Each bus to OneRepublic at 3Arena is a direct route — no transfers, no waiting in terminals. Our vehicles are comfortable, with reclining seats, onboard lighting, and professional drivers who know Dublin’s traffic rhythms. They’ll deliver you straight to the designated drop-off zone near 3Arena on North Wall Quay, ensuring you arrive with ample time before doors open. Once the show ends, coaches will remain parked and ready to depart after a short grace period of around 30 minutes following the final encore.

The experience is smooth and reliable — we take care of the logistics so you can focus on the music. From the buzz of your hometown pickup to the lights of Dublin’s docklands, your journey is part of the show.

Helpful travel tips for the OneRepublic concert:

• Arrive at your designated pickup stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time
• Have a copy or screenshot of your coach ticket ready — paper or digital
• Bring a valid photo ID to assist with boarding
• Layer your clothing — temperatures can drop significantly by late evening, especially in Dublin’s docklands
• For longer routes (like Cork or Sligo), comfort stops may be included mid-journey

If you’re based in a rural area or a smaller town, this service is particularly valuable — avoiding the need for expensive taxis, overnight stays, or navigating late-night train schedules. Every coach is timed for the OneRepublic concert only, so rest assured your travel aligns with the live event. Whether you’re heading from the west of Ireland or the midlands, this is your direct line to a night of world-class music at the 3Arena.

Our return bus to OneRepublic at 3Arena is popular with solo travellers, groups, and fans of all ages. It’s safe, affordable, and designed to help you make lasting memories — not travel mistakes.

About OneRepublic

OneRepublic rose to fame in 2007 with the smash hit “Apologize”, a song that became one of the most downloaded singles of all time and launched the band into global stardom. Since then, they’ve followed up with anthems like “Counting Stars”, “Secrets”, “Stop and Stare”, and “Love Runs Out”, establishing a reputation for crafting emotionally charged pop-rock tracks with sweeping melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.

The band is led by frontman and prolific songwriter Ryan Tedder, whose vocal range and songwriting skills have earned him accolades across the industry. Tedder has written and produced for global superstars like Beyoncé, Adele, and Taylor Swift, but OneRepublic remains his artistic nucleus — a space where stadium-ready hooks meet cinematic production.

This performance at Dublin’s 3Arena is part of the band’s much-anticipated 2025 world tour, which includes only a single Irish date: 18th September 2025. For Irish fans, this is a one-night-only opportunity to see OneRepublic live in Dublin’s most iconic indoor venue. The show is expected to feature a rich setlist of past hits and new material, wrapped in state-of-the-art production with custom visuals, surround-stage lighting, and moments of acoustic intimacy.

OneRepublic has played to sold-out crowds in Ireland before, including performances at the 3Arena and Marlay Park. Their return in 2025 is being hailed as a major moment for fans who have waited years for their comeback on Irish soil.
