Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Mother is a queer club institution in Dublin. A home for electronic, synth, disco and all things dancefloor ready. Every Saturday night we take over Lost Lane for our weekly club, creating a space where the music is upfront, the atmosphere is electric, and the door policy is simple: over 21, be sound, be yourself.
Across the year, we host some of the city’s most beloved queer gatherings, from our legendary Bank Holiday Sunday parties to our annual Pride celebrations, Daytime Dance Party series, and special one-off events.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re expanding our calendar with new seasonal experiences including Imbolc and Halloween parties, alongside the major festival moments Mother has become known for. At the heart of everything we do is community, creativity, and the joy of coming together on the dance floor.
Both the Friday June 26th and Saturday June 27th editions of the 2026 Mother Pride Block Party are on Sale now. Check out the tickets here.
