One of the busiest, best–attended venues on the planet (it was ranked as the 15th highest attended venue in the world in 2016), 3Arena is a testament to Dublin’s insatiable appetite for big gigs. This is where legendary rock acts and superstar pop artists come to strut their stuff. Once the old Point Depot, today it’s an ultra–modern facility with world–class acoustics in the reinvigorated Docklands. Launched in 2008, we still marvel at how 3Arena can host a truly immersive show while being a 14,000–seater – and there’s literally not a bad seat in the house. As you would expect, there’s a busy and varied line–up all year round, with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Drake and Picture This among the heavyweight acts stopping off in 2019.
