District 8 has announced its plans for re-opening in Jam Park in Swords when lockdown and restrictions are lifted and things are safe to do so.
The promoters have put together the following lineup:
- Adult Store
- Bodytonic DJs
- Boots & Kats
- Bowsie
- DART
- DJ Deece
- Efa O’Neill
- EMA
- George Feely
- Kaily / Karl Guest
- Kaycee
- Lee Kelly
- Long Island Sound
- Mango x Mathman (Live)
- Quinton Campbell
- Sarah Mooney
- Sohotsospicy
- Yasmin Gardezi
Tickets are on sale for it now priced at €27.84 but as this is post-lockdown and no date can be announced so here’s the plan.
– With your ticket, you’ll get to enjoy the first night back at District 8 as soon as it’s safe to do so.
– The date will be announced at a later date once we’re able to adhere to all HSE measures that are in place.
– Your ticket money helps all the artists: we will be advancing fees to each act in order to help them out at this time.
– The ticket money also helps us cover some the costs from all the rescheduled shows and continue planning more District 8 events.
– The date we pick will be the first available Friday or Saturday night that it’s possible for us to reopen properly as District 8 in our new home in Jam Park.
