How the Journey Works

Getting to Dublin’s 3Arena for Wolf Alice has never been easier thanks to Irish Concert Travel’s dedicated concert coach service. We operate comfortable, same-day return buses that connect key regions across Ireland to the capital — with no need for hotels, taxis, or tricky public transport routes. If you’re travelling from the West, Midlands, North-West, or South, this is the ideal way to experience the concert without logistical headaches.

All coach services are operated by experienced drivers who understand the flow of traffic around the 3Arena. Our team plans each journey with precision to ensure you arrive before doors open. Each route includes a convenient pickup zone listed clearly in your booking confirmation. We do not include town names here — your ticket will specify your departure location and timing in full.

Once the event ends, passengers will return from the same drop-off location near the arena. The bus departs 30 minutes after the Concert ends. All our return services are punctual, direct, and coordinated to ensure you get home safely and swiftly after an unforgettable night.

Helpful travel tips:

• Arrive at your chosen pickup location at least 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time
• Bring a copy or screenshot of your booking confirmation to show the driver
• Alcohol is not permitted onboard our services
• Hot Food and Hot Drinks are not permitted onboard our services
• To locate the Coach after the concert ends we recommend passengers send themselves their current whatsapp location when exiting the bus and to take the drivers number

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.

This is the best option for fans coming from rural and regional areas. There’s no need to navigate traffic or figure out late-night train times. You can simply relax and enjoy the ride — the only thing you’ll need to focus on is the music.

Once on board, you’ll be travelling with other fans — making it an even better experience. Share the excitement with fellow Wolf Alice supporters and arrive at the venue ready to enjoy a night of atmospheric indie rock, explosive energy, and haunting vocals.

Please check your confirmation email for your exact pickup location and time. All journey details will be included in your booking information.

Your return coach will be parked in the same area where you were dropped off before the concert. If you have difficulty locating the bus, contact the driver directly using the phone number provided on your booking confirmation.

Will the coach leave without me after the event?

Our coaches depart according to the scheduled time after the concert. If you are not back ten minutes before departure, the driver will attempt to contact you via the number you provided. If you cannot be reached or appear to be making no effort to return, the coach may depart on schedule.

For outdoor venues such as Aviva Stadium, buses depart approximately 40 minutes after the concert ends. Please make your way to the bus promptly once the final song finishes.

No. Alcohol consumption is not permitted onboard. Sealed containers can be stored in the underfloor luggage area and collected upon arrival at the Aviva Stadium. Intoxicated passengers may be refused entry to the coach.

About Wolf Alice

Wolf Alice rose to prominence with their breakout hit “Moaning Lisa Smile,” a track that captured the raw intensity of the UK’s alt-rock revival and earned the band a Grammy nomination. Formed in North London in 2010, the four-piece consists of Ellie Rowsell (vocals/guitar), Joff Oddie (guitar), Theo Ellis (bass), and Joel Amey (drums). Their debut album My Love Is Cool (2015) debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart and signalled the arrival of one of Britain’s most genre-defying rock acts.

Critically acclaimed follow-up albums Visions of a Life (2017) and Blue Weekend (2021) solidified Wolf Alice’s place at the forefront of modern British music. The band won the Mercury Prize in 2018 for Visions of a Life, and their third record was named Best British Group at the 2022 BRIT Awards. Their sonic palette ranges from dreamy shoegaze ballads like “The Last Man On Earth” to grunge-laced anthems such as “Yuk Foo.”

This Dublin performance at the 3Arena is part of their “The Clearing” Tour, supporting their upcoming fourth album of the same name, due to release in August 2025. Fans attending the show can expect a carefully curated setlist that blends new material with fan favourites, complemented by the band’s renowned atmospheric lighting, stage visuals, and raw, visceral performance energy.
