Hard Working Class Heroes takes over seven venues for three nights (2 rooms in The Academy, The Grand Social, The Workman’s Club, The Mercantile, Hangar and Bad Bob’s) with 100 Irish bands playing (my picks are here) to fans, international delegates and local industry.
There are (free gigs in the city during the afternoon and the convention in the NDRC of panels and talks to which anyone can attend.
If you’re looking for something a little more charitable: State and Hope Promotion’sWe Shall Overcome event raises money for Simon Community with live punk and rap acts filling the bill.

possibly the stupidest name ever for a music festival.
Probably should’ve told them that 13 years ago
HWCH is an acronym for Housewives with Children… and I can never get that out of my head when this event comes round :)
…also the gender neutral ‘Housekeepers with…’
that’s my little geek out
Ah, HWCH 2005, the event at which I ensnared the man with my female charm. 10 years later, and we are laden down with childers…
Who may be babysat this weekend, while we revisit old haunts. Dublin, beware the randy parents!!
