The weekend five in Dublin: August 21-23
Friday night in Dublin: kids' theatre, electronic grooves, legendary dance, punk attitude, and a special performance.
Dublin's Friday is packed. Whether you're dragging reluctant kids to theatre, craving electronic beats in an art gallery, nursing your punk nostalgia, or ready to lose yourself in legendary Irish step dancing, this city's throwing its weekend starter gun early. Pick your poison.
1 · Bluey's Big Play (Friday)
Kids will go feral on a Friday night at the Olympia. But Bluey isn't overstimulated chaos—it's packed with families who actually want to be there. Australian cartoon translated to real bodies, real stakes.
2 · Bluey's Big Play - Relaxed Performance (Friday)
Same show, different pace, still Friday. Relaxed performances exist because not all kids experience theatre the same way. The Olympia becomes sanctuary: dimmed lights, open door policy, permission to move.
3 · Moby (Friday)
Friday's electronic pioneer in an art gallery hits strange and pure. Moby without stadium theatrics, surrounded by art instead of lasers. The beats land different when the walls are white and gallery-quiet.
4 · Riverdance 30 - The New Generation VIP (Friday)
Friday night, and Riverdance still hits just as hard. At the Gaiety in VIP mode—Irish step dancing aged like whiskey, not milk. Bodies moving like they're arguing with gravity in one of Dublin's most beautiful theatres.
5 · Stiff Little Fingers (Friday)
Friday punk that refused to disappear. The Academy with Stiff Little Fingers is pure Dublin: respect the history, turn up the volume, sweat through your shirt. They're still angry, still tight, still essential.
See you there. no te limites.
