DIY Play at the Smock Alley Theatre

Ever watched a play and wished things could have happen differently?

Well, this DIY play is right up your street.

In a theatre experience like no other, audience members are invited to help characters solve a comedy mystery – or make it harder for them.

The best part is the actors will be as surprised as you are!

The cast on July 15 will include Anthony Kinehan Michelle McMahon Matthew O’Brien and the shows kicks of at 8:00pm.

Tickets are €10.00 and are available here. 

The Great Gatsby at the Gate Theatre

The Gate theatre is inviting audiences into one of Jay Gatsby's legendary parties.

For the summer of 2017 only, seats will be removed and chandeliers will be lowered, transforming the auditorium into the Gatsby Mansion.

Step back in time for this immersive adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel which puts you at the heart of the action.

Expect music, cocktails and scandal as you follow the action around all areas of the Gate.

While the cast will be attired in exquisite 1920’s costumes designed by Peter O’Brien, audiences are also encouraged to dress in 1920’s style.

Shows run from July 6 – September 16, 2017 and tickets ( €28 – €42) are available here.

Ladies, if you're heading to Longitude this weekend, it's definitely worth your while heeding the advice of the good folk over at Met Éireann.

According to reports, forecasters have told music fans to expect a weekend of sun and high temperatures which means reapplying your sunscreen is more important than reapplying your glitter over the next two days.

A spokesperson for Met Éireann spoke to The Sun and confirmed that the sun is set to shine over Marlay Park this weekend.

"Gig goers should definitely bring sun tan lotion as we believe the sun burn index will be high. Tomorrow will be muggy and close at Longitude. It will be fairly fine into the evening."

"Sunday will be a warm, dry sunny day, maybe not as warm but a bright, fresh day all the same," they added.

According to their official website, Saturday will be "warm, humid and blustery with top temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees in northern and western areas and 21 to 24 degrees elsewhere."

So, to be clear, your ticket and your suncreen are the biggest priorities if you're Longitude-bound, ladies.

Festival season is well and truly upon us and while we are pumped about the live performances and amazing food, we can't help but think of it as an opportunity to get creative with our hair and makeup regimes.

Longitude is the place to be this weekend, and with thousands of festival-goers due to descend on the gates of Marlay park the style and beauty stakes will be high AF.

But never fear, because we've compiled a list of some of the most beautiful festival looks that are sure get those creative juices flowing: 

Glitter Lips 

Who cares if you have to re-apply every 10 minutes? It'll be so worth it. 

Hair Rings

A simple and effective way to jazz up those french braids.

Delicate Gold Dots

A subtle take on the festival look. 

Sunset Eyeshadow 

This one takes some serious MUA skills, but hey, if you've got it flaunt it.

Starry Eyed

Let everyone know who the real star of the show is. 

Futuristic 

You'd be surprised how creative you can get with white eyeliner.

Glitter Brows 

Old but gold!

Confession: I have never been to a festival before.

I know, I know… total shocker.

Back in the day (OK, around eight years ago), Oxegen was the place to be.

My friends in school all got tickets for Christmas or birthdays – but because I was the baby of the class, my mother wouldn't allow me to go (you're still not forgiven, mam).

And the year I turned 18? Oxegen was cancelled.

Throughout the years, I've looked out for other festivals to go to, but if I'm honest, none of them really took my fancy. 

I feel like I am the only twenty-something in Ireland to never have experienced the festival scene… but now, I'm popping my festival cherry.

This weekend, I will head along to Longitude, and I'm both excited and a little bit nervous.

Nervous, because I really don't know what to expect.

How will the day begin and end? How much money will I have to bring? How will I get home? What if I lose my friends? 

 

A post shared by Longitude Festival (@longitudefest) on

But even with those thoughts gathering at the back of my mind, the thoughts of excitement are bursting free.

So far, my mates have planned out the day pretty well; pre-drinks and glam time at 12.30pm, grab a taxi at 2.30pm, arrive and check out the performers at 4pm… and then party 'til our hearts' content until 2am (or until my body gives up on me).

The day sounds like a total dream, but the three things I'm really looking forward to the most are music, fashion and friends.

The music – obviously, festivals are centred around music, and the acts I'm most looking forward to seeing at Longitude is The Weeknd (obvs), Mumford & Sons, Mac Miller, All Tvvins, Skepta, Villagers and Jack Garratt.

Apparently, I've set my hopes too high and won't get to see all of the bands I want to see… but I'm determined to prove my mates wrong. How hard can it be?

The fashion – when I walk by people on the street I look out for cool style and daring fashion choices, and this is going to be no different.

One thing I need to remember though; it's not Coachella… I will not see Givenchy kimonos and Lavin dresses… but I still want to see the most extra style Longitude has to offer. 

The craic – music and fashion are two of my great loves, but there's nothing better than chilling and catching up with good friends.

I'm also very intrigued to try out Heineken's new Live Your Music rooms, which allow you to control the sounds, mood and visuals of the atmosphere (which basically means I can custom-build my own nightclub to rock out in).

From pre-drinks to after-festival plans, I'll be with the best b*tches I know, and I can't wait to soak in the atmosphere and have a laugh with the fab ladies in my life.

My friends might be right – I've probably set my hopes too high and have no idea what I will encounter as I step foot onto a muddy Marlay Park.

But after this weekend, and after my first festival experience, I will report back and let you guys know exactly how I got on.

Is festival life for me?

The countdown is on and we're now only two days away from Longitude 2017.

With acts like Stormzy, The Weeknd, Mac Miller and Mumford & Sons taking centre stage throughout the weekend, you certainly won't want to miss out.

And now, to make things that little bit easier for us, the festival has created an app to help us out during the weekend.

From the line up, to the schedule, and information on security and locations, we don't know how we survived any other festival without a handy app to help us along.

You'll also be the first to find out about any important festival news, traffic updates and much more through the push notifications.

If you fancy downloading the app, it's available on both iPhone and Android, and you can check it out here.

Longitude is just around the corner, but if you didn't manage to secure tickets to one of the hottest festivals of the year, never fear. 

You could still be in with a chance of winning tickets to the three day festivities, along with tickets to Electric Picnic and Lowlands festival, Amsterdam, to boot. 

Casa Bacardí is returning to Longitude this year, and if you haven't ventured to the covetable party area at a previous festival before, this year is definitely the time to check it out. 

 

A post shared by Lorena Chinnici (@lorena_c89) on

The creative Bacardí mixologists will be on hand at the Latin street-culture meets modern day music saturated area to showcase their cocktail skills to festival attendees, as well as hosting mojito masterclasses.

To kick off the party spirit, Bacardí is giving away a pair of weekend tickets to Longitude, Electric Picnic and Lowlands along with return flights to Amsterdam.

The beverage brand is asking festival fans to get in the throwback mood of nostalgia by recalling their favourite mojito moment. 

 

A post shared by Bacardi Ireland (@bacardiireland) on

Whether it was a mojito mix of your own enjoyed on a summer evening or a delicious cocktail experience from a previous Casa Bacardí experience, sharing these moments will get you in with a chance to win.  

Simply share an image on social media using the hashtag #MojitoMoment, tag the friend you shared it with, and you could be in with a chance of winning the ultimate summer festival experience. 

Headliners at Longitude this year include Stormzy, The Weekend, Jack Garrat and Milky Chance.
