Weekender: |wiːkˈɛndə|– noun – what to do in Dublin this weekend.
CIAN NUGENT NIGHT FICTION LAUNCH GIG
Friday 12 February | Grand Social | 7.30pm, €10
The cover star of January’s issue celebrates the release of his stellar new record, Night Fiction, with a celebratory evening of tunes and good times.

Full details and tickets available here.
DUBLIN VINTAGE FACTORY – KILO WAREHOUSE SALE
Saturday 13 February | Dublin Vintage Factory, Smithfield Square | 11am
Akin to a Supermarket Sweep for well turned out millennials, The Dublin Vintage Factory are bringing their Kilo Warehouse Sale to their new HQ in Smithfield. All gear is bought priced by weight (€20/kilo) so why not stock up on flannel shirts and power-suits for the centenary season ahead. Full details can be found here.
THIRTY FOUR SATURDAYS w/ WOUNDED HEALER
Saturday 13 February | Thirty Four, 34 Lennox Street, Portobello | 2pm
Thirty Four is a café-cum-headquarters run by Home Beat founder Emmet Condon, and Thirty Four Saturdays is a series of miniature concerts that they will be hosting across February and March. The series kicked off last weekend with a performance from Come On Live Long, and this Saturday sees Wounded Healer – the new alias for Sorcha McGrath of Ships. A good way to start a Saturday afternoon, and the coffee ain’t half bad either. Check out their future line-ups here.
ALL FUR NO KNICKERS
Saturday 13 February | Secret Location | 11pm, €15.90/€12.80
Dressed up to the nines in faux fur, pink neon and Courvoisier, All Fur No Knickers is a night of tacky, opulent Valentine’s weekend fun from those darling party planners Hunt & Gather. There’s live music from Code, Tara Stewart and Colin Divine and a full bar at their secret (shhhh) location. Details here and tickets available from here.
