11.30am, April 2 nd 2026: Heineken® Ireland today launches Heineken® GREENLIGHT, a new music platform set to take over bank holiday weekends throughout the year. Moving beyond the main stage and into the heart of cities across Ireland, Heineken® GREENLIGHT is built around a simple idea: creating ‘pinch me’ city gig experiences that fill bank holidays with live music across the year, bringing fans closer than ever to their favourite acts.

Kicking off in Dublin over the May bank holiday weekend, Heineken® GREENLIGHT will present an eclectic line-up, featuring over 35 acts across 10 venues in Dublin City. The weekend will be headlined by TOMORA (the new music project between AURORA and The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands) who are set to play their first Irish show at The Button Factory on May 1st. Other unmissable shows include legendary dance duo Basement Jaxx (DJ set), Irish trad-punk troubadours Madra Salach and The Street’s Mike Skinner (DJ set).

About Heineken® GREENLIGHT

Heineken® GREENLIGHT is an invitation to discover new music experiences - it gives fans access to intimate music moments - the ones that bring you closer, spark the best chats, and become the iconic memories you’ll talk about for years to come. Big acts don’t play small gigs – everybody knows that. Well in that case, we invite everybody to watch this space. Because pubs and music venues in your city are set to start punching well above their weight. Artists who feel right at home on main stages, are headed for the main streets in our home cities.

Small venue, small act. Big venue, big act. Gig-goers know that’s the way it is. Until it’s not. Until someone comes along and shakes things up. This May bank holiday weekend, festival regulars will be playing to handfuls of people. We’re gearing up to put on the most intimate shows in town. And you’ll be so close to the artists, you might have to include them in your round.
