Wigwam x Influence Invite: KIRSTY (All Night Long)

What to Expect

Promoters Bodytonic and Influence bring Galway native KIRSTY, described in the event listing as the newly crowned queen of hardcore, to Wigwam’s basement for a four-hour extended set. Rather than a lineup of support acts building to a headline slot, the whole night is handed over to one DJ, which is a format Wigwam uses sparingly and reserves for artists it wants to give real room to develop a set across a full night rather than a tight 90 minutes. The organisers are billing it as the night that kicks off club season in the venue, positioning it as one of the bigger dates on their autumn calendar rather than a routine weekend booking.

Wigwam’s basement room on Middle Abbey Street is built for exactly this kind of set, with a sound system geared toward hard, fast electronic music and a layout that keeps the whole room facing the booth. Hardcore nights in Dublin tend to draw a specific, committed crowd, and a four-hour solo set from an artist with this kind of momentum behind her is likely to be one of the busier nights the venue runs this month.

Getting There

Wigwam is on Middle Abbey Street, close to O’Connell Street. The Luas Red Line stops at Abbey Street directly outside, and Connolly Station is a short walk away. With a 3am finish, Nitelink buses cover several routes from O’Connell Street through the night, and taxis are generally easy to find along the quays nearby.

While You’re in Dublin

Middle Abbey Street is right in the middle of the city centre, close to O’Connell Street and the river Liffey, with Temple Bar and the wider north inner city both within easy walking distance. There is more to see in Dublin and across Co. Dublin.
