Phibsborough, Thursday 7th May - Sunday 10th May

We’re thrilled to welcome you to Phizzfest 2026 – the weekend when Phibsborough comes alive with the full force of its creativity and community spirit. This year’s programme is one of our richest yet, weaving together big ideas and bold artistry with our neighbourhood’s unmistakable buzz.

Across performances, literature, screenings, talks and exhibitions, you’ll find powerful reflections on some of the defining issues of our time: home and exile, memory and belonging, and the human stories that emerge from conflict and displacement – as Phizzfest 2026 invites us to look closely at the world we share – and the futures we imagine together.

But it’s also a festival that embraces joy, play and celebration.

In the iconic Dalymount Stadium, you can expect a blistering live set from fast-rising Dublin band Madra Salach, and a very special In Conversation event, The Rodfather, with former Bohs manager Roddy Collins joined by author Paul Howard. Elsewhere are high-energy DJ sets, and intimate gigs from some of Ireland’s most distinctive voices. Add to that a packed programme of comedy, theatre, circus, literary heavyweights, a festival Book Club, children’s events, local walks, wildflower tours, creative workshops and beloved community traditions, and you have a festival weekend that truly has something for everyone.

This is your festival so dive in, explore widely – and enjoy every minute.
