A late night electronic music and clubbing event has been added to Dublin's St Patrick's Day celebrations.

Five venues will take part in St Patrick's After Dark, across three nights, from Saturday March 15th.

The initiative has been organised by Dublin City Council’s Night-Time Economy Advisor and St Patrick’s Festival Dublin.

The three night experience is to feature both local and international talent at Index, Pygmalion, Wigwam, The Complex and The South House.

The line-up features Patrick Mason, DJ Tennis, and Gerd Janson, alongside local talent such as Sharpson, Colin Perkins, Ping Pong Girls, and Slither, to name a few.

Dublin's night-time economy advisor Ray O'Donoghue expressed his excitement about the programme.

"I’m really delighted about being involved with the world-renowned St. Patrick’s Festival and absolutely stoked that they’ve introduced a late-night programme for the first time. It really is a top-tier line-up of international and local acts spread over the three days," he said.

With limited venue capacity, early ticket purchase is recommended.
