U2 3Arena

U2 3Arena which is a 14-500-capacity amphitheatre located at North-Wall Quay in the Dublin Docklands in Dublin City, Ireland, which opened on 16th of December 2008. It was built on the site of the former Point Theatre, a smaller music venue which closed in 2007, retaining only some of the outer architectural facade. The Point Theatre was branded as ‘The Point Depot’, in recognition of its original role as a railway goods handling station and its central role in the community for many decades.

In the period 2008 to 2014, the 3Arena was known as The O2 Arena. Its 14-500 capacity makes it the largest indoor arena in Ireland. The venue was rebranded on 4th September 2014 as the 3Arena due to the takeover of O2 Ireland by Three Ireland, both mobile phone operators.

The 3Arena Dublin is owned by Live Nation and in 2011, the venue was named as the fifth busiest arena in the world with ticket sales of 670,000 putting it behind The O2 in London, the Manchester Arena, Antwerp’s Sport-paleis and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.

U2 3Arena gigs could see a capacity crowd over the three gigs of 43-500, which will bring a much welcomed boost to Hotels, Guesthouse and B&Bs in Dublin who are close to The 3Arena.
