Get ready for Metropolis Festival this weekend!

Metropolis Festival is a brand new indoor winter music festival taking place at RDS, Dublin this weekend, 7 and 8 November. The festival, which features eight different arenas, will play host to some incredible DJs and live music from some of the world’s leading artists. There will also be Conversations (a series of panels and talks) from some of the main influencers in the modern music industry. The festival will also have some amazing art installations and creative spaces, including a spectacular stage setting by Arcadia who have been a favourite at Glastonbury for many years. In conjunction with Dublin’s favourite art-house cinema, Light House, Metropolis will be screening two films – 24 Hour Party People on Saturday and Metropolis on Sunday. The festival runs from 12:00 – 00:00 on Saturday and 12:00 – 23:30 on Sunday.

Festival go-ers will need their ticket and ID to enter, as this is strictly an over 18’s event. There will be an ATM on site. Credit and debit cards may be used at the bar, but food facilities accept cash only.
