Dublin’s New Year’s Eve festival has been cancelled due to new Covid-19 restrictions.
Six events were planned across the city to ring in the new year, including a sold-out countdown concert at Dublin Castle with Picture This, Lyra and Ryan Sheridan.
Hudson Taylor, RóisÃn O and Fia Moon were also due to perform a New Year’s Eve matinée at Dublin Castle, while Gavin James was set to take to the stage on January 1, 2022.
Announcing the cancellations, Fáilte Ireland tweeted: “Following the Government’s announcement of new public health measures, @Failte_Ireland, with @DubCityCouncil and their event partners, has taken the decision to cancel @NYFDublin.”
“Ticketholders will be contacted directly over the coming days and will receive a full refund,” they added.
