How the Journey Works

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Sombr for the first time, your journey to 3Arena Dublin for this atmospheric and emotional concert should be as seamless as the artist’s own smooth delivery. Irish Concert Travel takes the stress out of concert night with our reliable, comfortable, and fan-friendly bus to Sombr at 3Arena. No worrying about directions, traffic, parking or post-show transit — we handle it all so you can focus on the music.

Our return coach service operates from various regional locations, including the South, the West, and the Midlands. We offer convenient same-day travel built specifically around the event schedule. You’ll arrive at the venue with time to spare — perfect for soaking in the excitement, meeting friends, or browsing merch. After the concert, coaches depart 30 minutes after the show ends.

The 3Arena sits on Dublin’s North Wall Quay, one of the city’s most accessible entertainment hubs. We drop you close to the main venue entrance so you’re a short walking distance away from the action. 

Sombr’s fans are known for being attentive, engaged, and emotionally invested — and we want your entire concert experience to reflect that energy. That’s why our coaches are well-maintained, warm, and comfortable, especially during those cool March nights in Dublin.

About Sombr

Sombr, real name Shane Michael Boose, is an American indie-pop singer-songwriter whose rise to prominence has been both rapid and resonant. Blending melancholy lyricism with dreamy synth textures, Sombr creates music that feels deeply intimate, capturing themes of love, longing, nostalgia, and inner growth. His unique sound — often described as a fusion of bedroom pop, ambient indie, and lo-fi R&B — has earned him a loyal global following drawn to his emotional honesty and subtle sonic layers.

Hailing originally from the U.S., Sombr first gained attention with a series of low-key SoundCloud releases that quickly gathered steam thanks to their raw sincerity and poetic minimalism. In 2023, he broke into mainstream consciousness with the release of The Late Nights & Young Romance, a moody and melodic project that explored vulnerability and quiet emotional depth. Tracks like “27th Hour,” “Between Halos,” and “November Light” earned millions of streams and critical acclaim for their stripped-back beauty and cinematic atmosphere.

His live shows are known for their subtlety and soulfulness — replacing pyrotechnics and big theatrics with mood lighting, live instrumentation, and immersive visuals. It’s not uncommon for audiences to fall into reflective silence during his ballads or sway gently to his minimalist grooves. Each show feels like a shared secret — delicate, powerful, and unforgettable.

By 2025, Sombr was featured on Spotify’s Radar and NPR’s Ones to Watch, as well as touring sold-out venues across Europe and North America. With his upcoming 3Arena Dublin performance, he takes the next step in a career built not on hype, but on heart. This is music that doesn’t shout to be heard — it invites you to lean in and feel.

Sombr Trivia:

• Sombr’s stage name is derived from the word “somber,” a nod to the melancholic tone in his early recordings.
• He writes, produces, and mixes much of his music alone in a minimalist home studio setup.
• He cites James Blake, Frank Ocean, and Bon Iver as major influences on his sound.
• Despite his rising fame, Sombr has remained intentionally low-profile on social media, allowing the music to speak for itself.
• He’s known for opening shows with a moment of silence or ambient intro track to set the mood for reflection and immersion.
