Niall Horan fans are gearing up to welcome the Mullingar native home for a string of gigs at Dublin’s 3Arena this week.

Following the success of back in 2024, the Mullingar man is back with a new tour after the release of his latest album.
While excitement builds for the gigs, concerns have also been raised regarding major travel delays expected to and from the concert venue, particularly on Thursday.

Extensive security arrangements will be in place for both meetings, which will take place at the Convention Centre Dublin, close to 3Arena.
Niall Horan kicked off the first of his four concerts at the venue on Monday night, with 3Arena management confirming that the remaining three concerts on Tuesday night, Thursday night and Friday night would go ahead as planned.
Although the concert venue is outside the security cordon, fans have been advised to allow additional travel time and plan their journeys carefully.
There will be traffic and transport restrictions on approach routes to the 3Arena, but An Garda Síochána and TFI have stated that they are firmly committed to reducing the impact of these arrangements as much as possible for concert-goers.
There will be no east/west traffic on North Wall Quay from November 10 to 13. Vehicles can access the 3Arena along Seville Place/Sherriff Street Upper, East Wall Road and across Tom Clarke Toll Bridge at all times.
Luas operations will continue as normal on Tuesday. There will be no LUAS services to the 3Arena on Thursday or Friday. A restricted number of special LUAS services will be facilitated after the event on both nights.
There will be no pedestrian access along North Wall Quay on Thursday or Friday. Pedestrians accessing the 3Arena should use Amiens Street/Seville Place/Spencer Dock Bridge/Sherriff Street Upper/North Wall Avenue before and after the events.
Fans can expect a mix of new material and familiar favourites when Horan takes to the stage.

The show starts at 7pm and doors will open at 6.30pm.
