Based Festival

This event has ended

Button Factory, Sunday 28th June

The all-ages music festival BASED is back for its ninth installment on June 28th. Based will return to the Button Factory for another unforgettable night of emerging indie rock acts from around Ireland.

An all-ages and alcohol-free music festival, BASED was created to address the lack of inclusive and accessible events for a younger generation of artists and music fans. Now in their ninth installment, BASED gives young artists a place to perform, develop, and have fun. The festival is the first of its kind in Ireland and has helped to foster a vibrant emerging music scene. Attendees can expect captivating music as well as cutting-edge production featuring visual effects and state-of-the-art lighting.

Presented by Fluttertone, champions of independent music in Ireland for a decade, BASED festival director Colm wants to provide a stage for young artists as well as safe shows for young music fans. He says, “The demand for all-ages shows and the support for a new generation of musicians in Ireland has led to the success of our festivals. There’s so many great bands with nowhere to perform because they're not 18. We provide a much-needed platform for emerging bands.”

BASED is committed to creating an inclusive and respectful atmosphere. BASED has teamed up with Safe Gigs Ireland, a non-profit organization who provide the events with dedicated volunteers to help ensure safety and a positive presence. Medics will be on-site, and extra security, provided by Fluttertone and approachable Safe Gigs staff.

Pavilion Theatre

Foggy Notions & Pavilion Theatre presents Dún Laoghaire Folk Fest 2026 at Pavilion Theatre September 9th – 13th. This is the third edition of Dún Laoghaire Folk Fest, a project we started with Pavilion Theatre in 2021 during COVID, when only 50 people could attend each show! Surreal times, but fond memories. A second edition followed in 2022 with full houses, and it’s great to be back after a three-year gap supported by the Pavilion’s Patron Award. We greatly appreciate their support for independent promoters, curators, performers and producers in this challenging climate. Th

Dublin Independent Fashion Week

Various Locations

Dublin Independent Fashion Week was founded in 2023 by a group of designers who recognised a gap in Ireland's fashion landscape: the lack of an accessible, independent platform dedicated to supporting homegrown talent. Built by volunteers, DIFW was created to give designers opportunities to showcase their work, connect with new audiences, and build sustainable careers on their own terms. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a week-long programme of runway shows, exhibitions, workshops, and community-led events. Today, DIFW continues to grow its platform, partnerships, and
