The Next Big Thing Festival

January 21st-24th 2026

The Next Big Thing is back — and for the 5th edition of our flagship festival, we’re celebrating with a four-night takeover of Dublin, packed with the best up-and-coming acts Ireland has to offer.

From January 21st–24th, we return home to the iconic Workman’s Club on Wellington Quay. This year’s lineup features some of our favourite rising artists across every corner of the genre spectrum, including All Girls Piss, Touzai, Spooklet, Girl|Boy, he, the fool, and plenty more still to be announced.

Early bird tickets go on sale Thursday, 20th November 2025 — just €10 for all four nights. There are only 100 available, and once they’re gone, they’re gone!
