WAKE
The Best Show in Town

 

Previous:
6-23 March 2024
World Premiere September 2022

WAKE, the smash-hit theatrical phenomenon, returns to Dublin’s National Stadium from 6-23 March.

From THISISPOPBABY, the makers of international sensation RIOT, WAKE is a home-grown arena party showcasing the very best of contemporary Ireland.

Expect wild acrobatics, trad-with-a-twist, searing hot circus and outrageous cabaret in an electric night out for you and your very best pals.

WAKE is a high-octane, heart-thumping celebration of life, of togetherness, of grabbing the ones you hold dear and screaming, ‘I Love You’ over the music.

Described as “the moment we’ve all been waiting for” (The Irish Times) and “the best show in town” (The Arts Review), WAKE is the entertainment event of the decade, and everybody is invited.

Originally created with support of The Arts Council of Ireland, Irish Arts Center New York, Dublin Fringe Festival, Dublin City Council and Cork Opera House.
