Fancy 20% off your ticket?
The 3Arena is one of Dublin’s most popular music and comedy venues, welcoming hundreds of thousands of people every year. They have hosted concerts for some of the biggest names in the world, and people travel not just across the country, but from overseas to attend shows here. Here at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, we’re just a 20-minute walk away from the 3Arena (even closer by Luas) and we want to give you more from your visit to the music venue, with Encore at EPIC.
Encore at EPIC is all about giving you more. More stories, more culture, and more reasons to stick around. So, why not make a night, or a day, of it? Dublin’s Docklands is the perfect place to linger a little longer. With top-tier dining, whether you’re looking for something fancy, or something cheap and cheerful, rich culture, and iconic sights all within walking distance, there’s no need to rush. In fact, we encourage you not to. Whether you’re ramping up the energy before the gig or winding down the morning after, there’s plenty to explore, and we’ve put together the ultimate itinerary to help you make the most of it.
