Bus to Picture This – 3Arena – Home for Christmas – 29 & 30 December 2025
This Christmas season, Picture This returns home in spectacular fashion with not one, but two major headline shows at Dublin’s 3Arena on 29th and 30th December 2025. Back by overwhelming demand, their Home for Christmas concerts have become a beloved holiday tradition — and 2025 is shaping up to be their most immersive experience yet. With both dates already sold out, these shows are among the most anticipated live music events in Ireland this year.
Known for their anthemic sound, emotional songwriting, and explosive live energy, Picture This will take fans on a journey through all four of their hit albums — from “Take My Hand” and “One Drink” to the latest releases from 2024’s Stand By Me. What sets these Christmas shows apart is their full-scale visual production: the band transforms 3Arena into a fully Irish setting, complete with an on-stage pub, garden, and car park, offering a true-to-life tribute to small-town Ireland and shared moments that define the holidays.
Irish Concert Travel offers a dedicated same-day return bus to Picture This at 3Arena for both December dates. No need to stress over last-minute taxis, train delays, or hotel costs — just hop on a comfortable coach from your region and get dropped off short walking distance from the arena. It’s the safest, easiest, and most reliable way to join the festive crowd and head home after the encore.
Don’t miss your chance to experience Ireland’s biggest homegrown band closing out the year in style. These shows promise soaring vocals, unforgettable visuals, and a crowd singing in unison to every chorus. Book your return bus to Picture This at 3Arena now — seats are limited and in high demand as fans travel from all over the country to be part of this festive celebration.
With two massive “Home for Christmas” shows lined up for 29th and 30th December 2025, Irish Concert Travel is making it easier than ever for fans of Picture This to experience the magic of 3Arena without the stress of planning transport. Our same-day return bus to Picture This at 3Arena is the most comfortable, affordable, and hassle-free way to get to the heart of Dublin — and back — all in one unforgettable night. Our nationwide coach service picks up from regional hubs across Ireland, connecting fans from the West, the Midlands, the South, and beyond. Each coach runs a route to Dublin, with drop-off zones located just short walking distance from the 3Arena. Whether you’re travelling with friends or heading solo, we’ll get you to the venue in good time to soak up the atmosphere, explore the merch stands, and get settled before the band hits the stage. Helpful travel tips: 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. The 3Arena can get hectic on big show nights — especially during the holidays — so taking a coach removes the stress of finding parking or navigating public transport. Taxis are scarce after arena events, and hotel prices in Dublin over Christmas are often sky-high. Our service ensures you won’t be stuck waiting in the cold or scrambling for a ride home — your seat on the return trip is guaranteed. All of our drivers are experienced in managing traffic around Dublin Port and 3Arena, so you’ll arrive before doors open. The bus departs 30 minutes after the concert ends. Whether you’re catching the Monday show on 29 December or the Tuesday finale on 30 December — or both! — Irish Concert Travel will get you there and back in comfort. Enjoy Picture This performing their biggest hits in a one-of-a-kind festive setting, without worrying about how you’ll get home afterwards. Book now and make your journey part of the experience.How the Journey Works

Book NowPicture This is one of Ireland’s most successful modern bands, known for their heartfelt lyrics, catchy melodies, and undeniable connection with fans. Formed in Athy, County Kildare, in 2015, the group features Ryan Hennessy (vocals), Jimmy Rainsford (drums), Owen Cardiff (guitar), and Cliff Deane (bass). What began as a DIY project on social media quickly exploded into one of the most talked-about musical stories in Irish pop history. Their breakout hit “Take My Hand” went viral online, catching the attention of major labels and fans across the country. That momentum led to the release of their debut EP, followed by a self-titled debut album in 2017, which debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Albums Chart and remained there for four weeks. Since then, Picture This have built an impressive catalogue that includes the albums MDRN LV (2019), Life in Colour (2021), and their most recent 2024 release, Stand By Me. The band’s music fuses pop-rock, indie, and electronic influences, always anchored by deeply personal songwriting. Ryan Hennessy’s vocals are raw and emotionally charged, offering relatable narratives about love, loss, growing up, and Irish identity. Whether they’re filling arenas or playing stripped-down acoustic sets, Picture This has a unique ability to make massive crowds feel like intimate gatherings. Live performances are central to their identity. The band made history in 2017 by becoming the first act to sell out five consecutive nights at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre on their debut album — a record-breaking feat for a new Irish band. They’ve since sold out venues across Europe and the U.S., including previous headline shows at 3Arena, Electric Picnic, and the INEC Arena in Killarney. Their 2025 “Home for Christmas” shows are especially significant. Not only do they cap off a successful year of touring and album promotion, but they also bring the band back to where it all started — a celebration of their Irish roots and a massive thank-you to their loyal home audience. With immersive stage design, visual storytelling, and a fan-powered atmosphere, these concerts promise more than just great music — they’re a heartwarming holiday experience.About Picture This
