AMP is a celebrated nightclub in Ireland renowned for its dynamic contribution to the country’s electronic music scene. Emerging initially as a pop-up and club night rather than a fixed venue, AMP earned its reputation through a series of high-energy events hosted across several of Ireland’s most iconic nightspots, particularly in the capital city of
Dublin. Throughout the 2010s, AMP became synonymous with cutting-edge bookings and a commitment to championing both grassroots Irish talent and world-class international acts.
The name AMP—which stands for "All My People"—reflects its focus on community and inclusion within club culture, providing an open, vibrant space that has attracted a diverse and loyal crowd over the years.
AMP’s early events were held in smaller venues before its popularity dictated moves to bigger clubs, including memorable stints at District 8 and Hangar, both venues crucial to
Dublin’s nightlife. As the Irish club scene underwent significant changes, with venues closing and reopening, AMP adapted by staging events in pop-up spaces and partnering with festivals, all while maintaining its distinct identity.
Its ability to evolve—mirroring the challenges and vibrancy of Irish nightlife—cemented its status as a cultural touchstone and a launching pad for local artists and DJs. The club’s innovative programming and inclusive ethos have made it an incubator for fresh talent, as well as a vital stop for international performers touring the European circuit.
Notable artists who have graced AMP lineups include international heavyweights like
Bicep,
Kerri Chandler,
Ben Klock, The Black Madonna (now known as
The Blessed Madonna),
Nina Kraviz, and
Midland, alongside Irish electronic royalty such as
Sunil Sharpe,
KETTAMA,
Tommy Holohan, and
Krystal Klear.
This blend of homegrown and global talent continues to draw passionate crowds and solidifies AMP’s reputation as one of the most influential musical platforms in Ireland.
