Open back up the temple theatre 
I used to do some Dj'ing back in the day some amazing house parties I still have all of my old vinal I'm always threatening to dust them off again.
We'd love a night out at a rave or old school night somewhere . |

Always wanted to go to proper rave in an abandoned warehouse or isolated field I went to one on a boat once which was very good fun, but that was nearly ten years ago  |

If anyone is looking for somthing like this as a night out I'd highly recommend Dali Nightclub in Cork City.. Fish Go Deep always put on a Savage show once a month & you'd always catch some decent old skool acts like kerri chandler and more!
I always look forward to Body & Soul every year @ EP but I've fallen in love with All together Now Festival in Waterford.

Went to life festival last year and the year before. There was a serious line up it was brilliant. However it doesn't stop so dont expect a power nap in the campsites at nighttime. Best to have that snooze in the car. Otherwise an absolute great dance festival. Was great line-up this year but was cancelled an I was looking foward too it  |

most of ye are too old
( sorry ) but watch out for an event next year called The boxed off festival.
It's on in punchestown and is indoors in a couple of big festival and circus tents
Its also in the main building and its absolutely brilliant for that type of music
I worked it last year and enjoyed it |

There's no such thing as too old!jesus you'll be ate for saying that.. There plenty of couples in there 60s 70s and still attending events.. Had the pleasure of meeting an Irish couple in there late 50s over in Amsterdam over for a festival (Nothing made but it was all funky disco and house) still in contact with them all the time.
I've actually played at bixed off this last year and it's a brilliant festival!
Ireland is slowly bringing back some good events |

I don't mean anything bad by it but anyone in their 30's and 40's at the festival look like undercover drug cops or security.
Mostly people were in their 20's |

Hopefully ATN makes it back next year because the festivals don't make money in their first few years |

Ahh they sure will! I can see this being one of the most successful festivals in Ireland! These guys were the original creators of Electric Picnic before they sold it but they sure know what there doing |

Best club in Ireland for sure. I still go to Dj nights and always will. I see somewhere say most are here are to old
Why are people to old. House music is my music always will be an if and when we're free again I'll be back at my so called raves
They're more classy these days tho
The only time anyone is to old is when they're dead. Life is for living. I think this virus as proved that
To old my arse
Rant over lol |

This post gave me the biggest smile yet from these forums. I still think the Temple Theatre is the best nightclub Ive ever been in. Its wasn't as flash or as big as the Ibiza clubs but it was a perfect layout for a club like that.
I say it was the best ever for me because I have had more of the best nights of my life in there than any other nightclub I will ever have been in.
One of my favourite moments was Mr Spring Tim Hanagan walking through the dance floor with a steel serving tray full of grapes. Sensational |

just heard a DJ on the radio say that he's a friend of someome connected to one of the biggest nightclubs in the country and that while the staff are getting paid by the government they'll stay closed....once the payments stop the night club is closing down and won't reopen
I'd imagine a lot are in the same boat |

Be hard to see any night clubs reopening this year. Think a lot were struggling anyway. Think house parties are going to be the main night outs now. Small gathering where most people know each other. |

Boxed off is below par.. average line ups and the sound is dirt.. kids that look about 14.. went with a group of 40 year olds a few years back..
Go to cork, limerick or dublin for good nights in clubs if you are looking for quality music. |

I couldn't agree anymore but the nightclub depends on the place aswell. (Size, population, etc) but I'm definitely calling the next two years " The years of the house parties" |

Serious amount of money required between insurance and paying suppliers upfront
Also can't take place until all restrictions are lifted |

Last time I was at a rave there wasn't a great deal of alcohol consumed
Gotta say this is gonna a be a very tricky event to run as you describe it between security, insurance, licencing, access, etc etc |

Cost roughly about 10k without insurance if it’s illegal , between/ alcohol/water/toiletries/ security/buses/first aid personnel/DJ and lighting , wheel barrows to the people back onto the buses when there full of mushy peas |

Not trying to piss on you're parade but I'm in one of the industries you mention
Nobody will work without insurance anymore especially without the go ahead from the authorities to have large scale gatherings

Yes your right it can be done only down side to using clubs or bars is Garda can stop it anytime but if your away in the middle of nowhere with no people living on top of the venue 70% of time your safe |

Recently bought digital decks during the lock down, must be my midlife crisis!!!
Was big time into the dance scene years ago, was into techno, break beat and drum & bass. Have a lot of vinyl from each genre, which I did intend on recording to digital, but decided on buying new tracks. It's a great way to past the time and still get a buzz hearing new tunes. |

"Hoping to get to Berlin and either Berghain or Kit Kat once we can travel again, still able for an all-nighter or two at 52 ( i hope) "
We had the best night of our lives in KitKat last year just before lockdown... Would love to experience Berghain!!
Not in Ireland I know but the Drumcode/Awakenings Festivals are a must!!
Pity District 8 isn't reopening  We saw the Drumcode DJs there in Dec 2019.
Dying to dance again |

Unless the Airbnb place is in the middle of nowhere, I can't really see it as a good thing. People are paranoid out of their heads at the moment and a bunch of auld swinger ravers might be a little bit to suspious. It would have to be a venue, in a field or woods in the middle of nowhere. |
