The 3 Arena, located on North Wall Quay in Dublin was formally known as the Point Theatre. The point theatre was a much smaller music venue in Dublin and operated between 1988-2007. In 2008, The 3 Arena was re-opened after undergoing a large scale refurbishment project and now has a capacity for 14,000 people and can facilitate major international performers like Beyonce and Ed Sheeran. In 2011 The 3 Arena had a record number of ticket sales which has made it one of the world’s most popular musical venues and since has strived as a popular musical venue in Ireland for national and international performers.
