Alternating Current 2025 will explore the theme ‘Urban Scores.’ Inspired by the writings of Elena Biserna, this edition seeks to provoke sonic works that can both score the city and be scored by it. The programme will feature live performances, broadcasts, workshops, and artistic interventions, inviting artists to interpret Dublin City—and cities at large—through a sonic lens.

Taking place from May 1st to 4th, 2025, Alternating Current will be hosted across multiple venues for the first time arriving, at The Complex on Saturday and Sunday. The public is invited to a free programme of broadcasts, workshops, and interventions at Flux Studios & Gallery on May 1st.

Our weekend ticket provides access to the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday live performances, where Irish and Irish-based musicians will present their experimental takes on this year’s theme. In 2025, Alternating Current aims to continue supporting Ireland's grassroots and DIY sound culture.
