What’s on in Dublin
The City that has something for everyone
In Dublin, visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to entertainment. The city offers the best in theatre, film and literary festivals, sporting events, rock concerts, céilís and comedy.
Located in the heart of the city, The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) is only a short walk from The O2, which hosts some of the biggest names in international and Irish rock and pop. If you prefer classical music, the National Concert Hall is home of some of the world’s finest classical and jazz musicians.
Dublin is also well-known for its outstanding playwrights, actors and theatre in general. The Abbey Theatre, Ireland’s national theatre, is just a stone’s throw from The CCD and offers a tradition of Irish and international theatre, which is unrivalled in the world. In addition, there are a number of theatres offering a selection of productions including The Gate, The Olympia and The Gaiety. Another great addition to Dublin’s cultural scene is the newly opened Grand Canal Theatre, which has already hosted some world-class events.
Throughout the year, Dublin also hosts a variety of events to suit all ages, tastes and genres, from outdoor festivals and art exhibitions, to special exhibitions and cultural activities. It is worth checking out Visit Dublin Events listing ahead of coming to The CCD, so that you can plan to include all the city has to offer during your stay.
