Dublin’s New Year’s celebration is back. New Year’s Festival Dublin (NYF Dublin) tickets are now on sale. With headlines such as Inhaler and BIIRD, the festival will span for several days at the end of December. Celebrations will take over the town, including a Countdown Concert at Dublin Castle, live gigs across the city, trad music sessions, street performance and much more.
Inhaler will headline the main Countdown Concert at Dublin Castle, with early bird tickets priced at €49.90, while general admission tickets go for €59.90. These are on sale on Ticketmaster. The programme also includes a NYF Music Trail on December 30, featuring BIIRD and other Irish acts across various venues around the city.
Trad music is being given a strong platform in this year’s lineup, with dedicated trad sessions and performances built into the schedule. For fans of Irish traditional sounds, this gives a chance to enjoy the old and new together, right beside the contemporary rock and indie offerings.
Whether it’s rocking out with Inhaler, exploring new tunes from BIIRD, or soaking up the atmosphere of trad music in an intimate gig, NYF Dublin promises something for every musical taste. With tickets now available, those planning New Year’s Eve or the nights around it should act fast — events of this size and with this lineup tend to sell quickly.
Also, if you’re budgeting, expect to pay similar amounts to other large concerts in Dublin. For many, the €49.90-€59.90 range sits in line with what you’d pay for big indoor shows; smaller trad gigs might cost less, depending on venue and demand.
If you’re thinking of going, check the NYF Dublin website for full schedule, venues, and ticket links — and maybe plan a few nights out in a row, because with trad music, indie, rock and more all under the festival umbrella, there’s plenty to choose from leading up to New Year’s Eve.
