The New Year's Eve concert in Dublin city centre has been scrapped in favour of a more "family friendly" event.
This year's festivities are set to take place along the River Liffey, at North Wall Quay, Sir John Rogerson Quay and in the city centre on December 31. And organisers of Dublin New Year's festival are planning a change to the celebrations after last year’s concert had to be cancelled due to a spike in Covid-19 cases.
Last year the planned New Year celebrations included a headline concert by Picture This, afternoon shows at Dublin Castle and a street party near St Stephen's Green.. But to ring in 2023, a family-friendly New Year’s Eve Matinée is planned with an earlier countdown at North Wall Quay from 4pm.
