1. Countdown Concert at Custom House Quay
Get ready for a New Year’s Eve night to remember!
Following sold-out tours across Europe and headlining major Irish arenas and outdoor concerts this year, Walking On Cars are set to top off 2019 by headlining this year’s Countdown Concert at Custom House Quay. Walking On Cars will ring in 2020 with special guests Ash, Aimee, and Lisa McHugh. Concert goers will also be able to enjoy the “solar symphony” display that will be video mapped onto the walls and buildings surrounding Custom House Quay. Images of hurtling comets, shooting stars and spiraling Galaxies will be accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra and other musicians.

way to start the New Year.
