How the Journey Works

Concert nights in Dublin are brilliant — but they can be awkward to organise when you’re coming from outside the city. That’s where a planned return coach service makes a real difference. Irish Concert Travel uses routes that collect passengers from regional hubs across Ireland, helping you avoid the most stressful part of the evening: navigating city traffic, hunting for parking, or trying to line up late-night transport when thousands of people leave the arena at once.

The journey is designed to feel like the start of the night out, not a separate chore. You can settle in, enjoy the build-up, and arrive close to the 3Arena event zone in good time (depending on traffic). The 3Arena is located on North Wall Quay in Dublin’s Docklands, an area that can become congested around doors time — especially on consecutive sold-out-level nights. Travelling as part of a coordinated coach service reduces the pressure of last-minute changes and keeps your plan predictable.

After the show, the return is kept simple: you head back to the same agreed meeting point, the bus departs 30 minutes after the concert ends. No splitting up to find lifts, no searching for the right pick-up lane, and no relying on surge pricing. For fans who want the most straightforward way to enjoy a Dublin arena gig and get home the same night, the coach option is often the smoothest solution.

About The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones are an Irish folk and ballad group formed in 1963, originating from Bluebell, Dublin. Across decades of touring and recording, they became especially well known for live performances that blend traditional Irish music with historical ballads and songs tied to Irish political and cultural themes. The band’s name references Theobald Wolfe Tone (associated with the 1798 rebellion) and also carries a musical double meaning linked to the term “wolf tone.”

According to the band’s official biography, the current performing trio is Brian Warfield, Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne. That long-running lineup and their performance style are central to what fans come for: songs designed for the room to sing back. A Wolfe Tones show is often described less like a typical concert and more like a mass chorus — where the audience participation is part of the point, and the energy builds as familiar refrains land across the crowd.

When it comes to signature material, several titles are repeatedly linked with the group. Their version of “A Nation Once Again” is frequently cited as being voted the world’s favourite song in a 2002 BBC World Service poll. The group is also associated with originals written by Brian Warfield, including “Celtic Symphony” (written in 1987 for the centenary of Celtic Football Club), and songs such as “Joe McDonnell”, which references the life and death of the Provisional IRA member who died during the 1981 Hunger Strike.

For a Dublin arena night, that catalogue matters because it’s built for scale — choruses that carry, melodies that thousands can lift at once, and a set that tends to lean into the best-known crowd favourites. If you’re planning on travelling, it’s worth sorting your transport early, because when demand rises for big Dublin dates, the travel options around the Docklands can become as competitive as the tickets themselves.
