Travelling with Friends

• If you and your friends booked from different pickup locations, you will travel on different coaches but arrive together at Grasslands Agro Coach Park.
• If you have separate bookings from the same pickup location, please arrive together as early as possible. We’ll do our best to seat you together, although this cannot be guaranteed.

All coaches travel directly to the official Slane Castle coach park at Grasslands Agro. From there, it is approximately a 1.4-mile walk to the venue. There is no coach access closer to the venue.

No alcohol or hot food is permitted on board, in accordance with our Terms of Travel.

Before leaving your coach at Slane, please take all personal belongings with you, as you may return on a different coach.

Tip: When you arrive at the coach park, drop a pin on Google Maps so you can easily find your way back after the concert.

Return Journey

All return coaches will depart 60 minutes after the concert finishes from Grasslands Agro Yard Coach Park.

Important: Please do not ask event security or An Garda Síochána for directions. Their role is to manage crowd movement, not direct coach passengers. Instead, follow the official signs to Grasslands Agro Coach Park. There are several coach parks at Slane, but all Buses To Concerts coaches depart from Grasslands Agro. Our staff wearing high-visibility jackets will be available to assist you.

We operate a “Load & Go” system to get everyone home as quickly as possible. This means you may return on a different coach from the one you travelled on.

You must have your Buses To Concerts wristband to board your return coach. Passengers without a valid wristband may be refused travel or charged for their journey.

Yes! Buses to Concerts provides direct return travel to Fontaines D.C. at Slane Castle departing from both Belfast (Leonardo Hotel, Great Victoria Street) and Newry (Fiveways Service Station layby).

How much are return bus tickets for the Fontaines D.C. Slane Castle concert?

Return coach tickets to Slane Castle range from £40.00 to £49.00, depending on where you depart from.

Where does the Fontaines D.C. Slane Castle concert bus drop off and pick up passengers?

All our luxury coaches drop off and collect directly inside the official Grasslands Agro Coach Park at Slane Castle. This designated transport hub minimizes walking distances and gets you straight onto the main access routes after the event.

What time does the coach return from Slane Castle after the Fontaines D.C. gig?

Return coaches depart the Grasslands Agro Coach Park approximately 60 minutes after the concert ends. This allows ample time to exit the main stage area while ensuring a swift, hassle-free return journey back to Newry and Belfast without the stress of navigating local road closures.

What are the pickup times for the Belfast and Newry departure locations?

Pickup times are scheduled to ensure passengers arrive at Slane Castle early in the afternoon, well before support acts begin. Exact departure timetables will be provided during checkout and emailed with your booking confirmation prior to the show.

Can I leave my personal belongings on the coach during the concert?

No. Due to the size of the event and our “Load and Go” return system (where you may return on a different coach), passengers are strictly not permitted to leave personal belongings on the bus during the show. All personal items must be taken with you into the concert venue.

Are there age limits or alcohol policies on board the Slane Castle coach?

A strict no-alcohol, no-glass, and no-smoking/vaping policy is enforced on all our services. All passengers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Do I need to book my Fontaines D.C. Slane Castle coach tickets in advance?

Yes, pre-booking online is required. Due to high demand for the Fontaines D.C. Slane Castle dates, bus seats sell out rapidly, and walk-up sales on the day cannot be accommodated.

Does this ticket include admission to the Fontaines D.C. Slane Castle concert?

No. This booking is strictly for return concert coach travel. Event entry tickets must be obtained separately via authorized ticketing outlets.
