We’re looking forward to summer in PREMIER SUITES serviced apartment accommodation in Dublin City. Book your stay today to avoid disappointment in what promises to be a busy summer season.
Enjoy Summer in the City
We may not have the warm climate of our European neighbours, but as soon as the temperature in Dublin surpasses 15 degrees the city goes into summer mode. We have a selection of city centre parks to enjoy a tasty lunch al fresco or tire the kids out in playgrounds. Close to our accommodation in Ballsbridge, make the most of the beautiful Herbert Park, a gorgeous green space with a playground, sports fields, walking routes, a café and more. In the heart of the city, Stephens Green is a main attraction, with its well-manicured lawns, large play area and gorgeous flowerbeds. Iveagh Gardens is Dublin’s secret garden, hidden in plain sight close to Stephens Green. It’s frequented by lovers of peace and plenty of office workers who want to escape for an hour at lunch.
Gigs in Dublin
The selection of gigs in Dublin this summer is truly fantastic with something for everyone from heavy metal to the lightest pop music. 3Arena hosts Olivia Rodrigo, Andrea Rieu, Bryan Adams, Girls Aloud and more in May. Kicking off a busy June, The Killers will rock the 3arena, Kings of Leon are in Marlay Park, and Fatboy Slim perform at Dublin Fairview Park. Pink is bringing her Carnival tour and Taylor Swift has three sold-out shows in Dublin Aviva Stadium in June. July is just as busy with Stevie Nicks, Megan Thee Stallion, Paul Weller, Nicki Minaj, Paloma Faith, Manic Preachers & Suede all confirmed dates in various venues around the city.
Festivals in Dublin
There is always a festival in Dublin and Summer is when the events calendar comes alive. In May, the International Literature Festival celebrates our island of storytellers in a city where books are treasured drawing crowds and sometimes famous faces from the literary world. Forbidden Fruit is the first big music festival of the summer, taking place on the June Bank Holiday 2024 on the grounds of Kilmainham Royal Hospital. Dublin’s yearly LGBTQ+ festival, Pride, takes place every June. With a parade, two festival grounds and countless events taking place across the city, Dublin is the place to be on the weekend of 29th June. The biggest music festival in Dublin, Longitude, descends on Marlay Park on the 29th & 30th of July. Headliners include Doja Cat, Sonny Fodera, Becky Hill and Belters Only.
