Countdown Concert Matinee

New Year’s Festival Dublin has unveiled the line up for the Countdown Concert Matinee, taking place at the Dublin Castle on New Year’s Eve. Enjoy live performances from The Academic, with special guests THEATRE, KK Lewis and DJ Shelly Gray Friends of all ages can also enjoy a magical midnight moment together at a very special earlier countdown event.

Revered for their dynamic live shows, The Academic’s infectious blend of buoyant guitar hooks and poignant lyrics about teenage escapades has resonated far beyond their origins. Grounded in a commitment to authenticity and inspired by classic influences like The Kinks, Talking Heads, and The Velvet Underground, the band has built a deep, genuine connection with fans while commanding stages across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

They will be joined by special guests THEATRE, one of Ireland’s most unique rising talents, who weave an intricate blend of gothic, ethereal rock, folk, and shoegaze; KK Lewis, a Dublin singer-songwriter blending soul, R&B, and pop who stands as one of Ireland’s most exciting artists to watch; and DJ Shelly Gray who will be playing all the hits!
