Up Close with Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey comes to Dublin this September for an intimate live conversation - one night only at 3Arena 

The Pendulum Summit will host their first-ever fall event with a landmark one-night only experience, Up Close With Oprah Winfrey, bringing one of the world’s most iconic and influential figures to Dublin at 3Arena on Monday, 14 September 2026. 

This live evening event will offer audiences the chance to experience an intimate conversation with Oprah, hosted by David Meade, along with a special musical performance by Niall Breslin ahead of Oprah's appearance. The special evening is designed as a unique live experience, bringing audiences closer to one of the most recognisable and respected global media leaders of our time. 

“Oprah has been an inspirational compass for me my whole life. As a child, I was mesmerised by her warmth, empathy, and energy on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In more recent years, her conversations through ‘The Oprah Podcast’ have continued to show that same depth and reflection. She treats vulnerability as strength, self-awareness as power, and has always believed that true success lies in lifting others. I am so grateful that she has chosen Up Close With for her first live 

appearance and that we get to bring her to Dublin.”
