Bus to Raye – 3Arena – 4 & 5 March 2026

Raye brings her arena tour This Tour May Contain New Music to Dublin’s 3Arena on 4 & 5 March 2026, for two huge nights of future-facing pop, jazz-soul and R&B. These back-to-back shows form part of her 2026 European and North American tour in support of her forthcoming second studio album, with both Dublin dates featuring special guests Absolutely and Amma. Fans can look forward to a set packed with powerful live arrangements, brass, big band moments and reimagined versions of her hits, all inside one of Ireland’s premier indoor arenas – with a convenient bus to Raye at 3Arena ready to bring you straight into the heart of the action.

After the global success of her breakthrough album My 21st Century Blues, Raye has become known for emotionally honest songwriting and fearless genre-blending. Her catalogue includes chart-topping collaborations and solo smashes like “Escapism.”, “Prada”, “Secrets”, “BED” and “You Don’t Know Me”, alongside jazz-leaning live favourites that showcase her powerful voice and band. Recent festival performances and televised appearances have underlined her reputation as a magnetic, theatrical performer, and these 3Arena dates promise an elevated production with full live band, rich arrangements and the dramatic flourishes that have turned her shows into must-see events.

Irish Concert Travel offers a dedicated same-day return bus to Raye at 3Arena from locations across Ireland, created specifically for concert-goers. Instead of juggling late-night transport options, traffic around Dublin’s Docklands or expensive last-minute alternatives, you simply book your coach seat in advance, board at your chosen pick-up, and travel in comfort with fellow fans. Services are planned to arrive before doors open on both nights, giving you time to find your section, pick up merch and soak in the pre-show buzz around the arena concourse.

Whether you’re following Raye from her early singles or discovered her more recently through awards shows, festival performances or viral live clips, these 3Arena dates are shaping up to be standout moments of the tour. Travelling on the concert coach keeps the focus on the music – from intricate ballads and jazz-club sections to big pop anthems – while your transport there and back is already taken care of. With two nights in Dublin and demand expected to be intense, securing both your ticket and your bus early is the best way to lock in a seamless concert experience.

Coach seats are limited and popular arena shows sell out quickly. Book now to guarantee your place on the official bus to Raye at 3Arena and enjoy a smooth, stress-free journey to one of Dublin’s most exciting 2026 concerts.

How the Journey Works

Our concert coach services for Raye at 3Arena are designed to give you a smooth, simple and stress-free travel experience on both 4 and 5 March 2026. Instead of dealing with late-night transport, busy Docklands traffic or parking restrictions around the arena, you can board your pre-booked coach, sit back and enjoy the build-up to one of Dublin’s most anticipated pop and R&B shows of the year. All services operate as same-day return.

Our coaches will collect passengers from regional hubs including the West, Midlands, and South — for example: Galway, Athlone, Roscommon and Sligo. Exact stops and pickup times are listed in the journey table.

Each route is optimised — no changes or public transfers. Drivers are familiar with 3Arena traffic conditions and coach zones, and will arrive before doors open. After the show, you’ll return from the same spot the bus departs 30 minutes after the final encore.

As your coach approaches Dublin, it will follow major motorway routes planned to minimise congestion during peak event times. The final approach into the Docklands area takes typical evening traffic into account, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed journey while our experienced drivers handle the busy roads around the arena. You’ll arrive with plenty of time to grab merch, refreshments or explore the 3Arena concourse before Raye and her live band take the stage.

When the concert ends, your return coach will be waiting at the designated pick-up zone outside the venue. Your driver will confirm the exact location before drop-off, ensuring a straightforward and stress-free end to the night. Once all passengers are accounted for, the coach will follow the same route back to each regional hub used during the outbound trip.

This organised transport structure gives you peace of mind, especially with two major shows in a row attracting large crowds. Whether you’re attending one night or both, travelling by concert coach means you can focus entirely on the performance, knowing your journey home is already handled.

About Raye

Raye has rapidly become one of the most exciting and forward-thinking voices in modern pop, R&B, jazz and alternative soul. Born Rachel Keen in London, she spent years shaping her craft as a songwriter and vocalist before stepping fully into the global spotlight with the success of her 2023 debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her ability to merge pop precision with raw emotional honesty has earned her widespread acclaim, major awards, and the reputation of being an artist who is redefining the boundaries of mainstream music.

As a songwriter, Raye has written for and collaborated with some of the world’s biggest artists — but it was “Escapism.” featuring 070 Shake that catapulted her into international stardom. The track topped charts worldwide, going viral for its cinematic storytelling, striking production, and Raye’s gripping vocal intensity. Other standout releases such as “Prada,” “You Don’t Know Me,” “BED,” and “Secrets” showcase her versatility, blending electronic pop with R&B, house, UK dance influences, and big-band jazz stylings that now feature heavily in her live performances.

Her upcoming second studio album marks the next chapter in her artistic evolution, and the 2026 tour titled This Tour May Contain New Music gives fans a first opportunity to hear brand-new material alongside the hits that have defined her rise. The 3Arena dates in Dublin are among the most anticipated shows of the European leg, featuring a full live band, brass section and re-imagined arrangements of her best-known tracks. Both nights also include support acts Absolutely and Amma, adding even more depth and energy to the event.

Raye’s performances are known for their theatrical flair — dramatic lighting, long instrumental breaks, powerful vocal moments, and sections that blend jazz-club intimacy with full arena spectacle. Her ability to move between vulnerable storytelling and explosive pop anthems makes each concert feel personal yet grand in scale. Fans attending her 3Arena shows can expect a dynamic setlist that highlights her vocal range, band chemistry and the emotional intensity that has become her signature on stage.

Beyond her chart success, Raye is celebrated for her advocacy and honesty. She has spoken openly about her journey in the music industry, including creative independence, artistic control, and the importance of authenticity. This transparency has strengthened her connection with audiences and transformed her into a respected cultural figure as well as a hit-making artist.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

  • Before launching her solo breakthrough, Raye penned songs for artists including Beyoncé, Little Mix and Charli XCX.
  • “Escapism.” became her first UK No. 1 single and achieved multi-platinum certifications internationally.
  • Raye holds the record for the most BRIT Award nominations received by a single artist in one year, with seven nods in 2024.
