After a sold-out debut festival in Limerick earlier this year and with next year’s event at TUS Gaelic Grounds nearing sell-out status, Limerick’s Big Day Out Festival is expanding to Ireland’s biggest venue – the 3Arena!
Produced by Limerick-based company CWB, Big Day Out celebrates the biggest acts of the 90s and 00s. Their inaugural festival in Limerick was a massive success, drawing fans from across the country for an unforgettable day. With a star-studded lineup featuring Peter Andre, Ultrabeat, DJ Sash, Heather Small, and Mark McCabe, next August’s festival promises to be another smash hit. But first, the Big Day Out heads to Dublin for a special event: Maniac 25.
Maniac 25 will take place at the 3Arena on March 16, 2025, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ireland’s unofficial anthem, ‘Maniac 2000’. Tickets, starting from €46.20, go on sale Friday, November 29, at 9 am.
A Night of Nostalgia and Dance
Hosted by the man behind the anthem himself, Mark McCabe, this one-night-only event will feature some of Europe’s biggest pop acts, turning back the clock for an unforgettable party on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day.
Opening the show is iconic Irish pop group B*Witched, setting the tone for an epic night. Joining the lineup:
Alice Deejay, performing their global hit ‘Better Off Alone’, the track that competed with ‘Maniac 2000’ for chart dominance.
Safri Duo, bringing their electrifying percussion show and the anthemic ‘Bongo Song’ to Ireland for the first time.
SNAP!, the Europop powerhouse behind chart-toppers like ‘Rhythm is a Dancer’, ‘The Power’, and ‘Cult of Snap’, led by the incredible Penny Ford.
N-Trance, performing their Irish classic ‘Set You Free’ alongside other hits.
Cascada, celebrating 20 years of global success with dancefloor favorites like ‘Evacuate the Dancefloor’ and ‘Everytime We Touch’.
The night culminates with Mark McCabe delivering a special performance of ‘Maniac 2000’, marking its 25-year milestone.
