Oprah Winfrey announces Dublin event this September

Oprah Winfrey has announced that she will be coming to Dublin's 3Arena on September 14 for an "intimate live conversation."

Said to bring an intimate conversation format to an arena stage, Up Close With Oprah will be hosted by David Meade and include a performance by Irish musician Niall Breslin.

"Oprah has been an inspirational compass for me my whole life. As a child, I was mesmerised by her warmth, empathy, and energy on The Oprah Winfrey Show," said co-funder and creative director of Up Close With, Norma Murphy.

"In more recent years, her conversations through The Oprah Podcast have continued to show that same depth and reflection. She treats vulnerability as strength, self-awareness as power, and has always believed that true success lies in lifting others.

"I am so grateful that she has chosen Up Close With for her first live appearance and that we get to bring her to Dublin."

Oprah Winfrey is an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author and media proprietor, who is best known for her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ran for 25 years, beginning in 1986 and ending in 2011.
