The Scratch, Curtisy, Junior Brother and more to play special 'Save The Complex' events this week

The Scratch, Curtisy, Junior Brother, BIG SLEEP, Cruel Sister and more are set to perform at The Complex this week to support the venue.

The events will run from today, Wednesday, December 17, until Friday, December 19 at 6 p.m. daily at The Depot at The Complex. All gigs are free. See the full line-up of acts and special guests below.

Earlier this month, the cultural and arts space was given a notice to quit its premises, giving it until January 14, 2026 to vacate. A petition was then launched, aiming to get Dublin City Council, Politicians and The Arts Council to take acton to save the venue. At the time of writing it has over 15,700 signatures.

"The Complex [is] an arts space that is home to exhibitions, gigs, sober raves, storytelling events, over-the-top wrestling and even an early Fontaines D.C. show," reads the petition.

"It’s one of the last large independent event spaces we have left." "Each time a space disappears, so does a community. Dublin doesn’t just have a housing crisis it also has a culture crisis."

The gigs will follow today's rally to save the venue, where supporters are set to march from The Complex to Dáil Éireann to deliver the petition.
