One Direction's Louis Tomlinson to play first solo show in Dublin ...
One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is getting ready to perform his first solo show in Dublin’s 3Arena tonight.
The British singer is taking his tour to Dublin for the first time ever and he has already been spotted by fans in Temple Bar.
His album, Faith in The Future, was released nearly a year ago, and featured celebrated names such as Rob Harvey, Mike Crossey (The 1975, Wolf Alice); Dan Grech (The Killers, The Vaccines, Halsey); Nico Rebscher (Alice Merton); Joe Cross (Courteeners); and Hurts frontman Theo Hutchcraft.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s gig.
Are there any tickets left?
A limited number of tickets are available on Ticketmaster from €40, excluding booking fee.
When do doors open?
The doors will open at 6:30pm.
Who is the opening act?
Ava Lily will be on at 7pm, The Academic will then take to the stage at 8pm and Louis Tomlinson will come on at 9pm.
How do I get to the 3Arena?
Traveling to 3Arena couldn’t be easier. Situated in the heart of Dublin’s docklands, it is very well served by public transport. Irish Rail Dart or inter-city services will bring you to Connolly or Heuston Station, from where you can hop on the Luas straight to the 3Arena.
There are extra trams on show nights to cater for the large numbers travelling to and from the venue. A full schedule and live information are available on www.luas.ie.
Dublin Bus offers a high frequency and accessible service from all over Dublin to within a 20-minute walk of the 3Arena. The 151 route runs every 10 minutes during rush hour and will leave you on Castleforbes Road, the closest stop to the venue, just a two-minute walk away. The last bus departs Castleforbes Road at 23.15pm Monday to Saturday.
For anyone driving, there is limited car parking available in The Point Village car park, but this car park is not run by 3Arena.
With large numbers gathering on show nights traffic congestion can delay your arrival and departure so it’s encouraged to use public transport where possible.
What else should I be aware of?
3Arena is a fully cashless venue and the maximum bag size limit is 40cm x 40cm x 20cm. Large rucksacks, luggage or oversized bags are not permitted. Under-16s to be accompanied by an adult and standing is strictly over-14s.
