Information About Getting a Bus to Your Concert at the RDS

The RDS venue is a historic and world-class entertainment hub, with the Main Arena and Simmonscourt areas hosting tens of thousands of fans for Ireland’s biggest gigs. The venue offers excellent facilities, including various food outlets, bars, and a fully cashless system to keep queues moving.

However, its location on Merrion Road means that traffic congestion is a near-certainty during peak event hours. Our service specialises in Irish concert travel, providing a dedicated transport link that navigates the embassy district to get you as close to the entrance as possible. We plan our routes carefully to avoid the worst of the Dublin 4 bottlenecks, allowing you to enjoy the pre-show atmosphere rather than worrying about local traffic restrictions.

The primary benefit of choosing Irish Concert Travel for your RDS gig is the organised journey home. After a major performance, the local taxi ranks and public transport links are immediately overwhelmed. Our pre-booked coaches offer a clear, easy-to-find meeting point and a coordinated departure shortly after the final encore ends. Our drivers utilize optimized routes—often via the Dublin Port Tunnel or dedicated bus lanes—to ensure the most efficient exit from the city. Instead of waiting on a crowded platform or walking into the city centre to find a lift, you can simply board your return coach and relax.
