Safe Gigs. (2026) Spiking hub.
External website: https://www.safegigs.ie/spiking
Everyone deserves to feel safe at gigs. Everyone deserves to have fun. As we return to normal, we want to create a new normal - a safer normal, for everyone. Safe Gigs Ireland is an initiative to make gigs and nightlife safer, for everyone. We want to eliminate discrimination and sexual violence in nightlife by creating a zero-tolerance environment for all forms of violence and unacceptable behaviour.
Safe Gigs Ireland have developed this Spiking Hub in response to an increase in reports of spiking across Ireland, the UK and Europe. We are gathering your experiences of spiking in Ireland and the response you received from venues, health care professionals and your family and friends. We will compile this information and use it to develop a guide for venues when dealing with spiking.
