Borderline Festival – returns to The Workmans Club Dublin in 2025

Saturday, 21st February 2025.  Early bird tickets for this two day festival will go on sale from Friday, 15th November at 10am via borderlinefestival.com

Building on the success of its first year, the festival will grow from 16 to 25 artists in its second year. Taking place across three rooms in the Workman’s Club, it will also feature a series of daytime industry talks and panel discussions (line-up to be announced) on Saturday, February 21st, along with late night line-up on both Friday and Saturday. 

Crowned as Time Out Magazine’s ‘Best Things to Do in the World’ for 2024, Borderline showcases both international and Irish artists throughout the weekend. Borderline’s mission is to spotlight emerging talent breaking through, focusing on left-of-centre, forward-facing artists who are pushing boundaries. Borderline provides each act with a platform to showcase their music to an Irish audience.
