Sometimes New Year’s Eve can be a bit of a hassle. That’s why New Year’s Thieves exists this year, the night before on December 30th. It’s a chance to have some relaxed festive fun with some great music, film, A/V surprises, food and drink. Because New Year’s Thieves is a collaborative night featuring some of these best of what Dublin has to offer right now, so we’re bringing it all together before we move onto 2014.
Presented by Happenings with music curated by Nialler9 (that’s me), New Year’s Thieves in The Sugar Club will either be a perfect warmup for NYE or it’ll steal the focus away a bit.
