I’m over (first time ever) next August. Going to The RDS Arena (me neither?) and will probably FLY over from Birmingham.
Hints and tips on flights, places to stay, places to visit all gratefully accepted

Tell Me About Dublin

Echoing this big time, temple bar is full of pubs where you can pay upwards of €7 for a pint Some nicer ‘traditional’ pubs in the city centre for yer lovely Guinness would be Kehoe’s, Grogan’s, Toner’s (great beer garden), Doyle’s For craft beer wankery, Against the Grain, P Mac’s, Black Sheep are all good Whelan’s for yer pub playing indie tunes with a nightclub attached. Workman’s and Grand Social are also great late bar/clubs with an indie/alt bent

If you’re flying to Dublin I’d recommend flying into Dublin Airport tbqh

Have never been to the RDS, they used to have loads of gigs there but it doesn’t seem quite as heavily in use since they renovated The Point. What’s on?

I don’t know how easy it is to get to, but you can often get cheap ferries directly to Dublin from Holyhead, which only take around 2 hours
