublin in time for the gates to open, and return you home shortly after the concert ends. With two dates available, fans can choose which night suits them best — or go to both and double up on the nostalgia.

Coach Journey Highlights:

• Direct return coaches from cities and towns across Ireland
• Arrive at the venue with time to spare — perfect for merch and refreshments
• Designated drop-off points near Croke Park with easy walking access
• Return journey departs approx. 30–40 minutes after the final encore
• Same-day return — home before sunrise, no hotel needed

On both nights, we’ll operate multiple route options — from west coast hubs like Galway, Mayo and Clare, to east-bound routes through Wicklow, Carlow, and Wexford. All our drivers are fully event-trained, meaning they know the best city access points even during concert-day traffic diversions around Croke Park.

Pickup points are selected for ease and centrality — often near bus stations or popular landmarks with parking options nearby. Passengers receive detailed departure time emails approximately 5–7 days prior to the event, including emergency contact info, rest stop locations (if applicable), and FAQs to help prepare.

Important tips for your trip:

• Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled pickup time
• Bring your concert ticket, coach e-ticket (digital or printed), ID, and essentials
• Pack light: small bags only — no large luggage or coolers permitted
• Charge your phone in advance or bring a power bank
• Wear layers and prepare for changeable Dublin weather

This is the most anticipated concert of 2025 — with over 80,000 fans expected each night, parking and public transport will be stretched to capacity. Choosing our dedicated return coach makes your experience smoother, more enjoyable, and fully focused on what matters: singing along to “Live Forever” with tens of thousands of others under the Dublin night sky.

About Oasis

Oasis, the British rock band formed in Manchester in 1991, became one of the most influential and commercially successful acts of the 1990s and early 2000s. Founded by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis rose from gritty beginnings to global superstardom, soundtracking a generation with anthems that still resonate to this day.

Their debut album Definitely Maybe (1994) became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history at the time, followed by the era-defining (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), which featured timeless classics like “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and “Champagne Supernova.” Their music, attitude, and volatile chemistry helped define the Britpop movement and made Oasis global icons.

Though internal conflicts, particularly between Liam and Noel, were infamous, they didn’t stop the band from releasing seven studio albums, selling over 75 million records worldwide, and headlining legendary venues such as Knebworth, Wembley, and Glastonbury. Their final album Dig Out Your Soul (2008) signaled a darker, more psychedelic direction before the band split in 2009 following a backstage fight in Paris.

In the years since, both Liam and Noel pursued solo careers with great success — but fans across the world have held out hope for a reunion. Now, in 2025, that dream becomes a reality. The announcement of not one but two shows at Croke Park confirms that Oasis are back and bigger than ever, poised to reclaim their throne as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• Oasis once played two nights at Knebworth in 1996 to over 250,000 people — the largest outdoor gigs in British history at the time
• “Wonderwall” has over 1.5 billion streams on Spotify and remains a karaoke favourite worldwide
• The band’s feud inspired dozens of books, documentaries, and memes — yet they still sold out shows with ease
• Noel Gallagher wrote most of their early hits, often finishing songs in a single sitting
• Liam Gallagher’s signature stance — arms behind back, leaning into the mic — became one of rock’s most imitated styles
