Dublin gets a Connection Tour night — and it is not in the city-centre tourist loop. Belfast DJ Daire plays Envy Nightclub in Swords on Saturday 26 September 2026 as part of a regional Ireland run that started in Athlone on Wednesday 16 September.
The tour grew out of a fan poll — where should I play next? — and a push to keep club culture alive beyond the big rooms. Daire’s CV already includes the SSE Arena Belfast, Ebrington Square, the Telegraph Building and Belsonic. This stretch is the regional answer.
