Dublin Event Guide (12-10-15 – 18-10-15)

By No More Workhorse on October 11, 2015 • ( 3 Comments )

The Dublin Theatre Festival has finally left us, and we can all breathe a sigh of relief. The fear of missing out on the best thing in town is now gone and life can return to normal. Still, there is another festival kicking off, with the Lingo Festival running from the 16th to the 18th, among others. There’s also the Red Line Book Festival from the 11th to the 17th.

On the gig front, there’s Yo La Tengo, but there’s also Albert Hammond, Speedy Ortiz, Pugwash, Sack, Anderson, Adrian Crowley and a few more besides. Go explore below…
