Metropolis
The hottest new festival of the year, Metropolis, is arriving to Dublin this weekend. The indoor event will take place in RDS on the 7th and 8th of November, and has a stellar line-up of acts including Mark Ronson, Nile Rodgers, La Galaxie and Jamie xx.

The Dirty Dancing Show
Fancy having the time of your life this weekend? If so, this Dirty Dancing Show is definitely where you need to be. The show will see four performers arrive in from London’s Westend to sing and dance along to some of our favourite tunes from all the biggest musicals, including Dirty Dancing, Grease, Fame and Footloose – this a mash-up we’re loving the sound of! The show will be wowing the masses in The Braid Arts Centre in Antrim this weekend, and is definitely something we won’t be missing.
