Heineken GREENLIGHT - Dublin May Bank Holiday 2026

What to Expect

Heineken GREENLIGHT transforms Dublin’s May Bank Holiday weekend into a city-wide music takeover, running from Thursday 30 April through Sunday 3 May 2026. Over 35 acts perform across 10 venues in Dublin city centre, with a lineup that spans electronic, dance, indie, trad-punk and everything in between. This is a new format for the capital, spreading the festival experience across multiple beloved venues rather than concentrating everything on one site.

The headline attraction is TOMORA, the exciting new duo formed by Norwegian pop superstar AURORA and Tom Rowlands of legendary big beat pioneers The Chemical Brothers, who take over the Button Factory on 1 May. Other must-see performances include legendary dance duo Basement Jaxx DJing at Pygmalion on 2 May, a DJ set from The Streets’ Mike Skinner at Wigwam, and a set from Sherelle, alongside Sprints, SAOIRSE, Vaticanjail, Lil Skag and many more. The trad-punk newcomers Madra Salach play an intimate show at Mary’s Bar on 30 April.

With each venue bringing its own character to the event, GREENLIGHT offers a bank holiday weekend where you can move between spaces and discover both familiar favourites and exciting new acts. Tickets for individual shows and multi-venue passes are available from the Heineken GREENLIGHT website.
