So the Dublin Theatre Festival has departed for another year. Fear not though, there’s a couple of new Festivals on the horizon with the Lingo Festival from the 21st to the 23rd and No Idle Day by the Young Hearts running on the same dates. There’s also Back To Our Past in the RDS, which has a series of lectures on Genealogy and our DNA.

There are plenty of gigs to keep you occupied this week with We Are Scientists (Opium Rooms), Le Butcherettes (The Workman’s Club), Porches (Whelans) and the Sleaford Mods (Vicar Street) and plenty more besides. Go check out the full list below…
