How the Journey Works

Our coach services for the bus to Peter Kay at 3Arena are tailored to fans travelling from every corner of the country — particularly those coming from the West, Midlands, North-West, and South. Pick-up hubs include major towns such as Galway, Sligo, Athlone, Mullingar, Portlaoise, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford. These regional routes are designed to provide easy access for rural and suburban areas that are not served well by late-night rail or require costly hotel stays when attending Dublin events.

All coach routes are direct with no transfers, and timings are coordinated to get you to the 3Arena well before the doors open. Coaches will drop off near the designated coach parking zones on North Wall Quay, within walking distance of the main arena entrance. Our drivers are experienced in navigating event-day traffic around the Point Village area and will follow real-time updates for congestion avoidance and swift drop-offs.

Once Peter Kay has delivered the final punchline and taken his last bow, passengers will return from the same designated pick-up point. There is a 30-minute window after the encore to allow everyone time to exit the venue and get comfortably back on board. No need to scramble for taxis or wait for crowded LUAS trams — your seat is secured, your route is clear, and your journey is sorted.

Helpful travel tips for those taking the bus to Peter Kay at 3Arena:

• Arrive at your pickup point at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure
• Have your booking confirmation (printed or digital) and a valid photo ID ready
• Pack layered clothing — Dublin Bay breezes and late-night returns can be chilly, even in July
• Comfort stops are built into longer routes like Cork and Donegal — so relax, you won’t be stuck without a break
• Charging ports and reading lights available on most modern coaches, but bring your own power bank as a backup

For rural attendees — especially from counties like Roscommon, Mayo, Clare, Kerry, and Donegal — this bus service removes all the friction of getting to and from the capital. Forget the maze of train connections, parking fees at Park & Ride stations, or navigating Dublin’s inner city after dark. Everything is organised in advance, and our priority is getting you there on time and back home safely.

Coach travel to 3Arena from regional towns is one of the best-value and most reliable ways to attend high-demand events like this. You’re not just buying a bus seat — you’re securing peace of mind, efficient logistics, and the chance to share the journey with fellow comedy fans. Whether it’s your first time seeing Peter Kay or you’re reliving past memories, we’ve got your trip covered from doorstep to encore.

About Peter Kay

Peter Kay is a name synonymous with British comedy. Hailing from Bolton, Greater Manchester, he rose to prominence in the early 2000s with his award-winning mockumentary sitcom Phoenix Nights and the stand-up special Live at the Top of the Tower. His observational humour, sharp delivery, and endearing characters quickly won him fans across Ireland and the UK. With record-breaking tours, including the Guinness World Record-holding “The Tour That Doesn’t Tour Tour…Now On Tour,” Kay became one of the most successful stand-up comedians in history.

His return to live comedy with his current tour marks a highly anticipated comeback after a hiatus of several years. The shows at the 3Arena in July 2025 form part of this major tour and will be his only scheduled Irish dates that summer. Known for his nostalgic routines — from misheard song lyrics to family weddings and school trips — Kay’s humour strikes a deeply relatable chord with audiences of all ages.

What makes Peter Kay’s live shows truly memorable isn’t just the laughter, but the atmosphere he creates. Fans can expect a classic stage setup, clear visuals, and razor-sharp delivery of beloved jokes — alongside new material crafted for this tour. While he doesn’t rely on elaborate visual effects or musical interludes, the magic lies in his timing, facial expressions, and the ability to connect with everyday experiences we’ve all shared.

This run of shows at the 3Arena will celebrate his career highlights and introduce fresh stories in the unmistakable Peter Kay style. Don’t expect celebrity cameos or giant pyrotechnics — expect something rarer: an evening of pure comedic brilliance from one of the greatest entertainers of our time.
