Dublin Nights Together Stage to Showcase Emerging Talent at Dublin By Night Fest
- Mon, 2 Nov 2026
Dublin City Council’s Night-Time Economy Office is delighted to support a new Dublin Nights Together Stage on Capel Street at this year’s Dublin by Night Fest, bringing an exciting lineup of emerging musical talent to the heart of the city on Saturday, 7 November.
Supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, the stage will feature a diverse selection of Irish artists, including Alky, Hannah Mc Connell, The Wu and Delush, offering audiences the chance to discover new music and enjoy free live performances in the city centre.

Now in its fourth year, Dublin by Night Fest has become a highlight of Dublin’s cultural calendar, transforming the city centre into a vibrant celebration of music, culture and entertainment after dark. The festival is delivered by DublinTown in partnership with Dublin City Council and Fáilte Ireland.
Dublin City Night-Time Economy Advisor Ray O’Donoghue welcomed the initiative:
“We’re delighted to support Dublin by Night Fest this year and to provide a dedicated stage for emerging musical talent. Creating opportunities for artists to perform and bringing accessible cultural experiences into the city centre are important parts of developing Dublin’s night-time economy.”
Introducing Dublin Nights Together
The new stage will also introduce Dublin Nights Together, an initiative being developed by Dublin City Council’s Night-Time Economy Office to bring together projects and partnerships focused on culture, safety and creating a more welcoming city after dark.
Alongside the live music, the Dublin Nights Help Zone, affectionately known as The Nee Naw, will also be operating during the festival, providing on-street welfare, medical and practical assistance to those who need it.
Together, these initiatives reflect Dublin City Council’s commitment to building a vibrant, inclusive and safer night-time city, with culture, transport and safety at the heart of its Night-Time Economy Strategy.
Join us on Capel Street on Saturday, 7 November, from 6pm to 10pm for free live music and a celebration of Dublin after dark.
A wider launch of the Dublin Nights Together initiative is planned for later in November.
