Bank holidays are always busy in clubland and the one to mark the day when the nation turns green is no exception. For bass bad-boys, Breakology’s takeover of Mud (Friday, Dublin) is a must-see with Shut Up and Dance, Dread Zone and much more.
Fans of superstar DJs can take their pick from Laurent Garnier (Tuesday, Dublin, pictured right), Paul Van Dyk (Friday, Dublin) and a Meganite bash with Mauro Picotto, Fergie and Steve Lawler (Saturday, Belfast).
Clubland connoisseurs may prefer Andrew Weatherall’s one-night stand at Pogo (Tuesday, Dublin) or London house dude Wbeeza out west at Lowerstate (Wednesday, Galway).
There’s even a festival buzz on the schedule, with the Yes Festival bringing two dozen mad-for-it DJs and live acts to Dublin’s Eastpoint Business Park, while the 12 Paddys Day Party is a blowout for the day that’s in it from the Bodytonic crew. Be careful
out there.
