If you don’t know by now, you are either too old to party or living under a rock. So keep the volume on your long wave radio at an acceptable level while you watch a muted repeat of antiques road show in your worn discoloured slippers. Pleb.
Still don’t get what I’m on about??
I am quite clearly referring to one of the most insane party nights of the entire calendar year – LEAVING CERT RESULTS NIGHT!
That’s right, this Wednesday the pinnacle of our youth will be once again descending on the masses and pouring into our streets ready to let as much hair down as Rapunzel on the Eiffel Tower. And what better way to do it than a Massive Rave?
Well thanks to our unrelated namesake promoters Dublin Clubbing Guide and Midnight Events, there is no better option than the All Out Rave in The Turks Head.
With a slogan like “Go Hard or Go Home”, our latest motley crew of leaving cert students will have high expectations. And with a reported 15 gallons of Glow Paint, 1000 jumpsuits and 5 UV cannons, I very much doubt they will be disappointed. The venue is also boasting an indoor smoking area on the night (legal loophole maybe?) so for those non conformist smokers it should be quite a treat. The Main Rave Room will have resident DJs mashing up some of the filthiest Electro around, and they may as well lock the door – because with 3 Euro drinks all night you won’t want to leave.
For those not as inclined to rave all night (if they exist), or if you are just running out of steam, the Front Bar will play host to live bands throughout the night.
Its early doors at 9:30pm, and Admission is 8 Euro with cheaplist or flyer, or you can pay at the door.
For all the deets on the Rave and how to get on the cheaplist, visit the Facebook page below. And if you think you can get away with it, give homage to us old timers by requesting a bit of Hardcore Vibes or, the always classic, Maniac. Go on, you’ll love it.

Dublin CLubbing Guide: Mr Jones Presents - SWITCH
Ok, ok, everybody needs to stop harassing me on the streets with props on Goldenplec’s weekly tips on where to get your rave on, because it’s only going to get worse as the tips keep coming and I may be forced to live in fear as a hermit….
In reality we are encouraging our readers to post comments or email any suggestions of their own and they might just get their pick (and a mention) on the site! So feel free people and if it proves popular we may introduce some prizes in the future for the best pick.
But I digress…
This week we are heading back to the Bodytonic buzz of Mr. Jones in Twisted Pepper. This Thursday welcomes one half of the collaborative music project (and cartoon character) Major Lazer.
For those who do not know Major Lazer’s background, be prepared:
A Jamaican commando who had his arm torn off during the 1984 Zombie Wars, he now battles the undead on his rocket powered hoverboard. There is no evidence to corroborate this story, but it still absolute fact.
SWITCH – who teamed up with producer Diplo to form the project, had great success recently with the album Guns Don’t kill People… Lazers Do and is back on our shores with some sweet solo sounds ready to collectively melt face.
Boasting collaborations with the likes of M.I.A. and Santigold but to name a few, expect Switch to tear the place down with some heavy beats along with new tunes from the recent EP Lazers Never Die. The new EP, which was released on June 20th, featured 2 new songs and 3 mixes from the eminence of such artists as Thom Yorke (yeah, I Know!). Support on the night will be provided by the Mr. Jones regular Shortie, and there is some disgustingly good drinks promotions listed in great detail on their facebook page, so check it out to get a better grasp of just how stupid you would be if you didn’t attend.
Doors are at 11pm and admission is EUR10 or EUR8 with a student card.
So head to Twisted Pepper for some banging tunes and get ready to REACH FOR THE LAZERS!

GOLDENPLEC DUBLIN CLUBBING GUIDE WEEK 2
BAD-KIDS Thursdays @ Crawdaddy
Yes, yes, the newest addition to Goldenplec is IN FACT a weekly occurrence, much to the joys of our readers! So you can all stop emailing us voicing your frustrations at such a great addition like the Dublin Clubbing Guide being so sporadic. I think we got one email, and I promise it was from a totally anonymous source that had absolutely nothing to do with the article…….
We are back for another week, attempting to sway your craving for a right oul dance to different specific nights/venues/promotions each week. Last week we recommended you check out the GaffParty’s 2 year birthday in Twisted Pepper – so I hope all who attended had a mega time as the general consensus was that the night was expectedly ‘off the chain’.
This week we ask you to feast your eyes (and eventually legs, arms and other body parts) on Crawdaddy’s new Thursday night offering coming from promoters Bad Kids. The Bad Kids crew have been running the night for about 6 weeks now and to date it has been very successful, and I am sure this Thursday will be no exception.
The Chocolate Bar will play host to some of the oldest-schoolest (not a word? Don’t care) hip-hop and gangsta rap from the 80’s and 90’s, so be prepared for your bum to start shaking uncontrollably to some Grandmaster Flash or Warren G.
While things are looking oh so smooth, next door in Crawdaddy will be oozing out the best current indie and electro tunes all night courtesy of the Lads from ClubFear Nites. Anyone who frequents The Oak on a Friday/Saturday will know that ClubFear’s choice of tune-age always gets a thumbs up. From The Beatles and Boys Noize to Vampire Weekend and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, you are sure to be stuck on the dance floor pumping your fist so hard that inevitably leaves you gasping with a cramp.
Sweet drinks promotions include:
Smirnoff Ice/WKD for EUR2.00
Pints for EUR3.00
Cocktails for EUR5.00
And if all of the above isn’t enough to entice you, entry is FREE before 11:30pm!! Its 5.00 after that, So get there early and use those funds on the awesome cheap drinks to fuel you into a dancing frenzy!
