Show summary Hide summary
Westlife have launched a 13-night residency at Dublin’s 3Arena to mark their 25th anniversary, with shows across September before the band heads north to Belfast. The concerts feature Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan; Mark Feehily is not participating in the residency.
Timings
The venue opens to ticketholders at 6pm, with performances due to begin at around 7.30pm each night.
There are three separate entry points to the 3Arena—check your ticket for the correct gate. Entrance 1 (left) serves the Box Office, 3Concierge and Club 3; Entrance 2 faces the front of the venue; Entrance 3 sits beside the red line Luas stop.
Getting there
The easiest public transport option is the red line Luas to The Point stop, which drops passengers immediately outside the arena.
Bus route 151 stops on Castleforbes Road, a short two-minute walk away. From O’Connell Bridge it’s possible to walk in about 30 minutes if the weather allows, or you can take a taxi to the venue entrance.
On-site parking is available at Point Square at a rate of approximately €4.20 per hour, but note the car park closes at midnight.
