Guide to Metropolis 2017 - Part Two

Metropolis Festival 2017


Info: The award-winning Metropolis Festival returns for the third year this coming October bank holiday weekend, kicking off on Saturday, 28th of October at the RDS in Dublin 4. Ireland's largest indoor festival will be spread across six stages and feature a mix of international household names such as Leftfield, Laurent Garnier and Richie Hawtin, as well as rising local heavy hitters. The two-day music extravaganza has been a massive success since its inaugural outing in 2015 which was a sell-out, previously hosting the likes of DJ Shadow, Grace Jones, The Sugarhill Gang and Hot Chip, it gives music fans in the capital one last hurrah to see out 2017 in style. 
The Sunday night of Metropolis 2017 is going to be chock-a-block full of quality acts with the likes of Norway's finest export Todd Terje leading the way, synth-funk London duo Jungle, the immense Mount Kimbie and the hugely popular local Dublin pair Le Boom as well as Cork's ELLLL being a particular one to watch out for. The festival organisers have also announced the timetable and venue location for the After-Party gigs on both nights which will take place around the city centre at The Button Factory, Hangar, Tengu, Wigwam, Wah Wah Club and The Chelsea Drugstore. There will be very limited tickets at the door of each venue but these are strictly only available to those who have attended the festival on production of a valid ticket and / or wristband.
