Point Theatre

Point Theatre, Former concert venue in North Wall Quay, Dublin, Ireland

Point Theatre was a concert and events venue on North Wall Quay in Dublin's Docklands, operating from 1988 to 2007. Its seated capacity was 6,300, rising to 8,500 standing. The two-storey building, built of dark brick over pale stone, has four round-arched openings at street level and a sign reading "POINT DEPOT" on the stone wall.

Built in 1878 as a train depot for the busy port, the building was known to railwaymen as "The Point Store". After years of neglect it was bought in the late 1980s by developer Harry Crosbie, with Apollo Leisure fitting out balconies, offices and backstage facilities. Before renovation, U2 recorded "Van Diemen's Land" there for Rattle and Hum. It opened as a venue in 1988 and closed in mid-2007 for redevelopment.

Railwaymen knew the 1878 depot as "The Point Store" before it became a concert hall in 1988. Its flexible floor let it turn into an ice rink, boxing arena, opera house or three-ring circus, and Riverdance was first performed here as the 1994 Eurovision interval act.

The location is easily reached on foot from Dublin's northern city center and sits near other Docklands attractions. Today the site operates under a new name with modernized facilities, so checking current visitor information beforehand is advisable.

The hall hosted the Eurovision Song Contest three times and gained international attention when Riverdance made its world premiere there in 1994. This performance proved to be a turning point in Irish entertainment history.
