Capacity is set at 250 for club nights, 200 for live shows, and 120 for seated performances. The venue’s walls will be used to display art exhibitions and visual works, while the space also has a recording studio and lifestyle store on-site. 

Among the names set to play the venue in its opening season are local acts including Jio, Rising Damp, Lolz, Julia Louise Knifefest, Lychee, Rory Sweeney, and Emby. The space will also host a wide array of international talent, including aya, COUCOU CHLOE, Jossy Mitsu, Children of Zeus, Novelist, Teki Latex, Shy One, Joviale, Plastician, Sicaria Sound, Scratchclart and TAAHLIAH between now and the end of the year.

In October, the Dublin City Record Fair will take place at the venue.
