The behemoth of culture that is Dublin Fringe Festival, returns this September for its 2023 issue offering the city limitless possibilities, and so much of the best in new art experiences and live performances from across the arts spectrum. Unveiling its mammoth festival programme today, Dublin Fringe renders itself like a pop-up town, breathing life into the city and setting the compass for how to navigate our identities in the playground of our recovered metropolis, while also exploring how we work, date, dance, and exist. Amplifying artists’ voices, the 29th edition of Dublin Fringe will guide these visionary architects to infuse vitality into every nook and cranny of our thriving city, weaving a tapestry of boundless creativity, diversity, and vision. From pioneering theatre productions to mesmerising dance performances, from immersive installations to unforgettable nights out, each event has been meticulously curated to ignite your imagination and leave an enduring imprint on your soul. It is these brave storytellers who make the city worth living in. Let's go!

This year Dublin Fringe Festival hosts 79 events while giving 562 performances in 32 venues, boasting 45 world premieres, 18 Irish premieres and 9 Dublin premieres, where over 560 artists are set to take over the city. Welcome to the 2023 Dublin Fringe Festival, where art defies boundaries, and the possibilities are truly extraordinary.

As Dublin Fringe creates new spaces in the city for art and artists alike, the 2023 edition will bust us out of solitude in a ball of joyous, communal energy. The artists in this year’s programme will draw us through the windows of cramped Dublin apartments, connect us to the bloom of nature in urban spaces and bring us to secret spaces. Expect audio experiences around Europe’s largest enclosed park, intimate shows for one in a bathroom, and a show in the back of mini-cab. All of the artists will be making moves: thinking, dancing, laughing, scrawling sense into the streets, breathing life into this new little pop-up Fringe town. While showing us the forgotten gust and pulse of the beating ecosystem that is our city. We need to follow their lead!
