New Year’s Festival Dublin
What better way to bring in the New Year than
by gathering together with family and friends
to enjoy some of the best talent that Ireland
has to offer at the New Year’s Festival Dublin.
Now in its third year, the festival just keeps on
growing. Last year’s festival attracted over
20,000 international visitors and this year
promises to be even bigger with a host of free
and family friendly events - from concerts, to
walking trails, pop-up street performances and
more - that are all guaranteed to engage,
entertain and excite from 30 December to 1
January. -
David Bowie Festival
For the past five years, the
Grand Social in Dublin have run
a Bowie Birthday Bash in January
to mark the birthday of David
Bowie. The Grand Social’s
booking manager, John Brereton
is a self-confessed “Bowie nerd”
and in 2016 he decided to
expand the Birthday Bash into a
full scale Bowie Festival. This
festival attracted people from all
over the world, including some
big names associated with David
Bowie, such as Gerry Leonard,
who was Bowie’s guitar player,
musical director and co-writer
for ten years. However, in a
tragic twist of fate, the sad news
of Bowie’s passing filtered
through the day after the festival. -

afternoon matinees, this imaginative new spin on an old
favourite is sure to be a hit with young and old alike. -
