3Olympia Theatre

72 Dame Street, Dublin D02 K135

The 3Olympia is a historic theatre on Dame Street in Dublin, opened in 1879 as Dan Lowrey's Star of Erin Music Hall and fitted with a Rococo-revival interior of gilt plasterwork, balconies and cast-iron columns. It has weathered a good deal across its long life, including the collapse of its proscenium arch during a 1974 rehearsal that closed it for over two years, and it took its current name in 2021 under a sponsorship deal with Three Ireland. Seated capacity runs to around 1,247, rising toward 1,600 with standing. The stage has hosted everyone from Charlie Chaplin to David Bowie, R.E.M., Radiohead and Adele, the sort of span that comes only with nearly a century and a half of programming. Its ornate, slightly faded grandeur makes it one of the most characterful rooms a touring act can play in Dublin.
