333. One Day. Three Floors. Super Special. Sold Out.
May 28, 2026
We’ve always believed that the best thing a hotel can do for a neighbourhood is listen to it. Don’t import culture, support what already exists in that place. Dublin has an extraordinary creative community who live and breathe their music, food, art and conversation. 333 was built around a simple idea that came out of that understanding: give that community a proper home for a day and get out of the way.
Across three floors and one long, brilliant Saturday, that’s exactly what happened. Building on what came before last November, refining what really worked, executing with the exacting attention to detail and programming that made the first edition such a success.
At the heart of the whole day was Club 333 in The Devlin Bar, curated by Arveene, DJ, producer, curator, and the visionary force behind 333. Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, Andy Bell of Ride and Glok, Kelly-Anne Byrne and Roo Kavanagh, and Nialler9 made up the line-up that ran day into night, with the coherence that comes from a curator who really cares about how music moves through a room.
Up on the rooftop and drenched in sunlight, with views of Dublin all the way to the mountains, the tempo shifted to a more chill space, with the stage set for conversation, culture and a buzzy, relaxed vibe. DJ sets sat alongside talks, installations and a holistic experience set to music by Space Between. Starting the day off, All We Have Are Days and Denise Chaila hosted a conversation about cultural spaces past, present and future, with Aidan Kelly, Rory Sweeney and Aoife Nic Canna. Sets from Emmy Shigeta blended ambient, city pop and underground J-pop, and Graham Smyth from 2FM played deeply meditative ambient sounds as the sun blazed down behind the mountains. Aoife Ní Canna closed the loop with a downtempo hip hop set.
Also served on the rooftop was lunch / dinner with a view, or as it was known on the night, Linner. This was a one-sitting, communal dining experience featuring guest chefs Robin Gill, Kevin Burke, Leticia Miranda and talent from the likes of Library Street and Orwell Road. A culinary masterstroke, we might even have spotted desserts getting swiped when the owner wasn’t fully paying attention.
This time out, the basement was added to the mix. Club 303 became a deep techno environment, helmed by some of the originators of the Irish club scene. Stripped back, red-lit and immersive, with DJs Alan Carbery and Pat Hyland holding things down with their inimitable underground energy. In the basement cinema, a special club culture photo exhibition and talk by Only Camera In The Room had audiences hanging on every word that made for a truly special atmosphere in this intimate space.
Arveene said after the event: “333 was always about creating something that reflects the energy and creativity of Dublin right now, bringing together music, food and culture in a way that feels natural, not forced. The response last year showed there’s a real appetite for that kind of experience, and this year we built on it.”
333 also continued its partnership with Ranelagh Community Response, with a portion of proceeds going towards local initiatives so they can continue their stellar work.
Thank you to everyone who came, to the artists, the chefs, the speakers, and to the team at The Devlin who made it all happen with their usual grace and good energy. Dublin, you showed up. See you next year.
