Then head for the spectacular midnight moment with critically acclaimed Irish international phenomenon Picture This. The pop-rock band with a sound all of their own are set to headline this year’s over 18s-only Countdown Concert at Dublin Castle, alongside special guests singer-songwriters Lyra and Ryan Sheridan.
On 1 January, families and friends can continue the celebrations at three very special New Year’s Day events at Dublin Castle and Temple Bar, the cultural heart of Dublin.
Soak up the festive atmosphere at New Year’s Afternoon at the Castle and enjoy entertainment for all the family, including pop-up street performances to keep people of all ages entertained.
Take a walk to Meeting House Square in Temple Bar, where Music In The Square will have live performances from great performers and enjoy the festivities as the square becomes a hive of activity filled with free, family-friendly entertainment.
Or go and see some of Ireland’s finest musicians with family and friends at the New Year's Day Concert in Dublin Castle, featuring performances from live favourites.
The full New Year’s Festival Dublin programme will be announced in November, but there really is something for everyone in the Irish capital this New Year, so get booking and bring the family.
