More info on the artists below.
Nocturnal Animals is a Dublin-based international collective of visual creators, DJs, and music producers, who have put on events at Centre Point, Wigwam, and The Sugar Club. Nocturnal Animals is their biggest event yet.
“Vibrant, intense electronic tunes, lasers and lights transporting the kick of the drum, immersed by futuristic landscapes and ever evolving organisms – an alternative reality to get lost in and leave everything else outside. Become part of a new era of electronic music events in Dublin.”
The gig takes place from 7pm to 1am this Saturday and tickets are available on Eventbrite priced from €35.
