IRELAND ● UK ● GERMANY ● THE NETHERLANDS - NOV/DEC 2026

SPECIAL GUEST VOCALISTS AND MUSICIANS TO JOIN THE CELEBRATION

Following the success of the anniversary tours of the UK and North America, The Pogues are going back on the road this coming winter with dates across Ireland, the UK, Germany and The Netherlands in 2026.

The Pogues plus very special guests bring their Greatest Hits Tour 2026 to 3Arena Dublin on 9th December, SSE Arena Belfast on 10th December and Gleneagle Arena Killarney on 12th December. Tickets go on general sale this Wednesday 18 ^th March at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie Stay tuned for a host of special guest vocalists and musicians to be announced.

This time they are playing all the favourites - the bawdy, riotous bangers, the desolate howls of loss and love, and always, always, the laughing of the human heart no matter what shadows might hang over us.

Original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer and Spider Stacy will lead the charge, and will once again be joined by their usual superlative collection of special guest musicians and singers, among them the cream of the current generation of Irish artists, whose reimagining of traditional forms has provided some of the most extraordinary music of the last few years.

Together, they are going to take The Pogues songbook, one of the most influential and inspiring bodies of work to have emerged from that maelstrom of creativity that was the 1980s and infuse it with all the fire and joy it deserves, including “Fairytale of New York,” “Dirty Old Town,” “A Pair of Brown Eyes,” “Rainy Night in Soho,” “If I Should Fall From Grace With God, ” and many more.

The Pogues said:
“After the incredible reaction to our recent anniversary shows, we wanted to take the celebration even further — we hope you’ll come along, it will most definitely be worth it.”

UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell - Irish Concert Dates Confirmed

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 10:00:16 GMT

Tickets On Sale Friday 06 March 10am

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will play live concert dates in Ireland in November 2026.

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell bring their Big Love Tour to TF Royal, Castlebar on Friday 27 November and 3Arena, Dublin on Saturday 28 November, 2026.

Tickets for both dates will go on sale this Friday 06 March at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to 70 million record sales and over fifty UK chart hits, Ali Campbell is again bringing some much-needed reggae cheer into the world as he takes the latest incarnation of his extraordinary band to the world’s biggest stages. Building on a legacy that dates back 45 years to his formative years in inner-city Birmingham, singer and guitarist Ali’s touring ensemble remains the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises.

For Ali, who began a new era when he left the band’s original line-up in 2008, there’s no shortage of material to sing live. A typical show will include classic reggae covers such as Cherry Oh Baby, Please Don't Make Me Cry, Kingston Town and Red Red Wine – all from the hugely successful Labour Of Love series – plus more recent originals such as Unprecedented, from the 2021 album of the same name.

This current flurry of activity is part of a story that goes back to 1979, when UB40 began putting their own, roots-rocking slant on Jamaican reggae. Taking their name from the official form given to individuals claiming unemployment benefit in the UK, the multi-racial band played their first show at the Hare & Hounds pub in Kings Heath in February 1979. After reaching number four in the charts with their double A-sided debut single, King / Food For Thought, the band released the Signing Off album in 1980. They went on to top the UK singles chart on four occasions – with Red Red Wine in 1983, I Got You Babe (a duet between Ali and Pretenders singer and long-standing UB40 champion Chrissie Hynde) in 1985; (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You in 1993 and Baby Come Back with Pato Banton in 1994. Two of those hits, Red Red Wine and (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You, also topped the US charts. Paying homage to the songs that inspired them, UB40 went on to release three volumes of the Labour Of Love series.

Ali’s rich, honeyed vocals gave the band’s music a sweet, melodic sheen, but the songs written by the group themselves were often iron fists in velvet gloves – gritty snapshots of the 1980s. Food For Thought attempted to draw attention to famine in North Africa five years before Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? aimed to do likewise, contrasting Third World poverty with the conspicuous consumption of the Western world at Christmas. King, inspired by the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., looked at racism in America. One In Ten, a UK Top Ten single in 1981, was a harrowingly brutal account of a Britain blighted by chronic unemployment, teenage suicide, homeless refugees and lonely pensioners. ‘The saddest thing is that some of those songs are still so appropriate,’ says Ali. ‘We wrote King 44 years ago, but the song still says something about America today, and it’s the same with One In Ten in the UK.’

By the time Ali left the original band, he had already released two successful solo albums in Big Love (1995) and Running Free (2007). He went on to make two more, Flying High (2009) and Great British Songs (2010), before he and original UB40 keyboardist Mickey Virtue reunited with Astro on 2014's Silhouette, an album featuring covers of songs by The Beatles, Bob Dylan and others alongside a handful of original tunes. Silhouette was followed by 2016's UB40 Unplugged – on which Ali, Astro and Mickey performed iconic UB40 tracks acoustically for the first time – and A Real Labour Of Love in 2018. The latter updated the ethos of the original Labour Of Love trilogy, which focussed on songs from the 1960s and early 1970s, by embracing the late 1970s and the digital reggae and dancehall styles of the 1980s.

'The 1980s were such a fertile decade for reggae, and new technology meant the genre was moving forward at an incredible pace,' says Ali. 'By 2018, enough time had elapsed for us to investigate that era properly, which is what we did.' The band’s fans agreed, and the album was only held off the UK number one spot by the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster The Greatest Showman. It was the highest charting album by any incarnation of the band since 1993's Promises And Lies.

‘We're really blessed in that we get such a mixed audience at our shows,’ says Ali. ‘We still get the original fans, but we’ve also picked up a younger, festival crowd who are into grime and dance music. The influence of reggae on today’s music is huge. If you listen to grime, hip-hop, drill, jungle, or drum and bass, so much of it has come from dub and dancehall. Reggae music is a perfect antidote to these dark times. It’s music that unifies. You might not change anything by singing about it, but you can at least travel the world and try to bring people together.’

Papa Roach Return To Ireland and UK with their ‘Rise Of The Roach’ World Tour In November 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 10 a.m. Monday, February 9 ^th 2026

Papa Roach have just released a brand-new single called “Wake Up Calling,” and unveiled the next wave of their ‘Rise Of The Roach’ world tour, with dates confirmed across Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and now the UK & Ireland.

The band has just announced their return to Ireland and the UK later this year for another headline run, following their biggest shows yet last year, including a sold-out Wembley show. The tour will kick off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 1st November through to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on 9 ^th November, with a stop at London’s The O2 along the way. Tickets go on sale at 10AM – Friday 13th February 2026.

Last year’s UK dates garnered fantastic reviews across the board:

“…with this kind of longevity, our suspicion about them being armageddon-proof doesn’t seem quite so daft after all. Long live Papa Roach!” – Kerrang

“Papa Roach (are) still so undeniable all these years later. Still learning, still living, still loving and still looking for that next thing to conquer, it is an attitude that we can all take something from – utterly unmissable” Rock Sound.

“Few bands could have so effortlessly handled Wembley as this” Louder

“..they have evolved far beyond that (nu-metal) niche genre to become a big arena band with an armoury of belting tunes” Daily Star

Always philanthropic, the band presented Campaign Against Living Miserably with a £20,000 cheque at their sold-out headline show at Wembley Arena from funds raised during their short UK tour and will be supporting the charity again in November, with a £1 donation per ticket. Their Irish show will support the national charity Pieta .

Papa Roach stated: “To say that we were humbled by the response to the first leg of the ‘Rise Of The Roach’ UK tour would be an understatement. All of us are excited to return to the UK and Ireland to play more cities with a few surprises in store for fans”

Moby started playing classical music and studying music theory when he was 9 years old, and then came of age musically in the punk rock scene in and around NYC in the early 80’s. He released his first single, “Go,” in 1991 (listed as one of “Rolling Stone'' magazine's best records of all time), and has been making albums ever since. He has sold over 20,000,000 albums worldwide.

In addition to making his own records, Moby has also produced and remixed artists as varied and disparate as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk, to name a few. Moby also works with and supports a variety of non-profit organizations, including The Humane Society, Emily’s List, The ACLU, and The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function.

He has also branched out into film and television production with his company Little Walnut. In addition to their award-winning documentaries “Moby Doc” and “Punk Rock Vegan Movie,” Little Walnut is planning a summer 2026 release of their first narrative feature, “Tecie.”

Steve Cradock releases new book to support upcoming solo tour

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:30:32 GMT

Brit rock star Steve Cradock has written a new book to accompany his forthcoming solo tour.

The guitarist best known as a founding member of Ocean Colour Scene (OCS) releases Travellers Tunes to support his tour of the same name, which kicks off in Belfast in March.

The exclusive book – available in Luxe and Superluxe editions - features stories, rarely seen photographs, and a signed bookplate, and is a must for all Britpop fans.

In it, Steve looks back on the formation of OCS and the super-sized success of such records as Moseley Shoals.

Both editions include a free CD - A Soundtrack To An Imaginary Movie. The Superluxe edition also includes an exclusive set of four postcards, and a set of five Steve Cradock plectrums in their own tin.

Steve needs little introduction; he’s responsible for some of the most distinctive riffs of the past 30 years. The man who gave us signature riffs that ignited The Riverboat Song and Hundred Mile High and helped propel OCS to double-platinum glory with Moseley Shoals has been a mainstay of British rock since forming OCS in 1989 with Simon Fowler, Damon Michella, and Oscar Harrison.

The band played record-breaking gigs with Oasis at Knebworth for 250,000 people as Britpop reached its zenith in 1996. He joined Paul Weller’s band in 1992 and has appeared on all his studio albums, while also joining The Specials in 2014.

His debut book takes a look back at the highs of a stellar career in music.

Steve said: “I am really looking forward to going out on solo tour this spring in which I will look back at my career in music and sing some of my favourite songs. This book is the perfect accompaniment to that tour; a souvenir of my career so far.”

JACK LUKEMAN ANNOUNCES TWO SPECIAL 3OLYMPIA THEATRE SHOWS

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:27:46 GMT

MARCH 2027

Following his recent sell-out 3Olympia Theatre performance celebrating the songs of Jacques Brel , Jack Lukeman returns to the iconic Dublin venue in March 2027 for two distinct, specially staged nights , each exploring a different dimension of his musical world.

“I’ve always been drawn to songs that last — whether they’re mine or someone else’s. These two nights are about following that thread: the music that stays with you, and the music I’m still writing.” Jack Lukeman

Friday 19 March 2027

The Immortal Songs of The 27 Club

Jack Lukeman presents The Immortal Songs of The 27 Club — a specially staged 3Olympia Theatre performance re-imagining songs made legendary by artists whose work continues to resonate far beyond its moment of creation.

The set draws from the music of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Rolling Stones and Nirvana , among others, with Jack’s rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit recently featured on Trevor Horn’s most recent album .

As with his acclaimed Brel performances, the emphasis is firmly on songcraft, interpretation and emotional truth , rather than mythology. The focus is on why certain songs endure — how they survive, travel, and continue to speak across generations.

Through his distinctive voice and storytelling, Jack brings these songs into the present, offering a powerful and immersive concert experience.

Saturday 20 March 2027

Jack Lukeman – Greatest Songs

Saturday’s performance turns to Jack Lukeman’s own catalogue with Jack Lukeman – Greatest Songs , a celebration of the songwriting that has defined his career to date.

Drawing from across his albums, the performance brings together songs that have become cornerstones of his live shows — including material from Metropolis Blue, Magic Days, Universe, Broken Songs and Echo On — alongside selected new songs .

The set will also feature new material from Jack’s forthcoming album , offering a glimpse of where his songwriting is heading next.

This is not a retrospective or farewell, but a living body of work in motion, performed by an artist still actively writing, recording and evolving.

Two Nights. Two Perspectives. One Voice.

Across these two 3Olympia Theatre shows, audiences are invited into two interconnected worlds :

· the interpreter, uncovering the enduring power of great songs, and

· the songwriter, revisiting and extending his own musical legacy.

Together, they form a rare and compelling weekend that bridges influence, originality and the next chapter still being written.

December 1, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) — Following a trio of sold-out hometown headline shows in Sydney, Grammy-winning live electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL have been honored with a commemorative plaque, presented by Live Nation and Untitled, recognizing their Inhale / Exhale World Tour as the highest-selling electronic tour of all time. The milestone caps a record-breaking 2025, during which the trio sold 750,000 headline tickets and performed to 1.5 million fans worldwide across their festival and headlining shows

The Inhale / Exhale era has been a critical and commercial success, earning RÜFÜS DU SOL a 2026 GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album and four nominations at the 2025 ARIA Awards. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 and spawned the band’s first #1 on U.S. dance radio with “Music is Better” highlighting their crossover appeal and position as pioneers in the live electronic music landscape.

Spanning nearly 50 headline shows across four continents, the Inhale / Exhale World Tour has solidified their position amongst the world’s most iconic live acts, performing in venues traditionally reserved for legacy artists, headlining major festivals around the globe like Lollapalooza, and cementing their status as the only electronic act performing at this scale globally. The tour featured historic moments, including the band becoming the first electronic act to headline Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl and now hold the record for the highest selling Australian act the Qudos Bank Arena in their hometown of a Sydney, while setting new benchmarks for electronic music and the live ecosystem, reaffirming their broader influence on contemporary musical culture worldwide.

The recent plaque presentation celebrates RÜFÜS DU SOL’s unmatched live performance achievements in 2025 and marks the start of their record-setting journey into 2026 when they head back on tour for their biggest headline tours in South America and Europe, where demand continues with new shows added this week in Dublin, Dusseldorf and Bologna. These performances join a staggering run of dates at some of Europe’s most celebrated arenas including London’s The O2, Paris’ Adidas Arena, and Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi.

Ocean Colour Scene Announce Moseley Shoals 30th Anniversary Tour for 2026

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:59:27 GMT

3Olympia Theatre Dublin Date Confirmed

Indie-rock legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced a major Irish and UK tour for 2026, celebrating the 30 ^th anniversary of their classic album Moseley Shoals.

Ocean Colour Scene will play 3Olympia Theatre Dublin on 19 ^th November 2026.

Tickets for the 3Olympia Theatre will go on sale this Friday 31 ^st October at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Released in April 1996, at the height of the Britpop era, Moseley Shoals was Ocean Colour Scene’s second album and immediately became a huge success.

Reaching number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, Moseley Shoals featured the massive hit singles ‘The Riverboat Song’, ‘You’ve Got It Bad’, ‘The Day We Caught The Train’ and ‘The Circle’ and was certified as triple-platinum after spending an incredible 92 weeks on the chart.

In August that year, Oasis invited Ocean Colour Scene to be their special guests at one of their historic concerts held at Knebworth. Performing a blistering set in front 125,000 people, Ocean Colour Scene firmly cemented their status as one of Britain’s biggest bands.

For the Moseley Shoals 30 ^th anniversary tour, in addition to playing all the highlights from Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene will play a career-spanning set to include all their other hits and fan favourites, such as ‘Hundred Mile High City’, ‘Travellers Tune’, ‘Better Day and ‘Profit In Peace’, amongst many others.

Ocean Colour Scene’s lead singer Simon Fowler said, “It’s hard to believe that Moseley Shoals turns 30 in 2026. We owe so much to that album, so it’s exciting to be able to look forward this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.”

Guitarist Steve Cradock said, “As a thirty-year celebration of Moseley Shoals, we will be playing many of the songs from this great album. They will be part of a set and show that will be special, and a peak for us as a group. Thanks for the support. See you all in 2026.”

Drummer Oscar Harrison said, “Our 2026 UK tour is something we are going to celebrate in a very big way. As with our sold-out tour this year, these dates will be all the more special for having my boy Leon on percussion and Steve’s son, Cass, on keys and guitar, enabling us to deliver the full Ocean Colour Scene sound for our fans. This one’s for them.”

Ocean Colour Scene’s manager Alan McGee added, “Ocean Colour Scene released Moseley Shoals at the epicentre of an incredible time for music: 1996. When I was asked to manage them four years ago we set out on a journey to celebrate their unique sound and deliver it back to the masses. This tour is their biggest in 30 years and puts them in their rightful place as one of the truly great bands their generation.”

Formed in Birmingham in 1989, Ocean Colour Scene began crafting songs in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them, with words and melodies that would soon chime with the hearts and minds of the group’s fiercely loyal fanbase.

After a few years honing their sound, Ocean Colour Scene became a household name with the release of Moseley Shoals, which was quickly followed by the Top 10 albums Marchin’ Already (1997), One From The Modern (1999) and Mechanical Drift (2001).

Enjoying an incredible run of seventeen Top 40 singles - which included nine successive Top 20 singles – Ocean Colour Scene are not only one of the UK’s most successful groups, they are also renowned as one of the country’s very best live bands.

The full list of dates for Ocean Colour Scene’s Ireland and UK tour in 2026 is as follows:

19 November - 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin

21 November - Glasgow OVO Hydro

Ocean In Concert comes to 3Arena, Dublin

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:51:50 GMT

Sir David Attenborough’s greatest message brought to life in his centenary year

OCEAN in CONCERT

Live performance of Steven Price's soundtrack to the screening of

’Ocean with David Attenborough’

Narrated on film by Sir David Attenborough

3Arena Dublin - Saturday 7 ^th March 2026

“After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea." Sir David Attenborough

Ocean In Concert comes to 3Arena, Dublin on Saturday 7 ^th March 2026. Tickets will go on sale this Friday 31 ^st October at 10.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Ocean with David Attenborough is a powerful feature documentary from Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios, released globally in May 2025 to coincide with celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker Sir David Attenborough’s 99th birthday. Like all previous Attenborough documentaries, it is jaw dropping in its scope and beauty, yet as the film’s co-director, Toby Nowlan points out, it is not a typical Attenborough film. “This is not about seeing brand new natural history behaviours. It is the greatest message he’s ever told.”

Ocean reveals that nowhere is more vital to life—or more full of wonder—than the ocean. Attenborough reflects how his lifetime has paralleled a golden age of ocean discovery, revealing how a healthy ocean sustains life on Earth. Stunning cinematography of coral reefs, kelp forests, and the open sea captures not only the ocean’s beauty, but dramatically captures the brutal threats it faces from destructive fishing and mass coral bleaching in never-before-seen footage. Yet Attenborough’s message is one of optimism and hope: the ocean can recover to a glory faster than we had ever imagined.

Ocean in Concert marks Sir David Attenborough’s centenary year by bringing to life his greatest message. It features award-winning composer Steven Price ’s original Ocean with David Attenborough score, performed live by one of three world-renowned orchestras in perfect synchronisation with the film’s spectacular imagery. Conducted by acclaimed Robert Ziegler and joined by a vocal ensemble, the performance turns powerful visuals and an urgent story into a deeply moving experience.

Winner of an Academy Award for his iconic score to Gravity, Steven Price has a unique story-driven approach to the craft of film scoring. He is no stranger to working in the natural history realm having worked alongside Attenborough on The Hunt (for which he won a Bafta), Our Planet (nominated for two score Emmys), and David Attenborough – _A Life on Our Planet (for which he won a Primetime Emmy). Price’s epic score to Ocean with David Attenborough captures the drama, savagery, and beauty of the ocean’s underwater world magnifying the film’s impact, amplifying both its wonder and its urgency.

“Age has done little to quell the naturalist’s intellectual curiosity and wonder.”

The Irish Times****

“Sir David’s authority is matched only by nature’s grandeur in this visually stunning film”

The Guardian *****

“...he’s given us the best gift of all with his new documentary Ocean”

The Daily Mail *****

“The cinematography, as with just about anything Attenborough puts his name to, is stunning…”

Paul Weller Live At Fairview Park Dublin

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:23:18 GMT

Sunday 28 ^th June 2026

Tickets On Sale This Friday

Paul Weller has confirmed a concert date in Dublin for 2026.

Paul Weller plus special guests will play Fairview Park, Dublin on Sunday 28 ^th June 2026 (subject to licence).

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 24th October at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Over the course of a career that extends back five decades, the songs of Paul Weller are woven into the tapestry of British music. His body of work stands comparison with formative heroes such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ray Davies – a canon that takes in a total of 28 studio albums. And while it’s tempting to dwell on past achievements – the Brit Awards, the Ivor Novellos and the number one albums (eight in total), Weller’s avowed credo leads him to view his creative past rather like a motorist might look in the rear-view mirror – foot on the pedal, in constant forward motion.

For Weller it was that modernist outlook that informed his music as far back as his earliest recordings with The Jam. The trio he formed with Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums) achieved instant success with their 1977 debut single In The City. The album with which it shared its title has come to be regarded alongside Never Mind The Bollocks and London Calling as one of the musical lodestones of the punk era.

After dissolving The Jam at the peak of their powers, Weller – still only 22 – swiftly re-emerged alongside keyboard player Mick Talbot in The Style Council. The duo’s lineup would expand to take in drummer Steve White and vocalist Dee C. Lee, resulting in a string of hits that included Shout To The Top and My Ever Changing Moods – songs that Weller regularly plays to this day.

As a solo artist, Weller forged his own path with acclaimed albums including Wild Wood and Stanley Road, which helped shape a new era of British guitar music. His creative restlessness has continued into the 21st century with records like 22 Dreams, On Sunset, and his latest album 66 (2024) — a vibrant, life-affirming work that reaffirms his enduring influence and commitment to artistic progression.

For all of that, the thing that gets Paul Weller out of bed is the promise of what’s next, be it another electrifying live show tracing a line through the ever-changing moods of his canon or another day in his Black Barn studio. Every new song is a chisel-strike into a stone which will eventually sculpt a self-portrait. A self-portrait that will only be finished when he has written his final piece of music. And between this moment and that one, there’s everything to play for.

The Undertones 50th Anniversary Tour 2026

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:52:40 GMT

The Undertones

50th Anniversary Tour 2026

Tickets On Sale This Friday

The Undertones come roaring back in 2026 with an extensive Irish, UK and European tour to celebrate their 50 ^th anniversary.

The Undertones 50 ^th Anniversary Tour Irish tour dates for 2026 are Cyprus Avenue, Cork 5 November; Bank Lane, Waterford 6 November; 3Olympia, Dublin 7 November; Dolans Warehouse, Limerick 3 December; Roisin Dubh, Galway 4 December and; Set Theatre, Kilkenny on 5 December.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 17 ^th October at 10am from venue box offices and Ticketmaster.

The Undertones will also continue promoting the release of their very first live album 16 Live Humdinger which is currently only available for purchase at live shows and only on green vinyl. The album was recorded in Glasgow in 2023 and includes a selection of old and new songs performed by the post-1999 line-up with Paul McLoone on vocals.

THE UNDERTONES – Part 1 - 1976 - 1983

The Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976, the result of five friends (John O’Neill, Damian O’Neill, Feargal Sharkey, Billy Doherty and Michael Bradley) learning how to play basic rock and roll.

Even by the standards of that decade Derry was not the rock and roll capital of anywhere. With no live bands worth watching, they learned by listening to mail order records, reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry but most of all from listening to John Peel’s wonderful show on BBC Radio One. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording John O’Neill’s ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations label in Belfast. The legendary DJ John Peel received a copy and liked it so much he played it twice in a row on his radio show.

The Undertones signed with Sire Records and ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re-released, resulting in the band's first appearance on Top of the Pops. Over the next five years, John O Neill, crafted further pop gems such as `Here Comes The Summer`, ‘Jimmy Jimmy`, `You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It)’ and ‘Wednesday Week’ whilst Damian O’Neill and Michael Bradley contributed ‘My Perfect Cousin. They also recorded four highly acclaimed LPs. Indeed, they almost enjoyed the life of professional musicians. In 1983 Feargal Sharkey left the band to pursue a solo career and the remaining members decided to call it a day. The Undertones were to remain silent for the next sixteen years.

THE UNDERTONES – Part 2 - 1999 -

In 1999 The Undertones reconvened, without Feargal Sharkey, to once again perform their two-minute, three and a half chord songs to a new generation of fans in Derry and around the World…Fellow Derryman Paul McLoone replaced Sharkey on vocals and his vocal prowess and electric onstage presence soon convinced any doubters that he was more than capable of doing the job.

After much consideration the band released an LP of new songs called `Get What You Need', which was critically acclaimed by Q magazine, Uncut, Rolling Stone and Hot Press. Songs like ‘Thrill Me’, ‘I Need Your Love The Way It Used To Be’ and ‘Everything But You' showed that the art of writing short, sharp songs had not been lost over the previous two decades.

In 2003 ‘Thrill Me’ was released as a limited edition 7” vinyl single and found its way to John Peel’s turntable. He introduced it on his show commenting, “And these are words I thought I would never be saying on radio again, a new single from The Undertones”. He liked it so much he played it twice, just as he did with ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978.

In 2016 the Band released vinyl remasters of ther first two LPs; ‘The Undertones – The Undertones’ and ‘The Undertones – Hypnotised’ along with a 7” vinyl remix of the 1979 single ‘Get Over You’. Remixed by Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine/Primal Scream). Michael Bradley also published his book Teenage Kicks: My Life as An Undertone’.

2018 marked the 40th Anniversary of the release of their most influential and famous song, ’Teenage Kicks’. On 21st April for Record Store Day 2018 the band released a Vinyl Singles Box Set containing the 13 x 7” original Undertones singles from the classic early period: 1978-1983.

Ewan McVicar Presents The Party People at 3Arena, Dublin on Saturday 31st January 2026 .

Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday 15th October at 10.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie .

Fresh from a monumental summer that saw him headline Creamfields’ HALO stage and deliver a show-stopping final set at Electric Picnic, DJ Mag’s Best British DJ is bringing his unstoppable energy to one of Ireland’s most legendary stages.

From his platinum-selling anthem ‘Tell Me Something Good’ to his club favourites ‘Heather Park’, and ‘Groove Thang’ McVicar continues to blur the lines between underground credibility and main-stage power. His sets are renowned for their intensity, technical mastery, and connection with the crowd - an energy that’s made him one of the most in-demand names in global dance music.

Speaking on the Dublin announcement, Ewan McVicar said:

“The Irish crowds have always been reminiscent of Glasgow crowds for me - there’s just something in the energy that can’t be matched anywhere else. Electric Picnic this year was another level to what I’ve been building on the Emerald Isle, and I’ve had some of my best nights ever DJing in Dublin. To bring it to 3Arena feels like a full-circle moment. I can’t wait to go all out for this one. Prepare for the best version of McVicar you’ve ever seen.”

2025 has already been a phenomenal year for Richard Ashcroft .

He has also seen phenomenal demand for his upcoming arena headline tour, which has seen London’s The O2 sell-out months in advance after all tickets for Manchester , Cardiff and Liverpool were also already snapped up.

That rush for tickets has resulted in the confirmation of an extra London date at Alexandra Palace Park on July 17th . It’s a stunning location, uniting a heady, mid-summer atmosphere with unparalleled panoramic views across London for a 13,500-capacity crowd. This the fourth extra date to be added to the tour.

Richard’s new studio album ‘Lovin’ You’ is now available to pre-order HERE .

Professor Brian Cox Emergence - World Tour 2026 3Arena Dublin Date Confirmed

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 08:58:17 GMT

Tickets On Sale Friday

After performing his smash-hit show ‘Horizons’ to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new tour world tour Emergence .

Professor Brian Cox brings Emergence to 3Arena, Dublin on Saturday 14 November 2026.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 3 October at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

After performing his smash-hit show ‘Horizons’ to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new world tour Emergence.

Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes for BBC radio and television over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the world-wide hit series The Planets.

In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague’s Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? “I do not believe,” he wrote, “that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random.”

400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity?

Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe – the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web – to Earth’s interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain – from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity.

How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and successors – ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars.

Professor Brian Cox said: “I’ve loved creating Emergence - it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.”

'A Jaw-dropping reminder that human life is both irrelevant and hugely precious.’
**** The Guardian

‘Science and cosmology doesn’t get any more dazzling and interesting than this – a wonderful journey through space and time orchestrated by Professor Brian Cox.’
Daily Echo

‘Stunning’

****Liverpool Echo

‘Is your brain hurting yet? Because mine certainly was, but in beautifully, mind-expanding sort of way…We came away with a new found of love of the basics of science and maths, and a thirst to learn more’

The Saw Doctors announce Dublin and Belfast Shows

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 09:00:40 GMT

3Olympia Dublin - Friday 28th November

Ulster Hall, Belfast - Friday 12th December

Tickets On Sale This Friday

Following their sell out gig at Fairview Park, Dublin earlier this summer and fresh from their barnstorming performance at Electric Picnic, The Saw Doctors have announced shows at 3Olympia, Dublin on Friday 28th November and the Ulster Hall, Belfast on Friday 12th December.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 12th September at 10am.

The Dublin and Belfast gigs are part of The Saw Doctors UK and Ireland tour this winter which includes stops at Hammersmith Apollo, London on November 8th, Manchester Apollo on December 6th and Glasgow Barrowland on November 14th and 15th.

It’s been an incredible summer for The Saw Doctors with sell out gigs in Cork at Virgin Media Park and the Piece Hall courtyard in Halifax as well as a first appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival and a coast-to-coast US tour in July with shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and SummerStage in Central Park, New York.

The Saw Doctors, who are led by the band’s songwriting duo, Davy Carton (lead vocals) and Leo Moran (electric guitar), have recently welcomed back one of their founding members, Pearse Doherty, on bass guitar, vocals, penny whistle and wooden flute. The eight-man band lineup features Anthony Thistlethwaite, formerly of The Waterboys, on saxophone and longtime members Rickie O’Neill (drums), Kieran Duddy (keyboards and accordion), Tommy Carton (backing vocals) and Noelie McDonnell (guitar and backing vocals)

Discovered by Mike Scott of The Waterboys on a stormy Tuesday night in the Quay’s Bar, Galway in the late 1980s, The Saw Doctors grew quickly, touring Ireland and the UK, including a six-week stint with The Waterboys on the Fisherman’s Blues tour in 1989.

The Saw Doctors second single, ‘I Useta Lover’ was a surprise Number One hit in Ireland in September 1990 - thirty-five years ago - remaining top of the charts for nine weeks.

“Born into a repressed, catholic, conservative, small-town, agrarian, angst-ridden & showband infested society, The Saw Doctors are trying to preserve the positive elements of our Irish background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally invaded our milieu through TV, radio, social media, 45’s, fast food restaurants, 24-hour petrol stations & electric blankets”. Leo Moran, The Saw Doctors

“The Saw Doctors were one of my favourites at Electric Picnic”

WilliamOrbit

"If The Saw Doctors could bottle the sort of bonhomie that can make an entire concert hall feel better, they would have the medicine show to end them all”.

The Times

"The Saw Doctors offer wistfulness, humour and small-town nostalgia.”

David Gray plus The Divine Comedy Confirm Fairview Park Dublin Concert Date

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 09:01:42 GMT

2025–26 PAST & PRESENT WORLD TOUR
NEW IRELAND/UK SUMMER DATES ANNOUNCED FOR JUNE–JULY 2026

THE DIVINE COMEDY TO JOIN ON SELECT DATES

68 SOLD-OUT SHOWS ACROSS USA, AUSTRALIA, UK & IRELAND IN 2025

INCLUDING THE LEGENDS SET AT ELECTRIC PICNIC

ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM DEAR LIFE OUT NOW

VIA LAUGH A MINUTE RECORDS / SECRETLY DISTRIBUTION

LISTEN HERE

Tour Artwork - download here

10am BST, Monday, September 1 – Following his headline Legends set at Electric Picnic this weekend, David Gray today announces a brand-new summer run of UK & Ireland dates for June–July 2026 as part of his Past & Present World Tour.

The tour has already seen him sell out 68 shows across the USA, Australia, UK and Ireland in 2025 , including landmark nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo, Manchester’s O2 Apollo and Dublin’s 3Arena . His Electric Picnic set marked another milestone in support of his widely praised new album Dear Life (out now via Laugh A Minute Records/Secretly Distribution).

The newly announced 2026 summer shows include headline appearances at Cardiff Castle, Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Belfast’s SSE Arena, Dublin’s Fairview Park, Lincoln Castle , and two nights Live at the Marquee in Cork, with special guests The Divine Comedy joining on select dates.

Tickets will be available via artist presale on Tuesday 2 September at 10am BST , followed by a Spotify presale on Wednesday 3 September at 10am BST , and local presales on Thursday 4 September at 10am BST . General sale begins on Friday 5 September at 10am BST / 5am ET . Fans can register for presale access via David Gray’s mailing list at www.davidgray.com .

Please note: there will be no Artist or Spotify presale for Hampton Court , and no Spotify presale for Isle of Man .

David says, “We’ve had the most amazing tour this year, from the opening night in Boston to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and then on to the Royal Albert Hall in London and the 3Arena in Dublin. These have been some of the most memorable and magical shows of my entire career. We’ve pushed ourselves as a band but it’s been richly rewarding and SO MUCH FUN! When everyone is in such fine form it would seem wrong to stop the ball from rolling - so with that in mind I’m delighted to announce a string of further dates for the summer of 2026. Exciting times!”

The response to Gray’s thirteenth album Dear Life has been extraordinary. Produced by Ben de Vries , critics have hailed it as “a brooding triumph” (Telegraph), “his most confessional and emotive work to date” (Clash), and “a slow-burner that catches fire” (Mojo). The album has also drawn comparisons to Gray’s multi-platinum White Ladder — “the sonic DNA of White Ladder is present here” (Rolling Stone) and “his poppiest and most successful album since White Ladder” (Music OMH). His artistry as a songwriter has also been singled out — “this 13th album confirms Gray’s not lost his touch” (Guardian) and “a soulful collection of richly poetic songs about love, change and mortality” (Independent).

David Gray’s story is unlike any other. He spent almost a decade striving to make a breakthrough, and when it happened it did so in the biggest way imaginable as White Ladder became one of the best-selling British albums of recent decades and established him as an arena-filling artist. As the years have passed, his songcraft has only deepened — his natural ability to convey specific emotions, atmospheres, or, as heard on his acclaimed 2021 album Skellig, a sense of place, has positioned him firmly in the lineage of classic poetic singer-songwriters. While the likes of Ed Sheeran, Adele and Hozier have acknowledged his influence, Gray has continued to follow his own artistic path.

Past & Present Summer Tour Dates 2026:

June 10 – London, UK – Hampton Court Palace Festival
June 13 – Cork, Ireland – Live at the Marquee (with special guest The Divine Comedy)
June 14 – Cork, Ireland – Live at the Marquee (with special guest The Divine Comedy)

Jarlath Regan Fourth Date For 3Olympia Theatre Dublin

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 14:11:12 GMT

Jarlath Regan & MCD

Are Proud to Announce His 2026 World Tour

Gas Man

The Brand-New Standup Show from The Viral Comedy King.

Ireland’s favourite comedian/Mammy translator, Jarlath Regan , has a brand-new standup show and he’s taking it all around the world in 2026 starting right here in Ireland.

Due to demand a fourth date has been added at 3Olympia Dublin on Friday 23 ^rd January 2026. Tickets for the extra date go on sale this Friday 22 August at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

In the last year he has earned millions of views, downloads and follows across every platform. With his razor-sharp observational standup and universally relatable “Mammy comedy clips", he has won a legion of diehard fans across the globe. Now he’s about to head back out on the road with his hilarious brand-new show for 2026. The world knows and loves him for bringing them joy every day on their phone, now it’s time for people to see this Gas Man in person.

Jarlath Is Breaking America

In April Jarlath sold out a vast tour of North America which included dates in San Francisco, LA, Portland, Seattle, Washington DC, Toronto, Vancouver Boston and five shows at the legendary Gramercy Theatre off Broadway in New York. All off the back of his beloved online standup clips and Irish mother parody sketches that have taken the internet by storm. His new show will head back to the States, mainland Europe and Australia but not before hitting Dublin, Cork and Galway.

“I am an escape artist”, Jarlath says, “My aim is to bring people out for a night to forget about it all and escape all their worries. I just want people to laugh solidly for 90 minutes. There’s something in laughter that nourishes the soul. We crave it.”

An Overnight Success After 20 Years of Podcasting

Jarlath first burst into the public consciousness in 2023 when his Instagram and TikTok videos about Irish weddings, donating a kidney to his brother and strong Irish women blew up. Patrick Kielty dubbed him “A comedy master at work”. What people might not realize is that he had been performing standup since 2004 and making the chart-topping interview podcast An Irishman Abroad. The iTunes award winning podcast saw him interview hundreds of the greatest Irish people ever including Mary Robinson, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Mescal, Boy George, Sharon Horgan, Ronan O’Gara and many many more. In 10 years of podcasting, he never missed a single week. Now he’s applying that same work ethic to producing daily comedy that is helping all of us to get through those long workdays.

A Brand-New Year, A Brand-New Show

Each year Jarlath promises his audience a brand-new show. He has made good on the promise for the last four years. Gas Man is the 2026 standup show and promises to be even funnier than his last record-breaking show In Bits. That show sold out tens of thousands of tickets including a whopping 5 straight nights at the 3Olympia. In fact, Jarlath’s residency at Dublin’s 3Olympia has now become a bit of a fixture in the comedy calendar.

Jarlath Regan’s brand new 2026 standup comedy show is packed to the gills with his unique brand of spot on observational standup material and ridiculous stories. We are all going to need a laugh in 2026 and Jarlath is here to deliver it. In this world of unending negativity, bleakness and cynicism there’s never been a better time to come out and escape from it all for a night of quality laughs courtesy of “the jewel in Ireland’s comedy crown” (The Examiner).

“I forgot what it felt like to cry in public, through laughter…Universally enjoyable – 90 minutes of jaw-achingly funny anecdotes which spanned every topic imaginable.” - The Post

“A subtle yet sublime helping of observational wit” The Herald ★★★★★

“Downright hilarious…comedy genius” The Irish Times

“Had the audience shaking so violently with laughter they probably could have charged their phones” Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“Regan is an expert storyteller and this is a beautifully constructed show that I could have happily listened to for twice its length.” ★★★★ The Arts Desk

“A superb guest” ★★★★★ Airbnb

Jools Holland OBE DL was born Julian Miles Holland on 24th January 1958 in Blackheath, Southeast London. At the age of eight, he could play the piano fluently by ear, and by the time he reached his early teens he was proficient and confident enough to be appearing regularly in many of the pubs in South East London and the East End Docks.

At the age of 15, Jools was introduced to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford ; together they formed Squeeze, and shortly afterwards they were joined by Gilson Lavis (who had already played with, among others, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, and Max Wall) – who still drums with Jools.

In 1987, Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band – comprising himself and Gilson Lavis. This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 19-piece Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals, guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three trumpets, and three trombones.

As well as formidable live performances, Jools has maintained a prolific recording career since signing to Warner Music in 1996, which includes the multimillion selling Jools Holland and Friends series. Notable 'friends' have included Sting, Chrissie Hynde, George Harrison, Norah Jones, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Bono, Joe Strummer, KT Tunstall, Robert Plant, Smokey Robinson, Kylie, Marc Almond, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel, Solomon Burke, and many more.

Jools' career as a television presenter has run parallel to his musical career. After presenting two series of Juke Box Jury in 1989 and then 26 shows of The Happening in 1990, Jools was asked in 1992 to host a new music programme for BBC2, which combined his talent and experience as a musician with his skills as a TV presenter. This was Later... with Jools Holland .

Jools' achievements were formally recognized in June 2003, when he was awarded the OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Jools' colourful autobiography, Barefaced Lies & Boogie-Woogie Boasts , hit the shelves on 4th October 2007 (published by Michael Joseph Ltd.); the paperback was published in the summer of 2008.

2009 saw the collaboration between Jools & his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra with Eddi Reader on tracks for (and a cameo role in) the movie Me & Orson Welles , starring Claire Danes (Romeo & Juliet, Homeland) and Zac Efron (High School Musical, The Lucky One). Available on DVD, it was directed by Richard Linklater (School of Rock, Dazed & Confused). Jools and the Orchestra with Eddi Reader perform Let's Pretend There's A Moon, I Surrender Dear, and You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It) on the Soundtrack album (Decca/Universal Records).

One of Jools' personal 2010 highlights was the Sony Radio Academy Silver Award for 'Best Specialist Music Programme' presented to his highly-acclaimed and eclectic BBC Radio 2 Show . The show ran for 20 years. 2010 saw a further prestigious achievement: the Sony Gold award for 'Music Broadcaster Of The Year'.

In the same year, Jools took on the very challenging role of Music Curator for Prince Charles' September 2010 green initiative START , a festival in the heart of London to raise awareness on all environmental issues. Jools graced the event with a special performance, backed by his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

He also had the privilege of being part of the stellar line-up at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, set against the spectacular backdrop of Buckingham Palace, on Monday 4th June 2012.

On Friday 1st September 2017, BBC Proms celebrated The Sound of Soul: Stax Records with a very special night at the Royal Albert Hall. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Stax/Volt Revue's first tour of the UK, Booker T. Jones and Sam Moore , both of whom were part of the 1967 tour, joined Stax artists William Bell , Steve Cropper , Eddie Floyd , and special guests Sir Tom Jones , Beverley Knight , James Morrison and Ruby Turner in a magical concert underpinned by Jools and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra .

In 2019, Jools Holland joined forces with Jim Moir – best known as British comedy star and artist Vic Reeves – for a brand-new podcast: Jools and Jim's Joyride . Launched at the beginning of 2021, the irreverent comedy pairing has been joined by a raft of weekly celebrity guests as Jools and Jim buckled up and hit the road, chattering about transport, travel, trips and general tittle-tattle to unravel the inner psyche of each guest. Fuelled by Jim and Jools' long-term love of motoring, Joyride features a huge range of celebrity talent and their eclectic tales of travel. The 6-series podcast is available on all streaming platforms.

On 22nd June 2022, Jools and The Rhythm & Blues Orchestra 'Raised The Roof' of the Royal Albert Hall with a very special star-studded show in aid of Prostate Cancer UK .

In 2022/2023 Jools Holland the R&B Orchestra were honoured to collaborate with Sir Rod Stewart on the album Swing Fever , a 13-track sparkling salute to the timeless songs of the big band years. The album went straight to the top spot in the UK album charts, rewarding Jools with his first No. 1 album of his music career.

Jools has also been working with BBC Radio 3 on a new programme called Earlier with…Jools Holland, where he shares his love and knowledge of classical music.

In the last year he has earned millions of views, downloads and follows across every platform.

Jarlath Is Breaking America

An Overnight Success After 20 Years of Podcasting

Jarlath first burst into the public consciousness in 2023 when his Instagram and TikTok videos about Irish weddings, donating a kidney to his brother and strong Irish women blew up. Patrick Kielty dubbed him “A comedy master at work”. What people might not realize is that he had been performing standup since 2004 and making the chart topping interview podcast An Irishman Abroad. The iTunes award winning podcast saw him interview hundreds of the greatest Irish people ever including Mary Robinson, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Mescal, Boy George, Sharon Horgan, Ronan O’Gara and many many more. In 10 years of podcasting he never missed a single week. Now he’s applying that same work ethic to producing daily comedy that is helping all of us to get through those long work days.

A Brand-New Year, A Brand-New Show

The Saw Doctors will release a brand new single ‘Quicksand’ on Friday 6 ^th December via iTunes, Spotify and the streaming platforms. ‘Quicksand' was written by Paul Cunniffe who co-wrote The Saw Doctors No.1 hit ‘I Useta Lover’ with Davy Carton, Leo Moran and Padraig Stevens.

The Saw Doctors have just finished a four month ‘comeback’ tour that included sold-out shows in Belfast at Custom House Square, Manchester at Castlefield Bowl and Glasgow at Kelvingrove Park with pit stops along the way in Munich, Cologne, Brussels, Amsterdam, Boston and Chicago before two hometown gigs at the Galway Arts Festival Big Top in July.

Discovered by Mike Scott of The Waterboys on a stormy Tuesday night in the Quay’s Bar, Galway in the late 1980s, The Saw Doctors quickly grew a reputation as a live band, touring around Ireland and the UK, including a six-week stint with The Waterboys on the Fisherman’s Blues tour in 1989. The Saw Doctors second single, ‘I Useta Lover’ was a surprise hit in Ireland in 1990, remaining top of the charts for nine weeks, going on to become the biggest selling Irish single ever. The Galway band’s debut album ‘If This Is Rock ’n’ Roll, I Want My Old Job Back which includes the anthemic song ’N17’ has sold a half a million copies world-wide.

The Saw Doctors who are powered by the band’s songwriting duo, Davy Carton (lead vocals) and Leo Moran (electric guitar), recently welcomed back one of their founding band members Pearse Doherty on bass guitar, vocals, penny whistle and wooden flute. The eight man lineup features longtime members Rickie O’Neill (drums), Kieran Duddy (keyboards and accordion) and Tommy Carton (backing vocals) as well as acclaimed sidemen, Anthony Thistlethwaite (saxophone, formerly of The Waterboys) and Noelie McDonnell (guitar and backing vocals of The Whileaways)

Carrying the torch of resilience and still brimming with infectious energy, The Saw Doctors are looking forward to rocking their two exclusive Irish shows next summer: Virgin Media Park Cork on Saturday 14 ^th June and Fairview Park Dublin on Saturday 28 ^th June .

“If they could bottle the sort of Bonhomie that make and entire concert hall feel better, The Saw Doctors would have the medicine show to end them all.”

Jack Lukeman Returns to 3Olympia Theatre

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 13:00:07 GMT

Chez Jack L 2025: A Performance to Anticipate

Celebrated Irish singer-songwriter Jack Lukeman is set to return to Dublin's iconic 3Olympia Theatre in 2025.

Known for his powerful voice and electrifying stage presence, Jack L will play 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 11 ^th October 2025. Tickets for concert will go on sale this Friday 29 ^th November at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

This long-awaited performance of his legendary show, Chez Jack L marks 20 years since it first captivated Irish audiences. Returning to 3Olympia for his first show in 15 years, this one-of-a-kind engagement will rekindle Jack's deep connection with a venue that has been a cornerstone of his career.

Chez Jack L 2025: Love, Sex, Death + More will spotlight Jack's renowned interpretations of songs by European and American legends such as Jacques Brel, Kurt Weill, Leonard Cohen, and Randy Newman. Audiences can expect fresh takes on beloved classics like “Jackie”, "Amsterdam," "If You Go Away, "Dance Me to the End of Love" ‘Hallelujah’, ”Lonely at the Top” “Alabama Song” and more.

This highly anticipated evening promises a compelling blend of nostalgia and reinvention, presenting timeless hits with Jack's innovative flair.

The show isn't just for longtime fans; it's a chance for new listeners to experience the magic that has defined Jack's career. Chez Jack L 2025 is crafted to connect audiences across generations with music and storytelling that have universal appeal. Whether you first encountered Chez Jack L two decades ago or are discovering Jack's artistry for the first time, this performance invites everyone to experience the timeless power of his unique storytelling.

The show will feature new arrangements and highlights from Ancient Echoes, Jack's latest recording, produced by the legendary Trevor Horn and featuring collaborations with Seal and Iggy Pop. Fans can also look forward to Jack's powerful rendition of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and a duet with Andrea Corr on Billy Idol's "White Wedding." These additions underscore Jack's commitment to reinterpreting iconic songs, offering a theatrical experience that reflects his artistic evolution.

Chez Jack L originally debuted in 2003 with an unprecedented 14-week residency at Dublin's Spirit (now The Academy), a run that firmly established Jack as one of Ireland's premier live acts. However, his history with 3Olympia Theatre dates back even further to his early performances with The Black Romantics, where his blend of theatrical storytelling and soulful vocals first took shape.

Jack has consistently showcased his versatility throughout his career, breathing new life into songs like David Bowie’s Starman and, most recently, contributing to the soundtrack of the UK No. 1 film The Canterville Ghost in collaboration with acclaimed composer Eimear Noone.

Chez Jack L 2025 will also highlight Jack's original work, featuring special guest appearances and the total energy of the Jack L Big Band, promising an unforgettable night of musical passion and theatrical magic.

Here is his debut album Wax comprised of Jacques Brel songs

Jarlath Regan - Fifth 3Olympia Theatre Dublin Show Confirmed

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 12:52:55 GMT

The Brand New Stand-Up Comedy Show From Yer Man Off Instagram

Jarlath Regan presents In Bits at 3Olympia Theatre Dublin on Wednesday 8 ^th , Thursday 9 ^th , Friday 10 ^th and Saturday 11 ^th January 2025.

Due to demand a fifth show has been added at 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 11 ^th January 2025 as a matinee performance. Doors open 3.30pm. Show starts 4.00pm.

Tickets for the extra show will go on sale this Friday at 10am From Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.ie

If you haven’t seen his viral hit Mammy translations clips on TikTok, Instagram & Facebook you must be living under a rock. Jarlath Regan struck comedy gold this year with his dead on money impressions of the Irish Mammy. Now he’s selling out shows across the globe including the world famous Gramercy Theatre in New York. His last tour sold thousands of tickets and a record breaking six nights at the 3Olympia - a record for a first time performer in the historic Dublin venue. Now he’s hitting the road again with his brand new show “In Bits” and tickets are flying out the door faster than his follower numbers are rising.

Irish Mammies In America - Jarlath’s US Tour Dates Sold Out In 48 Hours!

The success of his hilarious comedy clips about sleep, raising teens, Oasis and everything in between can be measured in the millions of views they earn, but even Jarlath was surprised by the reach of the Irish Mammy. “I had no idea that the troupes we associate so heavily with our beloved Irish mothers would resonate abroad with other cultures particularly America.” In March he tentatively organised some shows in Boston, Chicago and New York. “I was just looking at the metrics on the different platforms and thought I’d chance it.” The shows sold out in 48 hours and he’s been adding dates ever

since. “I’m now doing 9 shows in total in the US this autumn in some of the biggest theatres I have played and they’ve sold out months ago! It’s bananas!”

Over Night Success Arrives When You Move Home!

Jarlath Regan’s funny bits live and in person are even funnier than his daily posts. He spent 10 years in London honing his craft but things only blew up for him when he moved home. “I don’t know what happened or what changed. I’ve always been working my butt off. I think maybe the algorithm found me and put in front of people and that’s it. In the past you needed to get on the telly. Now you need to get on people’s phones!” His legionmof fans across the globe will see him travel to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and even further afield across 2025.

"The jewel in the Irish comedy crown” (The Examiner)

In a world of relentlessly bleak news and constant negativity, Jarlath Regan’s new show invites us to take a break from it all and make space for laughter. Patrick Kielty described it as like watching “a master at work”. Audiences all over the world agreed. In 2023 his feel good “Yer Man” standup comedy show took the country by storm. Selling out a whopping six nights at the 3Olympia, The O2 Shepherds Bush Empire and more than 80 dates across 12 months of relentless touring, his hotly anticipated next show is finally here.

“A subtle yet sublime helping of observational wit” - The Herald

“Universally enjoyable – 90 minutes of jaw-achingly funny anecdotes which spanned

every topic imaginable.” - The Post

“Had the audience shaking so violently with laughter they probably could have charged

their phones” Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

Some things you might not know about Jarlath Regan:

• Jarlath Regan found standup comedy when Ardal O’Hanlon spotted him telling jokes in university

and invited him to support him on tour.

• Jarlath’s award Irishman Abroad Podcast series has topped the charts for more than ten years

and featured the biggest names in Irish life including Sir Bob Geldof, Mary Robinson, Paul

Mescal, Sonia O’Sullivan, Barry Keoghan and hundreds more.

• For his upcoming sold out tour of America, Jarlath was head hunted by one of America’s most

respected and influential tour promoters.

• Jarlath also makes a parenting podcast with his wife Tina. “Honey! You’re Ruining Our Kid!

DAVID GRAY New Concert Date Confirmed Gleneagle INEC Arena, Killarney

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 09:28:09 GMT

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9.00am

David Gray has announced a new concert date at Gleneagle INEC Arena Killarney on Wednesday 27 ^th August 2025. Tickets will go on sale this Friday 22 ^nd November at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

David Gray will also play 3Arena Dublin on Saturday 5 ^th April (sold-out) and an extra date at the same venue on Friday 2 ^nd May (low tickets) as part of his Past & Present Tour.

Gray’s highly anticipated new album, Dear Life, will be released on January 17, 2025 , through his independent label Laugh A Minute Records , in partnership with Secretly Distribution. Possibly the deepest, strangest and loveliest album of his career to date, the album was recently launched alongside its lead single ‘Plus & Minus’.

David Gray’s story is unlike any other. He spent almost a decade striving to make a breakthrough, and when it happened it did so in the biggest way imaginable as White Ladder became one of the best-selling British albums of recent decades and established him as an arena-filling artist. As the years have passed, his songcraft has only been deepened by his natural ability to convey specific emotions, atmospheres or, as heard on his acclaimed 2021 album Skellig, a perception of place - all positioning him in the lineage of classic poetic singer-songwriters rather than lovestruck acoustic troubadours. While the likes of Ed Sheeran , Adele and Hozier have acknowledged his influence, David has continued to follow his own artistic path.

Dear Life is Gray’s thirteenth album. It’s the result of “a starburst of songwriting … it just seemed like the gods of songwriting were being kind. The doubting voices didn't turn up.” An album of emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, love and heartbreak, magic, science, loss and acceptance. While it is full of yearning and hope, there is an undercurrent of darkness, a tension between competing forces of hope and despair: a cavalcade of emotions in what is his most lyrically-focused collection to-date.

Premiering on Radio 2’s Breakfast Show, Dave’s new single, “Plus & Minus” catches the songwriter at his most immediately infectious. The song’s piano refrain frames a duet about a fractured relationship, in which his inimitable voice trades words of disillusionment and despair with newcomer Talia Rae , whose smoky vocal simultaneously evokes equal measures of wit and sadness.

Watch the video to “Plus & Minus” HERE

David adds, “Some unfinished songs just refuse to do the polite thing and go away. And that’s certainly true of this one, which had me going round in circles for nearly 20 years to the point where it almost drove me crazy. ‘Plus & Minus’ is based in part on a chord sequence that was born way back in 2004, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it has taken all those long, intervening years to fully resolve it. It’s an unusual sort of song for me to write in that it’s an out-and-out three minute pop song. In a slightly ‘Babylon’ style, it revolves around the same idea three times. In ‘Babylon’, we had Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Here we have ‘You know the way desire is … You know the way the light is … You know the way that time is.’ I could see that from the word go. It’s so full of hooks both lyrically and melodically that it needed a tight arrangement to really optimise their value. This took a LOT of work to get right, but we got there in the end…even if the end was 20 years on from the beginning!”

As well as changes in David’s life, an array of other events informed the album’s evolution. Its foundations were set in 2019 , but progress was halted by Covid as well as the subsequent need to twice reschedule his huge White Ladder anniversary tour. Revisiting those songs was a reminder of the classic songcraft and electronic undercurrent that made them so memorable, yet David was also compelled to ambitiously broaden his palette, working with producer Ben de Vries to create dazzlingly rich orchestral strings, horns and woodwind arrangements to correspond with the scale of the themes. A change of location was also a factor, with much of the album recorded in a makeshift studio in Norfolk .

Gray is a songwriter’s songwriter, one of those rare artists who can express themselves as fully through lyrics as through melody, a richly poetic wordsmith with vast musical flair. Dear Life is a big statement, the work of a driven man obsessively focussed on a personal artistic journey.

David adds, “A lot has happened to me. There’s been change on so many levels, all the ups and downs and dramas and tragedies and joys that the slow movement through life brings. This record has been a reckoning with stuff that’s been building up like static for years. But I say this with joy and a smile on my face. I know what I’ve done is as good as anything I could possibly do.”

The Past & Present Tour will commence in January 2025 . Sign up for David Gray’s newsletter HERE

Discovered by Mike Scott of The Waterboys on a stormy Tuesday night in the Quay’s Bar, Galway in the late 1980s, The Saw Doctors grew quickly, touring around Ireland and the UK, including a six-week stint with The Waterboys on the Fisherman’s Blues tour in 1989. The Saw Doctors second single, ‘I Useta Lover’ was a surprise Number One hit in Ireland in 1990, remaining top of the charts for nine weeks, going on to become the biggest selling Irish single ever. The Galway band’s debut album ‘If This Is Rock ’n’ Roll, I Want My Old Job Back which includes the anthemic song ’N17’ has sold a half-a-million copies world-wide.

The Saw Doctors are powered by the band's core songwriting duo, Davy Carton (lead vocals) and Leo Moran (electric guitar) and recently welcomed back one of their founding band members Pearse Doherty on bass guitar, vocals, penny whistle and wooden flute. The eight man lineup features longtime members Rickie O’Neill (drums), Kieran Duddy (keyboards and accordion) and Tommy Carton (backing vocals) as well as acclaimed sidemen, Anthony Thistlethwaite (saxophone, formerly of The Waterboys) and Noelie McDonnell (guitar and backing vocals, The Whileaways).

The Saw Doctors have just finished a three month summer tour that included outdoor shows in Belfast at Custom House Square, Manchester at Castlefield Bowl and Glasgow at Kelvingrove Park with pit stops along the way in Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago as well as two hometown gigs at the Galway Arts Festival Big Top in July.

Carrying the torch of resilience and brimming with infectious energy, The Saw Doctors will kick off a major UK winter tour in London at the famous Hammersmith Apollo on Halloween night, October 31 before playing sell out gigs in Liverpool, Leeds and two shows at the famous Barrowland venue in Glasgow before Christmas.

Josh co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett, which has somehow become so popular that they undertook a live arena tour in 2023 and released a book which topped the Sunday Times Bestseller Charts. He’s co-hosted in over 30 series of the multi-award-winning Channel 4 series The Last Leg, is a team captain on Sky Max’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and co-hosts Sky’s Hold The Front Page. And he has an almost complete collection of Panini football sticker books.

ALBUM DEAR LIFE TO BE RELEASED ON JANUARY 17, 2025

VIA LAUGH A MINUTE RECORDS / SECRETLY DISTRIBUTION

PRE-ORDER / PRE-SAVE HERE

FEATURES THE NEW SINGLE ‘PLUS & MINUS’ – LISTEN HERE / WATCH HERE

David Gray has announced four additional dates for his extensive Past & Present Tour, including extra shows at Dublin’s 3Arena and Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo, as well as a new date at London’s Palladium. This follows the swift sell-out of shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo, and Dublin’s 3Arena. The newly added dates will take place at Dublin’s 3Arena on May 2, Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on May 6, Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on May 8, and London’s Palladium on May 9. Gray’s highly anticipated new album, Dear Life, will be released on January 17, 2025, through his independent label Laugh A Minute Records, in partnership with Secretly Distribution. Possibly the deepest, strangest and loveliest album of his career to date, the album was recently launched alongside its lead single ‘Plus & Minus’.

Tickets for the extra 3Arena Dublin concert on Friday 2 ^nd May on sale from www.ticketmaster.ie

David Gray’s story is unlike any other. He spent almost a decade striving to make a breakthrough, and when it happened it did so in the biggest way imaginable as White Ladder became one of the best-selling British albums of recent decades and established him as an arena-filling artist. As the years have passed, his songcraft has only been deepened by his natural ability to convey specific emotions, atmospheres or, as heard on his acclaimed 2021 album Skellig, a perception of place - all positioning him in the lineage of classic poetic singer-songwriters rather than lovestruck acoustic troubadours. While the likes of Ed Sheeran, Adele and Hozier have acknowledged his influence, David has continued to follow his own artistic path.

Dear Life is Gray’s thirteenth album. It’s the result of “a starburst of songwriting … it just seemed like the gods of songwriting were being kind. The doubting voices didn't turn up.” An album of emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, love and heartbreak, magic, science, loss and acceptance. While it is full of yearning and hope, there is an undercurrent of darkness, a tension between competing forces of hope and despair: a cavalcade of emotions in what is his most lyrically-focused collection to-date.

Premiering on The Radio 2’s Breakfast Show, Dave’s new single, “Plus & Minus” catches the songwriter at his most immediately infectious. The song’s piano refrain frames a duet about a fractured relationship, in which his inimitable voice trades words of disillusionment and despair with newcomer Talia Rae, whose smoky vocal simultaneously evokes equal measures of wit and sadness.

Watch the video to “Plus & Minus” HERE

David adds, “Some unfinished songs just refuse to do the polite thing and go away. And that’s certainly true of this one, which had me going round in circles for nearly 20 years to the point where it almost drove me crazy. ‘Plus & Minus’ is based in part on a chord sequence that was born way back in 2004, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it has taken all those long, intervening years to fully resolve it. It’s an unusual sort of song for me to write in that it’s an out-and-out three minute pop song. In a slightly ‘Babylon’ style, it revolves around the same idea three times. In ‘Babylon’, we had Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Here we have ‘You know the way desire is … You know the way the light is … You know the way that time is.’ I could see that from the word go. It’s so full of hooks both lyrically and melodically that it needed a tight arrangement to really optimise their value. This took a LOT of work to get right, but we got there in the end…even if the end was 20 years on from the beginning!”

As well as changes in David’s life, an array of other events informed the album’s evolution. Its foundations were set in 2019, but progress was halted by Covid as well as the subsequent need to twice reschedule his huge White Ladder anniversary tour. Revisiting those songs was a reminder of the classic songcraft and electronic undercurrent that made them so memorable, yet David was also compelled to ambitiously broaden his palette, working with producer Ben de Vries to create dazzlingly rich orchestral strings, horns and woodwind arrangements to correspond with the scale of the themes. A change of location was also a factor, with much of the album recorded in a makeshift studio in Norfolk.

Gray is a songwriter’s songwriter, one of those rare artists who can express themselves as fully through lyrics as through melody, a richly poetic wordsmith with vast musical flair. Dear Life is a big statement, the work of a driven man obsessively focussed on a personal artistic journey.

David adds, “A lot has happened to me. There’s been change on so many levels, all the ups and downs and dramas and tragedies and joys that the slow movement through life brings. This record has been a reckoning with stuff that’s been building up like static for years. But I say this with joy and a smile on my face. I know what I’ve done is as good as anything I could possibly do.”

The Past & Present Tour will commence in January 2025. Pre-sale tickets for the four new live shows will be available starting at 10am on Tuesday, September 24 and will remain live until remaining tickets go on general sale at 10am on Wednesday, September 25.

An unhelpful masterpiece for regaining personal power.

THE RULES:

1. When you’re young, fail at everything.
2. Ensure people around you think you’re s**t.

4. Drink a lot.
5. Use aforementioned resentments as motivation for creativity and drive.

You will own nothing, be poor and hated, but at least you’ll have integrity.

Rhod Gilbert Brand New Stand-Up Show

RHOD GILBERT

& THE GIANT GRAPEFRUIT

Cork Opera House

Friday 17 ^th October 2025 & Saturday 18 ^th October 2025

The multi-award-winning comedian Rhod Gilbert is bouncing back with a brand-new live show. Starting in January 2024, Rhod will embark upon a full UK and Ireland tour playing over 100 dates nationwide and running until October 2025, with two of the final shows set to take place in Cork Opera House on Friday 17 ^th October and Saturday 18 ^th October 2025.

Tickets from €45.20 including booking fees on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

“DARKLY HILARIOUS...IT’S GOOD TO HAVE HIM BACK” Times

Recognised as one of the finest stand-ups of a generation, Rhod’s last tour ‘The Book of John’, kicked off in 2019 and ran until 2023 (with extra dates added due to overwhelming demand, covid delays, and further postponements due to Rhod’s cancer diagnosis). A highly personal and honest show, Rhod performed ‘The Book of John’ to over 200,000 people, amassing widespread rave reviews, with critics hailing it as his best live show to date.

"BRITAIN’S CROSSEST COMIC ROARS BACK IN STYLE. HILARIOUS TOUR-DE-FORCE” Telegraph When life gives you lemons...

Previously, Rhod was dealing with some pretty pungent life citrus, and an idiot called John. Little did he know that things were about to turn even more sour.... But Rhod’s not bitter; he’s bouncing back and feeling remarkably zesty. Hilariously dark, passionate and way too personal, this is classic Gilbert, squeezing every last drop out of life’s latest curveballs...with a little help from an old adversary.

“VOLCANIC, HIGH-OCTANE HUMOUR. UPROARIOUSLY FUNNY” Guardian

As one of the UK’s leading stand-up comedy talents, Rhod has enjoyed many successful years as a star of television and radio. He currently hosts ‘Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains’ for Comedy Central (now in its fifth series). He has written and presented nine series of Bafta Cymru award-winning ‘Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience’ (BBC One Wales and BBC Two across the network). He’s hosted three series of ‘The Apprentice: You’re Fired’ and is the former host of ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’. He’s regularly hosted ‘Have I Got News for You?’ and has appeared countless times on ‘Qi’, ‘Would I Lie to You?’ and ‘8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown’. He made a very memorable splash on Bafta award-winning ‘Taskmaster’, has hosted ‘Live at The Apollo’ on multiple occasions and has performed three times on ‘The Royal Variety Performance’.

"AS DEVASTATINGLY HILARIOUS AS EVER” Chortle

This new live show sees Rhod back on stage doing what he does best. Candid, hilarious and uplifting; it’s a show about navigating the dark bits and turning life’s giant grapefruits into something approaching lemonade.

RHOD GILBERT ON HIS NEW TOUR:

“After the year I’ve had it’s wonderful to be alive and going back on the road.
I can’t wait to get back on stage and I’m ready to get way too personal about life’s recent ups and downs. When life gives you lemons, you have to squeeze them 'til the

comedy juice flows, so prepare for some dark but funny s***”.

Renowned Irish singer Mary Coughlan has announced details of a 40 ^th Anniversary tour, which concludes with a night in 3Olympia Theatre on 1 ^st December 2024.

Tickets from €41.50 including booking fees on sale now from Ticketmaster.ie

Mary Coughlan’s career in music has been one hell-of-a-ride. Often described as the greatest female vocalist that Ireland has ever produced, Coughlan proudly stands alongside some of the world’s most iconic jazz singers. She is unique in blending whisky-blurred, smoke-seared, husky notes with the laconic wit of Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee. She draws the line of deep, down and dirty blues singers back to Bessie Smith with the sardonic, bitter-sweet defiance and despair of Edith Piaf. Yet Mary Coughlan delivers it all in a delicious and unapologetic Irish drawl: sceptical, rueful, mournful and melting and ardent for love.

Mary Coughlan is one of our greatest singers because over 40 years she has made the most grown-up, uncompromising, wholly personal yet utterly universal music on either side of the Atlantic about what goes on between men and women.

It's hard to believe that four decades have passed since Coughlan went into the studio to record her debut album, Tired and Emotional.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join this iconic artist in celebrating 40 years in music.

Leisureland, Galway – Thursday 17 ^th October 2024

University Concert Hall, Limerick – Friday 18 ^th October 2024

3Olympia Theatre, Dublin - Sunday 20 ^th October 2024

40 years since the release his quadruple-platinum selling debut album, Australian comedian/songwriter Kevin Bloody Wilson is heading back out on the road and is set to bring his 40 Years of Kevin Bloody Wilson with three Irish shows in Leisureland, Galway on Thursday 17 ^th October 2024, University Concert Hall, Limerick on Friday 18 ^th October 2024 and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Sunday 20 ^th October 2024.

Tickets from €32 including booking fees on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

There are few international comedians today who shoot down political correctness with such comedic pin point accuracy as Australia’s Kevin Bloody Wilson.

While todays Age Of Outrage has his contemporaries ducking for cover over anything slightly controversial, Kev crushes PC eggshells with the grace and diplomacy of a wounded buffalo. Kev’s famous DILLIGAF* approach to PC is a breath of fresh air, direct, clever and outrageously funny. He doesn’t mince words and he doesn’t rely on subtlety to get his point across. In his new show FUPC, Kev tackles political correctness head on. His BS filters and brilliant comedic mind enables him say it as he sees it in a way we wish we all could. His directness totally embodies the spirit of Australian humour.

In recent times, Kevin Bloody Wilson has become a sought after social commentator and the media’s ‘go to guy’ for his comical, yet common sense take on political correctness. After a recent appearance on Australia’s 60 minutes programme, host Charles Wooley commented, “If political correctness was a disease, Kevin Bloody Wilson would be the cure”.

Australia - Canada - South Africa - New Zealand - England - Ireland - Scotland - Wales - Kevin Bloody Wilson is revered around the globe for his Outback Aussie Outlaw take on life. He’s performed everywhere throughout his career, from outback pubs and shearing sheds to the hallowed halls of the London Palladium, packing out major venues wherever he performs. An evening in the company of Kevin Bloody Wilson is must see for all of us desperately in need of some PC Pushback. Kev’s is not just a concert performance, it is a full-on event and an opportunity for all of us to tick off our bucket-list – see a ‘national institution ’in concert, done!

It’s been well documented that all of KBW’s non PC Bawdy Ballads contain an infectious singalong quality that stay with you forever. Kev’s FUPC World Tour Show includes a raft of brand new songs that are bound to have his audiences in stitches, from the opening tour title track, FUPC, to his unique take on on the worldwide #Me Too Movement in his hilarious new fan singalong, ‘DIY Me Too!’ Just like DILLIGAF, Dick’taphone, Hey Santa Clause and Living Next Door To Alan, these newly crafted songs are guaranteed to become Kev Klassics.

The Popular Monstour II:World Domination

3Arena Dublin Date Confirmed

Falling In Reverse with special guests Asking Alexandria, Our Last Night and Tech N9ne have confirmed a live date at 3Arena Dublin on 12th December 2024 as part of the The Popular Monstour II : World Domination.

Tickets will go on sale Friday 23 ^rd August at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Formed by lead singer Ronnie Radke in 2008 after his departure from Escape The Fate, Falling in Reverse released their first album, The Drug In Me Is You, in 2011. Their sophomore album, Fashionably Late, followed in 2013, with Just Like You arriving in 2015. Coming Home, the band’s fourth album, was released in 2017.

The band’s fifth album, Popular Monster is released today Friday 16 ^th August.

The fine line between genius and insanity, self-seriousness and self-deprecation, implosion and explosion: that is the phantom zone where FALLING IN REVERSE thrives.

Falling In Reverse founder, frontman, and Machiavellian heroic supervillan / villainous superhero Ronnie Radke is the walking, talking, breathing, spitting, screaming, singing, fighting, loving, hyper-confident, sensitive, and vulnerable embodiment of a generation’s id. He’s the ego and super-ego in the classic Freudian sense, “slipping” all over the place with vicious bite and playful innuendo. With his music, art, and life, he is the living embodiment of broken homes, the frustrated contradiction of self-destruction, and everyday single-minded defiance against a world gone mad.

He shoved the world of Warped Tour kicking and screaming into the vintage decadence of the hard rock scene with the band he formed with his childhood best friend in Las Vegas. Then, even as countless bands followed in his wake, he was on the stylistic move, dominating the social media conversation and crowd sing-alongs with Falling In Reverse’s debut album, The Drug in Me is You, now based in Southern California.

As Revolver, Kerrang!, Alternative Press, and the rest of the rock and metal press anointed him the scene’s new king on the strength of playful self-examinations-turned-anthems like “Raised by Wolves,” “Tragic Magic,” and “I’m Not a Vampire,” Radke and his crew shook up conventions once again, dropping the ironically titled Fashionably Late years before the audience at large had any suspicions about what would hit ‘em.

What began as the “worst music video of all time” (according to media tastemaker VICE) turned into another 20 million YouTube views (for a band closing in on roughly 100 million views total) in “Alone.” Like many parts of the eclectic album, it’s a rap-metal hybrid with a forward-thinking step into modern electro beats. Like the best of Radke’s work, the song serves as both hyper masculine anthem and anxiety confessional. The press and fans followed the band’s every move, documenting each twist and turn. Just Like You mined similar territory with even more precision, from the title track to undeniable metalcore bangers like “Chemical Prisoner” and “Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter),” to the poppy crowd-mover “Sexy Drug,” and heartbreaking ballad, “Brother.”

Coming Home was the album Radke dreamed about making as a kid, teaching himself to play guitar with Blink-182 and Green Day songs, rapping along to Dr. Dre and Eminem,skipping school, going to shows, and doing whatever it took to redefine his life beyond the hardscrabble circumstances of his upbringing, even when the obstacles were of hisown design.

Falling In Reverse release their hugely anticipated fifth album Popular Monster today Friday 16 ^th August.

Gabrielle Confirms 3Arena Dublin Concert Date

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 10:47:39 GMT

Tickets On Sale This Friday

Gabrielle has confirmed a concert date at the 3Arena Dublin on Saturday 29 March 2025.

Tickets go on sale this Friday 7 June at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

From the early ‘90s to the turn of the millennium, Gabrielle was one of the UK’s most successful and beloved artists. With twounforgettable #1 smashes (‘Dreams’ and ‘Rise’), a back catalogue full of Top 10 hits, two albums which reached 4 x Platinum status, two BRIT Awards, two MOBOs and an Ivor Novello, everything she touched seemed to turn to gold.

In the years that followed the release of her 2007 album ‘Always’, you’d be forgiven for thinking that was effectively the end ofGabrielle’s story. And, for a while, you would’ve been (almost) correct. But in recent times, Gabrielle has enjoyed a remarkableresurgence, one that proves that timeless, empowering songwriting and a distinctive voice that is the very definition of soul will never go out of fashion.

A big part of that resurgence comes from the love shown to her by the current wave of iconic artists. Adele recalls being inspired bythe lyric “Dreams can come true” as a child and has been a life-long fan of Gabrielle since, saying, “I remember being mesmerised by her, so pure and so delicate and gentle with her voice and in the way she moved.” And when Adele’s own dreams came true, she returned to her first inspiration and invited Gabrielle to join the bill for her two rapidly sold-out Hyde Park shows in the summer of2022. The result was a sea of faces - some older fans, but many more who would’ve been too young to remember her the first time around - singing Gabrielle’s songs back to her.

It was a special moment. As Gabrielle later reflected, “I got to meet someone I have loved and adored from afar for many years. Thank you Adele for making my dreams come true. You are a phenomenal talent and a beautiful soul inside and out.”

Another high profile supporter emerged that same year. Stormzy invited Gabrielle to cameo in his ambitious video for ‘Mel Made MeDo It’, where she joined a host of artists including Dave, Little Simz, Headie One and Jazzie B. She was also referenced in itsmidpoint monologue, when ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ star Michaela Coel narrated Wretch 32’s words: “Gabrielle once told us dreams can come true, and that sentence emancipated the minds of our pioneers.”

The roots that support Gabrielle’s current rebirth were set when she released ‘Under My Skin’ in 2018. Her first album in more than a decade, the record was heralded as “a heartfelt comeback” by The Guardian on its way to the Top 10. It wasn’t long before she was discovered by a brand new audience too, winning fans with a memorable stint as Harlequin in ‘The Masked Singer’ in 2021.Just weeks later she released her seventh album ‘Do It Again’, which mixed original songs, new takes on all-time classics, and herinterpretations of more modern pop favourites from the likes of Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Rihanna. It shot to #4 on the Official Album Chart - Gabrielle’s highest chart position in twenty years.

Gabrielle’s first big moment of 2023 came when she reprised her role as Harlequin to duet with the eventual winner Charlie Simpson on Labrinth and Emeli Sandé ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’ during the final of ‘The Masked Singer’. This summer will see her play shows with Lionel Richie and Soul II Soul as well as festivals including the Isle of Wight, and a major outdoor headline show at Battersea Park. Gabrielle has proven to be a consistent festival favourite, her instantly recognisable hits ensuring that she becomes a crowd-pleasing main stage attraction when sharing bills with artists as diverse as Manic Street Preachers, Madness, Stereophonics, Black Eyed Peas, Culture Club, David Gray, Simply Red and Diana Ross.

She then embarked upon the ‘30 Years of Dreaming’ headline tour with overwhelming public demand resulting in many shows selling-out more than six months in advance, including London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

Now following the release of her eagerly anticipated new album ‘A Place In Your Heart’ on May 10th, Gabrielle will play select festivals and outdoor shows this summer. 2025 will then see her embark upon her biggest ever Ireland and UK headline tour which comes to arenas across the land including 3Arena Dublin and The O2 in London. The dream continues…

Pat and Faye Shortt return with their sell-out show “Knuckle Down”. Due to popular demand, they are returning with the final leg of the tour. The show is a collection of mad characters that won over audiences in venues throughout Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK.

“Knuckle Down” shows off the incredible talent of these two performers, as they glide seamlessly from stand up to hilarious characterization of everyday Irish people. They have the genius of taking ordinary situations and making us laugh at the mundane. Previously described as being indigenously Irish in their approach and observation of characters. “Knuckle Down” doesn’t disappoint. Characters such as “Michael” (Pat Shortt) the hapless builder (Followed weekly on Tik Tok, X, Insta and Facebook by hundreds of thousands) seems to have the answer to all things that are wrong in the world and shares the advice gifted to him by his late grandmother from Tipperary. Another outrageous character is the “mother of the child” (Faye Shortt) at the school railings waiting to pick up her child PJ, it’s not like her at all to talk bad about anyone but she just can’t help herself, sharing her views on the school principal and her tummy tucking friend back from Turkey.

The sharp wit and physical comedy genius of this comedic duo will have you in pain with laughter. Don’t miss this final opportunity to catch this hilarious sell-out show before it closes.

CHRIS de BURGH 50LO TOUR 2024/25

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 11:27:17 GMT

Irish Tour Dates Confirmed

Chris de Burgh has confirmed Irish concert dates for March 2025. He will play Bord Gais Energy Theatre, Dublin on 09 March, Cork Opera House on 11 March and National Opera House Wexford on 13 March. Tickets go on sale this Thursday at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Chris de Burgh celebrates a remarkable and rare career milestone during 2024, half a century as a recording artist. Yet when he signed his first recording contract in 1974 and his debut album, ‘Far beyond These Castle Walls’, was released by A&M Records that same year, Chris did not look beyond the immediate future.

“As I held a copy of that record in my hands, I had absolutely no idea that this would even go any further,” he recalls. “I was incredibly naive about the music business but I was full of hope and dreams and, spectacularly, my dreams not only came true, they came truer than true. I had no concept that I was going to last as long as this. Fifty years? Wow!”

A song from that first album offered a very early glimpse of what might lie ahead for Chris; the single ‘Flying’ spent 17 straight weeks at No.1 in Brazil. “I thought ‘Right, I’m off! A world star, overnight!’,” Chris remembers. “Not a chance. From then on, it was a real, real slog and a hard, hard time, but the grounding that I’d had in my parents’ hotel, Bargy Castle, performing for the guests there made me believe that I did have something that I could give to people.”

Gradually, market after market – Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Norway, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Lebanon , to name a few – tuned into his music with the release of each new album and a solid foundation for a lasting and meaningful international career was built.

“What I was trying to achieve was looking at a globe of the world and turning lights on within it,” says Chris. “Some of them took longer to come on, some of them never came on, some of them have dimmed subsequently, which is of course entirely natural.

“I put in a huge amount of travelling and work because, at the end of it, there’s only one me. I’m the engine. I write all the songs, all the lyrics, do all the TV shows, all the radio shows, all the interviews.”

Over the course of five decades, Chris has achieved worldwide album sales more than 45 million, performed approaching 4,000 concerts globally and, perhaps more remarkably than anything else, continued to make his music, his way for his loyal followers. “Without the love and support of my audience I would never have had such a long career,” Chris acknowledges.

To celebrate that relationship and his musical longevity, Chris will be releasing a new album, ‘50’, in 2024 and embarking on a solo tour throughout Europe and beyond.

“I will select my favourite songs for the new album from each one of my previous studio albums” , he says, “and I will also write and record three new songs. That will be a great way of going out there and saying, ‘This is what I’ve done.’ It’s just a taste of what I’ve done, of course, because I’ve written some 330 songs and counting.”

“The tour will be about referring back to when I started out, as a single guy with a guitar and piano. So, it will be me performing and talking about the music, talking about the origin of the songs and their background.”

Meanwhile, ‘Robin Hood – The Musical’, co-created by Chris and already a smash hit production, will premiere at new locations in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria in 2024, having initially opened in Fulda and then in Munich and Hameln.

“Ticket sales for the production are astonishing,” says Chris, “and 200,000 people have been to see it performed in a small, 700-seat theatre in Fulda. It’s been very exciting and I’m immensely proud of the musical.”

It’s evident from this latest successful twist in his career that Chris continues to be creative and enjoy new challenges.

His last tour, Terribly Funny, sold over one million tickets internationally and was performed in 50 different countries. Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will extend his reach even further and mark the first time this record-breaking comedian has toured in arenas in the UK and Ireland.

MILTON JONES HA!MILTON Nationwide Tour Confirmed

Tickets On Sale This Friday

Milton Jones brings his new live show HA!MILTON to Dublin, Derry, Cork, Galway and Belfast this September.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie and venue box offices.

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it.

He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes…and there’s a bit about tomatoes.

You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff.

A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense.

Seann Walsh: Back from the Bed With Very Special Guest: Fred Cooke

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:52:14 GMT

Live At Liberty Hall, Dublin

Seann Walsh brings his brand-new stand-up show Back from the Bed to Liberty Hall, Dublin on 29 ^th May. Fred Cooke has just been confirmed as very special guest. Tickets are on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

Hello, Seann here. Did you know that comedians have to write their own blurb? I find that absolutely insane. What am I meant to say? “I’m fantastic, come and look at me talk”? I don’t know. It’s me. I do stand-up.

I guess I can start with the fact I renamed the tour. Sticking with ‘Same Again?’ felt a bit triggering after the last few years we’ve had. So it is now called Back from the Bed. Some of the material will be the same as I had always planned and some of it will be new because it will be difficult to avoid mentioning the last few years in which millions of decent people tragically lost their lives to TikTok.

The previous leg of this tour got a lot of standing ovations, which was pleasing. Either that or they were leaving early. Come along if you like me. I’d be confident enough to say come along if you’re on the fence. Cheers. Here are some things I’ve been on...

Seann has starred in series 1-3 of The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Netflix’s Flinch, Live At The Apollo (BBC2), Tonight at The London Palladium (ITV), Celebrity Juice (ITV2), Play To The Whistle (ITV), a team captain for Virtually Famous (C4), 8 Out of 10 Cats (C4), Alan Carr’s Chatty Man (C4), Hey Tracey! (ITV2), Comedians Solve World Problems (Comedy Central) and has made regular appearances on The Jonathan Ross Show. He appeared in Dave Channel’s Campaign Against Living Miserably and is an ambassador for the CALM charity. He also hosts podcast What’s Upset You Now? alongside Paul McAffrey.

‘Unquestionably the best observational comic of his generation’

‘Rosie Jones is completely brazen, downright hilarious and will leave you snorting with laughter’ ★★★★★

(Edinburgh Festivals Magazine)

‘Rosie embodies pure joy. She packs in the jokes, quick wit and has the audience in the palm of her hand’ ★★★★★

(Entertainment Focus)

Ireland's Queens of Comedy are back with their brand new show “Girls World Tour”. After their last sell-out tour which received standing ovations across Ireland and the UK, DirtBirds are bringing their highly relatable and spot-on observational comedy back to the stage.

With a mix of stand-up and sketches this hilarious new show explores the fascinating female mind and answers burning questions like:

Why do we enter 1000 calories into our Noom app when we’ve really consumed over 6,000?

Why do we hold onto tights when they’ve ladders in them?

Why do we keep buying creams that we KNOW won’t stop our faces from sliding down our necks?

Come along to DirtBirds’ new show and make it a girl’s night out ( or if you’re really clever a girls weekend away). Go on…you deserve it!

“DirtBirds comedy is based on observing everyday situations and turning them into very intelligent stand -up, sketches and stories”

The Independent

“Sinead and Sue identify a gap in comedy that women can really relate to…”

The Saw Doctors to play Fairview Park, Dublin

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 14:08:16 GMT

Tickets on sale this Friday 26th January at 9.00am

Following their four sold-out shows at 3Olympia before Christmas and a barnstorming appearance at Electric Picnic last September, The Saw Doctors will play an exclusive Dublin concert at Fairview Park on Saturday 29 ^th June (subject to licence). Tickets will go on sale this Friday 26 ^th January at 9.00am from www.Ticketmaster.ie

The Fairview Park concert is part of a trio of Summer outdoor shows for The Saw Doctors with the Tuam shams lined up to play Central Park in New York on July 17 and Manchester Castlefield Bowl on July 6.

After a five-year break from touring, The Saw Doctors staged a brilliant comeback last year with sold-out shows in London at Hammersmith Apollo, New York at Hammerstein Ballroom and two homecoming shows in Tuam where they played to 10,000 people in St. Jarlath’s Arena.

The Saw Doctors are powered by song writers Davy Carton (vocals) and Leo Moran (guitar) with a band line-up including former Waterboy Anthony Thistlethwaite on saxophone, Rickie O’Neill, drums Will Merrigan, bass guitar, Kieran Duddy, keyboards and Noelie McDonnell, backing vocals.

Discovered by Mike Scott of The Waterboys on a stormy Tuesday night in Galway City in the late 1980s, The Saw Doctors grew quickly, touring around Ireland and Great Britain, including a six-week stint with The Waterboys on the Fisherman’s Blues tour in 1989.

The Saw Doctors second single, ‘I Useta Lover’ was a surprise Number One hit in Ireland in 1990, remaining top of the charts for nine weeks, going on to become the biggest selling Irish single ever.

In August 2021, The Saw Doctors scored a surprise chart success when the vinyl re-release of the band’s debut album 'If This Is Rock And Roll, I Want My Old Job Back’ landed at No. 3 in the Irish Album charts.

“If The Saw Doctors could bottle the sort of bonhomie that can make an entire

concert hall feel better, they would have the medicine show to end them all.”

DAVID GRAY CELEBRATES THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEBUT ALBUM A CENTURY ENDS

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:20:41 GMT

A SERIES OF SHOWS IN DUBLIN AND LONDON

EXCLUSIVELY FEATURING SONGS FROM A CENTURY ENDS AND THE FOLLOW-UP FLESH

WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP GRAY, NEILL MACCOLL & CRAIG MCCLUNE

PRAISE FOR A CENTURY ENDS:

“An assured debut… modern and traditional British folk styles with Morrisonesque fervour.” - Rolling Stone

“Gray grabs the listener with his poetic lyrics and takes off on an introspective ten-song ride through desperation, regret, lost love, and a longing for change.” - Allmusic

We all know that David Gray’s White Ladder proved to be the catalyst for huge critical and commercial success. As a multi-Platinum selling and Ivor Novello-winning album, the iconic release made David Gray a household name – a position he has since sustained more than 20 years later. But six years earlier, the then 24-year-old Gray was an undiscovered songwriter, having just released his debut album A Century Ends. Now, David Gray celebrates the 30th anniversary of the album’s release by announcing a series of intimate A Century Ends shows in London and Dublin.

Aside from making a fleeting chart impact in Ireland, A Century Ends went largely unnoticed upon its initial release. But with 30 years of wisdom, it’s now easy to recognise its significance within David’s discography. Opening track ‘Shine’ has become a regular part of his live shows in the years that followed, while other songs such as ‘Debauchery’, ‘Wisdom’ and ‘Birds Without Wings’ also possess the passionate vocal delivery, acute songcraft and surfeit of emotions that later connected with mainstream audiences as his career went global with White Ladder.

The A Century Ends shows will commence at Omeara in London on January 30 and will then head to Dublin for a four-night run at Whelan’s - the final show of these dates coming precisely 30 years to the day since David first played the storied venue. For those signed-up to David Gray’s MAILER , a pre-sale code will be made available from 10am on Wednesday, December 6. General sale HERE from 10am on Friday, December 8 ^th .

David’s Whelan’s debut marked a significant turning point in his career, after he had spent much of the previous months touring England with little success. The gig had been DIY promoted by Donal Scannell, and RTÉ presenter Donal Dineen, known for his celebrated TV show No Disco. David arrived in a similar DIY fashion - with no tour manager, no sound engineer, and no backdrop - just his bandmates Neil MacColl (guitar) and Craig McClune (drums, playing with just one hand, having recently broken his arm) to find the place packed from wall-to-wall.

With the poet Pat Ingoldsby introducing David on stage, it was the night when the enduring shared love between David and Ireland first began. White Ladder remains the biggest selling album in the nation’s history (now a staggering 20x Platinum), while David’s many unforgettable shows in Ireland have included Marlay Park, Dublin Castle, Musgrave Park, and last year’s three-night stand at the 3Arena.

These new dates will see David reunited with Neill MacColl and Craig McClune, and the trio will perform songs exclusively from A Century Ends and its follow-up, 1994’s Flesh.

David says, “I've wanted to focus on A Century Ends for some time, and this feels like the right moment to do so. I think it’s a defining record in the same way that White Ladder was. It was my first record, and it tells the story of who I am just as vividly as White Ladder does. I also remember how those early gigs were so special. It’s going to be so intense - I might even revisit my 1994 look and bleach my hair blonde!”

The dates are:

JANUARY

30th - London, Omeara

FEBRUARY

1st - Dublin, Whelan’s

2nd - Dublin, Whelan’s

3rd - Dublin, Whelan’s

4th - Dublin, Whelan’s

Ireland’s Favourite Irishman Abroad Blew Up Across Social Media In 2023. Now, for the very first time, he brings his brand new stand-up show to the most legendary Dublin venue of them all, the 3Olympia Theatre.

Following millions of views, shares and downloads across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, Jarlath Regan is proud to announce his biggest show ever in the city where it all began. The award winning Kildare man will film his new stand-up special on January 20th in the historic 3Olympia Theatre. Through making sense of the nonsensical, finding the funny in the stuff we all take for granted and performing timeless stand-up comedy routines about the Irish Mammy, weddings, Irish life, raising kids and marriage, Jarlath has earned rave reviews, comparisons to Dave Allen and fans across the globe. His new show is sure to be another classic that he tours the world with in 2024.

Jarlath first came to public attention for his multi-million download podcast phenomenon Irishman Abroad, and his standout tv appearances on Tonight At The Palladium, Russell Howard’s Good News, How To Win The Eurovision and The Apprentice “You’re Fired”. After a huge wave in support, millions of views and downloads, being named Irish Comedian Of The Year and supporting Jack Whitehall on his arena tour, Jarlath brings his newest hour of stand-up to Dublin’s favourite comedy venue.

Jarlath became one of the most talked about names in comedy and activism when he donated a kidney to his brother in 2017. His hilarious show Organ Freeman won him rave reviews and a standing ovations everywhere he played.

"Had the audience shaking so violently with laughter they probably could have charged their phones"

EDINBURGH FESTIVALS MAGAZINE

Jarlath left Dublin for the streets of London 10 years ago and hit the ground running. While booking major television appearances on Tonight At The Palladium, Russell Howard’s Good News, Standup Central and tour support for comedy supremos Jack Whitehall and Marc Maron, he has been lauded by the press for his interviewing masterclasses with some of entertainment’s most reclusive characters including Boy George, Sharon Horgan, Gabriel Byrne, Paul McGrath, Mary Robison, Dylan Moran, Sonia O’Sullivan, Hozier, Annie Mac and John C. Reilly. The Guardian went as far as to say that "Every single young person reading this should go download this podcast and listen to it every week for the rest of time."

Known for his ability to spin a yarn while rinsing a subject for every punchline available, Jarlath also creates Ireland’s number parenting podcast with his wife Tina (Honey, You’re Ruining Our Kid). With Jarlath Regan Live At 3Olympia he returns to the city he loves the most to find the laugh out loud absurdity in all our lives.

“Come and see this one of a kind show from “a very funny man at the peak of his powers”

With a mix of stand-up and sketches this hilarious new show explores the fascinating female mind and answers burning questions like:

Why do we enter 1000 calories into our Noom app when we’ve really consumed over 6,000?

Why do we hold onto tights when they’ve ladders in them?

Why do we keep buying creams that we KNOW won’t stop our faces from sliding down our necks?

Come along to DirtBirds’ new show and make it a girl’s night out ( or if you’re really clever a girls weekend away). Go on…you deserve it!

“DirtBirds comedy is based on observing everyday situations and turning them into very intelligent stand -up, sketches and stories”

The Independent

“Sinead and Sue identify a gap in comedy that women can really relate to…”

Jason Byrne, half man, half natural disaster. Over the course of his accident-prone life Jason has been rebuilt from the ground up. Bits removed, metal pins, new knee, and an eye that’s been treated, over the years, by the medical profession like a game of Pong. This culminated last year with heart surgery, twice! He enjoyed it so much he went back for more.

Join the most gifted live comedian on the planet as he invites you to laugh at his misfortune.

If he tried to say Schadenfreude, he’d probably dislocate his tongue.

Andrew Schulz The Life Tour 3Arena Dublin

Tickets on sale now

With sold-out shows in venues across North America and the UK, Andrew Schulz brings The Life Tour to 3Arena, Dublin on 12 ^th October 2023. Tickets on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

Welcome to The Life Tour, a never-before-seen journey through the complicated mind of Andrew Schulz where he explores the realms of current events, politics, and the beautiful chaos of creating life. Join Schulz as he takes you on a comedic exploration of existence in all its messy glory. With The Life Tour you’re in for an evening of irreverent humour and astute insights that only Schulz can deliver. Get ready to laugh, think, and maybe even shed a tear – because that’s LIFE!

New York native, international touring stand-up comic and podcaster, Andrew Schulz is known for his hilarious and unfiltered comedy. Schulz capped off his last North American tour, Infamous, by selling out the 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall twice in one night. In addition to the 150,000+ fans who came out to the tour, Schulz’s stand up and podcast content receives 12 million views across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok per week.

After rejecting creative notes on his recent special by the streamer, Schulz purchased the project back himself and distributed it through his own website and subsequently put it up on YouTube. 16 million views later, it is the most viewed comedy special on YouTube.

Andrew’s strategy of releasing his specials on YouTube and clips of his stand-up across social media platforms has become the new standard for comedians around the world.

Andrew also wrapped up a wild 2020 creating and starring in Netflix's “Schulz Saves America,” taking on the year's most divisive topics in a fearlessly raw and irreverent four-part special. The special was inspired by his weekly ‘Turn Your Phone’ rants, which exploded during the pandemic.

In the podcast sphere, Schulz’s wildly popular show, Flagrant, is viewed by two million devout fans per week. He also co-hosts Brilliant Idiots with legendary radio & television personality, Charlamagne tha God.

Recent projects with Schulz as an actor include the remake of the classic streetball comedy White Men Can’t Jump, which has him sharing the screen with Jack Harlow. He also appeared in Netflix’s romantic comedy You People, toplined by Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Schulz will soon be seen alongside Snoop Dogg in the MGM football comedy, Underdoggs, as well as a drama titled The Thicket starring Peter Dinklage.

Nothing is off limits for Schulz, from culture to race to politics. His audiences are some of the most diverse among any working comedian, with fans vying to sit in the front rows of his shows to experience his merciless and masterful crowd work. There’s only one rule at his shows—everyone gets these jokes.

“puts the ‘boo’ into book tour” – The Guardian

“had the crowd hooting and hanging, insatiably, on every line.” -The Telegraph

“Seriously, buy this book.” – ThisisHorror.co.uk

“A pitch-perfect parody of terrible genre writing” - Chortle

In this second novel of interconnected mini-novels, INCARCERAT, Steen is abducted and imprisoned at Nulltec, a shadowy technological research facility hidden deep among the Stalkford downs. There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination.

The publication of INCARCERAT is scheduled for 31st October 2023, and the book tour will follow shortly after. Garth Marenghi is the pseudonym of writer and director Matthew Holness, who is best known for his role as the fictional horror author in the cult Channel 4 comedy series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Holness is the author of many short stories for horror anthologies and has written and directed several films, including the horror feature Possum.

The World of Hans Zimmer A New Dimension Comes To 3Arena Dublin

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 16:14:06 GMT

European Tour 2024

The World of Hans Zimmer

A New Dimension

Tickets are on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor Gavin Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. Gavin Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The double album “The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration” was released in 2019 with Sony Classical.

Gladys Knight The Farewell Tour Extra Date Added

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 15:30:39 GMT

Empress of Soul

The Farewell Tour

Due To Phenomenal Demand

Extra Date Added

Due to phenomenal demand Empress of Soul, the legendary Gladys Knight, has confirmed a second concert date at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Sunday 4 ^th June.

She will now play two dates at 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 3 ^rd and Sunday 4 ^th June 2023 as part of The Farewell Tour.

Tickets for the extra date will go on sale this Friday at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in Pop, Gospel, R&B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance.

Georgia-born, Knight began performing gospel music at age four in the Mount Mariah Baptist Church and sang as a guest soloist with the Morris Brown College Choir. Three years later, she won the grand prize on television’s “Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour,” and the following year, her mother Elizabeth Knight created the group consisting of Gladys, her brother Bubba, her sister Brenda and her cousins William and Elenor Guest. They called themselves The Pips in honour of their cousin/manager, James Pip Woods. In 1959, Brenda and Elenor left the group, replaced by cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston George. The group was renamed Gladys Knight & The Pips, and following George’s departure in 1962, the classic line-up was in place.

The group debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was just sixteen. With Knight singing lead and The Pips providing lush harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status, having recorded some of the most memorable songs of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Top 20 hits, like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” and “If I Were Your Woman,” set the stage for an amazing run in the mid-1970s, with Top 10 gold-certified singles like “Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye),” “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination,” “Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me” and the #1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia” established Gladys Knight and The Pips as the premiere pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world. The party kept rolling with hits like “On and On” from the Academy Award nominated soundtrack of Curtis Mayfield’s “Claudine,” the 1974 comedy about love in the inner city. Knight enjoyed another #1 hit in 1985 when she teamed with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Dionne Warwick on “That’s What Friends are For.” She and Stevie Wonder sang together again for the successful Frank Sinatra Duets II album, joining his voice for the song “For Once in My Life” in 1994.

All told, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including four solo albums during the past decade: “Good Woman” (1991); “Just for You” (1994); the inspirational “Many Different Roads” (1999); and “At Last” (2001). “At Last” showed the world that she still has what it takes to record a hit album, employing the talents of contemporary producers like Randy Jackson, Gary Brown and James D.C. Williams III, Jon John, Jamey Jaz, Keith Thomas, Tom Dowd and Tiger Roberts.

Her involvement in other creative undertakings, business ventures and humanitarian activities has been extensive, and has brought her honors from industry and community alike. In 1986, she produced and starred in the Cable Ace Award-winning “Sisters in the Name of Love,” an HBO special co-starring Dionne Warwick and Patti LaBelle. That same year, she showcased her acting ability when she co-starred with Flip Wilson in the CBS comedy “Charlie & Co.” Other acting roles followed on such TV shows as “Benson,” “The Jefferson’s” and “New York Undercover,” and in such television films as “Pipe Dreams,” “An Enemy Among Us” and “Desperado.” She recorded the title theme for the James Bond movie “License to Kill” (1989). In 1999, she completed a starring run on Broadway in the smash musical hit “Smokey Joe’s Café.”

In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. Knight published an autobiography, “Between Each Line of Pain and Glory” (a line taken from her million selling recording “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”), in 1997, and the next year, she and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. In 2004, Knight received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the annual BET Awards ceremony.

THE MAGICAL DEAD CAT TOUR

DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND

EXTRA DATE ADDED AT 3OLYMPIA THEATRE DUBLIN

Dear Human Beings,

Hello, I am a Magical Dead Cat, the titular Magical Dead Cat from the very title of this very show. After a hugely successful tour of the antipodes, I the Magical Dead Cat have once again put the Aunty Donna boys to the test and have asked them to travel to the faraway lands of USA, Canada, UK & Ireland to perform their wonderfully riotous sketch comedy to the citizens of these countries for the first time in over 5 years.

Their new challenge? Entertain me with a 75ish minute live show, one that features all new sketches, but also a few fan favourites. It MUST include funny voices, incredible costumes, and silly songs. If Aunty Donna succeeds in pleasing me with a rip-roarin’ show, I have promised to surprise them with a special, web slinging, mystery guest!

Come, sweet humans, and see if Broden, Zach and Mark are up for the task!

With loving grace,

The Magical Dead Cat.

THE 30 YEARS OF DREAMING TOUR

EXTRA DATE ADDED AT 3OLYMPIA

D ue to demand Gabrielle has added an extra concert date at 3Olympia, Dublin on 16 ^th November as part of her 30 Years of Dreaming Tour 2023.

Tickets for the extra date go on sale this Monday 27 ^th March from Ticketmaster.ie

Gabrielle will play 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 15 ^th and 16 ^th November; Leisureland, Galway on 17 ^th November; Millennium Forum, Derry on 19 ^TH November (sold-out): and Ulster Hall, Belfast 20 ^th November 2023.

Special guests for the tour are Wallis Bird and Skinny Living.

The tour will see her celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of her era-defining smash hit #1 single ‘Dreams’ and perform highlights from her catalogue of hits, which also include ‘Rise’, ‘Out Of Reach’ and ‘Sunshine’.

Gabrielle says, “Going on tour to celebrate 30 years of ‘Dreams’ is just amazing. I can’t wait to party with everyone and celebrate the record that launched my career three decades ago! Time sure does fly when you are having fun.”

Gabrielle made an immediate impact when her debut single ‘Dreams’ spent three weeks at #1 in the summer of 1993. Her second#1 single, ‘Rise’, followed in 2000 and was embraced by fans as an anthem that helped them inspire them to keep the faith that better days would follow in the future. Her catalogue of hits includes a further eight Top 10 hits, notably ‘Out Of Reach’ (which featured in ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’), ‘If You Ever’ (with East 17) and ‘Give Me A Little More Time’.

That success extended to albums too. Her 1999 #1 album ‘Rise’ was one of the most successful of the era and has been certified 4 x Platinum, a status matched by the compilation ‘Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits’. In total, six of her albums have reached the Top 10, including 2018’s ‘Under My Skin’

Gabrielle’s popularity was matched by a succession of major awards. Highlights included two BRITs (Best British Female and Best British Breakthrough) as well MOBO Awards for Best Single (‘Give Me A Little More Time’) and Best Album (‘Rise’). After being nominated on five separate occasions, she won her first Ivor Novello Award in 2008 when she was honoured with the prestigious accolade for Outstanding Song Collection.

After earning a new generation of fans during her show-stealing performances on the 2021 edition of ‘The Masked Singer’, Gabrielle’s resurgence continued when her album ‘Do It Again’ flew into the charts at #4 - her highest chart position in almost twenty years. Now with a huge tour and two of the biggest shows of her career coming up, Gabrielle’s well-deserved era of rediscovery continues.

Lukas Nelson + POTR Confirm Dublin and Belfast Concert Dates

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 20:06:59 GMT

“MORE THAN FRIENDS” FEAT. LAINEY WILSON OUT NOW; OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO DEBUTS AT CMT

SPRING HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF APRIL 1

GRAMMY Award-winning artist Lukas Nelson will release his highly anticipated new album, Sticks and Stones, July 14 via 6ACE Records/Thirty Tigers ( pre-save/pre-order ).

Ahead of the release, the official music video for the first single, “More Than Friends,” featuring CMA and ACM Award-winning artist, Lainey Wilson, debuted at CMT .

Of the collaboration, Nelson shares, “When I wrote ‘More Than Friends,’ I had always envisioned it as a duet. I am a big fan of Lainey and she was at the top of my list of artists I wanted to sing with me on this track. When we sent her the song, I was thrilled to hear back that she loved it and wanted to do it.”

Additionally, Wilson shares, “‘More Than Friends’ is a modern day take on the musical, kindred spirits of icons like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. I’m so honored to be able to work with someone as talented as Lukas. His artistry and storytelling within music is unlike any other.”

Sticks and Stones was written solely by Nelson with the hope of bringing people together at the forefront of his mind, bringing upbeat energy and a sense of fun. Across the album’s twelve spirited tracks, Nelson explores the universal human experiences of love, celebration, longing and humor. Self-produced by Nelson and his longtime band, POTR,Sticks and Stones captures the band’s musical power and fits perfectly alongside the canon of the electric live performances they’re known for.

Reflecting on the record, Nelson shares, “This album is about celebrating the human connection, joy and excitement. We went from quiet and introspective on A Few Stars Apart to something big and fun to really showcase the band’s talent and performance. You can listen to the album Sticks and Stones from start to finish and get the songs to dance to and then the quiet, poignant songs. To me, this album is the perfect setlist.”

Ahead of the release, Nelson + POTR will kick off their spring headline tour April 1 in Charles Town, WV. The band will visit 18 cities on the tour, including two nights at Wilmington, NC’s Greenfield Lake Amphitheater as well as stops in New Orleans, Texas and four shows in Southern California followed by a just announced nine-show run across the U.K. and Ireland in June. See below for complete tour itinerary.

ABOUT LUKAS NELSON + POTR

Since his debut over a decade ago, Texas and Hawaii-based Nelson has toured the world with POTR, playing countless sold-out shows and festivals, winning fans with electric live performances and a singular sound. He’s also released seven studio albums to date including his most recent, 2021’s A Few Stars Apart. Produced by Dave Cobb, the album spent seven weeks at #1 on the Americana Albums chart and received widespread acclaim, with Rolling Stone declaring, “His best album yet…Nelson’s most compact, streamlined, and focused album,” while The Tennessean affirmed, “a collection of lyrically stirring, musically multifarious and ultimately hopeful roots rock storytelling.” Nelson also co-produced the music for 2018’s lauded A Star Is Born in addition to appearing in the film, and went on to win a BAFTA Award for Best Original Music, and a GRAMMY Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

ABOUT LAINEY WILSON

Six-time CMA Award nominee and ACM New Female of the Year 2022 winner, Lainey Wilson has earned the enthusiasm of the industry, having been named to nearly every “Artist to Watch” list, winning MusicRow Magazine’s Discovery Artist of the Year, Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year award and being crowned Billboard’s “Top New Country Artist of 2021,” the Louisiana native is one of Nashville’s hottest and most buzzed-about new artists. Landing her first #1 with her PLATINUM-Certified ACM Song of the Year “Things A Man Oughta Know,” nearly 10 years to the day after leaving her small farming community in a camper trailer to chase her dreams, she has won over legions of fans with her signature Bell Bottom Country sound and aesthetic, which blends traditional Country with a modern yet retro flare. A prolific and sought-after songwriter (having co-writer credits on songs by artists including Luke Combs, Flatland Cavalry and more), Lainey is a fresh, fierce voice in Nashville, delivering CMA nominated album of the year with her label debut, Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’. With a rockstar stage presence, her artistry has taken her across the globe, performing for sold-out crowds throughout the US, UK, and Germany with notable names like Jon Pardi, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde and more. Her current single (Top 35 and climbing), “Heart Like a Truck” is the follow up to her recent return to the top of the Country radio charts with the two-week No. 1 hit, “Never Say Never” with Cole Swindell. She will release her hotly anticipated album, Bell Bottom Country on October 28, just before making her acting debut on the hit series Yellowstone on November 13.

The Saw Doctors Confirm Hometown Concert Date

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 21:12:12 GMT

The Saw Doctors

Exclusive Irish Concert

Hometown Concert Date Confirmed

T he Saw Doctors will play an exclusive Irish show this summer in their home town Tuam, on Saturday August 19th in a Big Top marquee in the grounds of St. Jarlath’s College.

Tickets for The Saw Doctors concert, titled ’The West’s Awake’, will go on sale on Friday March 24 ^th at 9.00m from www.ticketmaster.ie

After a five year break from touring, The Saw Doctors played a series of ‘comeback’ gigs in the UK last winter, selling out London Brixton Academy, Manchester Apollo and two concerts at the famous Glasgow Barrowlands.

In June The Saw Doctors will play Glastonbury, heading the Acoustic Stage at the festival on Friday June 23rd. Davy Carton, Leo Moran and the Tuam shams will also headline the Wickham Festival in Hampshire in August and the Moseley Folk & Arts festival in Birmingham in September.

The Saw Doctors scored a surprise chart success when the vinyl release of the band’s debut album “If This Is Rock And Roll, I Want My Old Job Back’ landed at No. 3 in the Irish Album charts in August 2021. The Saw Doctors debut album was first released in 1991, going straight to No.1 in the Irish Charts with the singles, ‘I Useta Lover’ topping the charts for nine weeks and ’N17’ climbing to No. 2 in the charts.

The Saw Doctors last played Tuam when they sold out the local football Stadium in the glory days of the band’s break out success in September 1991.

“If The Saw Doctors could bottle the sort of bonhomie that can make an entire
concert hall feel better, they would have the medicine show to end them all”.
The Times

"the great Irish Band, The Saw Doctors"
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission

“Born into a repressed, catholic, conservative, small-town, agrarian, angst-ridden
and showband infested society, The Saw Doctors are trying to preserve the positive
elements of our Irish background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally
invaded our milieu through TV, radio, social media, 45’s, fast food restaurants, 24-hour
petrol stations and electric blankets".

John Fogerty The Bad Moon Rising Celebration Tour

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:17:40 GMT

Performing his songs from Creedence Clearwater Revival

Live!

John Fogerty will perform his iconic songs from Creedence Clearwater Revival and more on The Bad Moon Rising Celebration Tour at 3Arena Dublin on 23 May.

Tickets go on sale this Tuesday at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

John Fogerty is a true American treasure. As the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), Fogerty forged a distinctive, ground-breaking sound all his own, equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock ‘n’ roll, all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective. Fogerty is a Grammy winner and has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as well as the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his song, Centerfield, a staple at baseball stadiums across the USA. Among Fogerty’s many hit songs, which have sold over 100 million records, both as a solo artist and as leader of CCR, highlights include Proud Mary, Susie Q, Fortunate Son, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising and Have You Ever Seen the Rain among many others.

In 2019, Fogerty celebrated 50 years in music with a worldwide tour with his show, “My 50 Year Trip.” An album, 50 Year Trip: Live at Red Rocks, featuring a collection of Creedence Clearwater Revival hits, including songs from the set list of his performance at the legendary Woodstock music festival in 1969 among other fan favorites, was released on November 8, 2019. In December 2020 Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle Vol. 1 hit the milestone of charting for more than 500 weeks on the Billboard 200, becoming only the eighth album to ever do so.

Fogerty recently partnered with Concord on the official release of Creedence Clearwater Revival At The Royal Albert Hall on the label’s Craft Recordings. More than 50 years after the legendary 1970 show, the original multitrack tapes were meticulously restored and mixed by GRAMMY®-winning producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell. The accompanying documentary takes viewers from CCR’s earliest years together in El Cerrito, CA through their meteoric rise to fame, and is the only concert footage of the original CCR line-up to be released in its entirety.

In 2023, Fogerty, the composer of iconic songs that have inspired generations – Proud Mary, Down on the Corner, Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen the Rain among many others – acquired a majority interest of the worldwide publishing rights to his historic song catalogue from Concord. The compositions have been both a decades-long dream and a personal mission for John. For years, the copyrights to Fogerty’s classic songs were the property of Saul Zaentz, the owner of Fantasy Records, who sold the label and its publishing portfolio to the former Concord Music Group in 1995. Fogerty, who extricated himself from Fantasy in 1974, re-signed with the label upon its purchase by Concord. Even so, he was not able to gain ownership of his songs – until now.

“As of this January, I own my own songs again. This is something I thought would never be a possibility. After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs. I also have a say in where and how my songs are used. Up until this year, that is something I have never been able to do. I am looking forward to touring and celebrating this year! I want to thank Concord for helping to make all of this happen. And, I am excited for new ideas and a renewed interest in my music … like a revival,” said John Fogerty.

THE RUPAUL DRAG RACE UK NEED TO KNOW DRAGTIONARY

· Beat: To apply your makeup flawlessly.
Used in a sentence: "Girl, you beat your face so good, I can't stop looking at it."

· Charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent: The four elements that a queen has to have to take Drag Race crown. It's also an acronym for cunt.

Used in a sentence: "You're going to need to use all your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to win this challenge.

· Condragulations: The drag version of congratulations.
Used in a sentence: "Condragulations you are the winner of this week's challenge."

· Dragmother: Queens on the show often refer to their 'drag families', the families they have made with other queens and members of the gay community when their own families wouldn't accept them. Dragmothers are the queens who took them under their wings and taught them the art of drag.

Used in a sentence: "Alyssa Edwards is dragmother to Gia Gunn, Laganja Estranja and Shangela."

· Eleganza extravaganza: A runway category in which queens must serve pure elegance.
Used in a sentence: "The category is: eleganza extravaganza."

· Fish: Basically refers to looking/feeling ultra-feminine. To "serve fish" or to feel "fishy" is to be extra girly.
Used in a sentence: "Tonight I am serving pure fish on the runway."

· Gag: For something to be so amazing that you have an actual physical reaction.
Used in a sentence: "Her dress on the runway was so good it had me gagging."

· Gurl/girl: The term queens use to address other queens, usually when they're about to read them.
Used in a sentence: "Gurl, look how orange you fucking look."

· Lip sync for your life: The bottom two queens from each week lip sync against each other. Whoever impresses Ru the least is eliminated.
Used in a sentence: "The time has come for you to lip sync for your life. Good luck and don't fuck it up."

· Read: To criticise or critique. In Drag Race, the act of "reading" is meant to be savage and hilarious. RuPaul opens the "library" where queens read each other once a season. This has spawned the catchphrase "Reading is fundamental".
Used in a sentence: "I'm sick of the judges reading me for my outfits."

· Realness: To do something authentically. Often on the runway the queens are "serving XX realness."
Used in a sentence: "Tonight on the runway I'm serving Vivienne Westwood realness."

· Sashay away: RuPaul tells eliminated contestants to "sashay away", in what is now one of the show's most iconic catchphrases.
Used in a sentence: "I'm sorry my dear, but the time has come for you to sashay away."

· Serve: One of the most important terms in the Drag Race vernacular; to serve is to use your look to offer the judges something amazing.
Used in a sentence: "Tonight on the runway I am serving executive realness".

· Shade: Insulting someone in a sly, under-the-radar manner (different to a read).
Used in a sentence: "She was throwing serious shade when she insinuated you let the team down this challenge."

· Shantay, you stay: The flip-side of "sashay away", this is how Ru tells a queen who survived the lip sync that she is still in the competition.
Used in a sentence: "Shea Couleé, shantay you stay."

· Sickening: For something to be so incredibly good that it actually makes you sick.
Used in a sentence: "Did you see her Beyoncé impression? It was sickening."

· Sissy that walk: To hit the runway like a supermodel. ("Sissy That Walk" is also the name of a single from Ru's 2014 album Born Naked, which is played while the queens walk the runway throughout the series).
Used in a sentence: "Now sissy that walk."

· Tea/tee/T: T refers to gossip. To "spill the tea" is basically to just talk shit together.
Used in a sentence: "Are you free for drinks tonight? I've got some tea to spill."

· Tuck: Tucking is the art of taping/pulling back your junk while in drag.
Used in a sentence: "Go backstage and untuck."

· Work/Werk: To own it on the runway.
Used in a sentence: "You'd better work, bitch’

EXTRA 3ARENA DUBLIN DATE ADDED

Due to demand Micky Flanagan has just added an extra date at 3Arena Dublin on Saturday 25 March 2023.

Tickets for the extra date are on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie

Mickey will bring his brand new stand-up show If Ever We Needed It... to 3Arena Dublin on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th March 2023.

#mickyflanagan absolutely brilliant in Southend this afternoon on his warm up show - you're in for a treat ! @MickyF_Official

The boy’s as funny as hell and it's only the warm-up shows #iknowitsanemptystage

Just got back from seeing Micky Flanagan pre tour show in Blackpool. Ridiculously funny! If that's a warm-up, the tour will be hysterical!

The show covers Micky turning 60 - who’d have thought it? - as well as having sex with your glasses on, his school alumni and his ballbag. It’s fair to say it’s for over-16s.

He’s the man who gave Britain the “Out Out” phrase, which was used by Piccadilly Circus tube to put a smile on commuters’ faces as we came out out of Lockdown and went on to be used by TFL to encourage people back into theatres, restaurants and clubs. Micky cut his comedy teeth at these clubs and it clearly paid off.

His routines online, including the Perks of Peeping, The Shits Abroad, The Crafty Cockney, The Demise of Fingering, Tomato Sauce and Chicken Children, have been viewed in the hundred millions, and are a huge hit on TikTok. He keeps us laughing through the tough times – and if ever we needed it, it’s now!

Ludovico Einaudi Confirms 3Arena Dublin Concert Date

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 13:03:32 GMT

Ludovico Einaudi

With Special Guest Abel Selaocoe

3Arena Dublin Concert Date Confirmed

Tickets On Sale This Friday

Ludovico Einaudi with special guest Abel Selaocoe will play 3Arena Dublin on Friday 5th May, 2023.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 24th February at 10am from www.ticketmaster.ie

The most-streamed classical artist of all time, Einaudi returned last year with his first new solo piano album in 20 years. Underwater was born in lockdown, utilising the rare opportunity for song writing in its purest and most intimate form: just Einaudi and his piano. It features 12 newly composed solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing his unmistakable musical style which is renowned around the world.

For Einaudi, Underwater is a deep dive to another place, where he could swim freely without thoughts, without travel and the usual rush of touring. Here time stops, as these songs without words become hypnotic, each touched with an innocent, delicate beauty. Underwater follows an astounding year for Einaudi with the release of soundtracks to Oscar , BAFTA , and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father (which include tracks from his chart-topping 2019 release Seven Days Walking), and the compilation album Cinema , featuring his composition achievements in film and TV.

In 2022 Ludovico Einaudi sold out three nights at Eventim Apollo followed by three nights at the Royal Albert Hall. He and his band now return to play two special concerts in Scotland and Ireland.

“The experience was hypnotic. Whilst his compositions fall within the classical genre, it was like watching a rock star: the audience was visibly moved, and I felt I was witnessing something exceptional.”

(The Spectator)

“Something of a sonic visionary, creating thrilling aural tapestries in collaborative projects of varying scales.”

(★★★★ BBC Classical Music magazine)

Romesh Ranganathan Extra Date Added At 3Olympia Theatre

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 10:25:17 GMT

'...vivacious comedy'

(The Guardian)

Due to demand Romesh Ranganathan has announced an extra at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 02 May 2024 in addition to his show on 03 May. Tickets for the extra date go on sale this Friday 20 January from Ticketmaster.ie

After a sell-out tour in 2022, Romesh is back with a brand-new show examining the human condition. Are people inherently good? Is charity always a positive thing? Is hustling the key to success? Or is all this a load of rubbish we've made up to keep people working hard for no reason?

Join Romesh as he examines all these issues and more, while providing no real answers.

Romesh is best known for The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan, The Ranganation, Rob & Romesh Vs, A League of Their Own, Avoidance, Romantic Getaway, host of The Weakest Link and his own BBC Sounds and Radio 2 show For The Love of Hip Hop.

DEIRDRE O’KANE’S DEMENTED! EXTRA DATE AT 3OLYMPIA THEATRE

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 10:51:27 GMT

D ue to demand Deirdre O’Kane has added an extra date at 3Olympia Theatre Dublin on 29 September as part of her Demented tour.

Tickets for her 3Olympia Theatre show on 21 January 2023 are completely sold out.

Tickets for the extra date are on sale now.

There's a point beyond burnout where all you can do is laugh, and Deirdre O'Kane has well and truly reached it.

The last few years have been something of a whirlwind for Deirdre O'Kane. A co-founder of Comic Relief in Ireland, she spearheaded the hugely popular RTÉ Does Comic Relief which raised over 6 million euros over the Covid-19 pandemic. Not only that but she also recently fronted her own talk shows, Deirdre O'Kane Talks Funny on RTÉ as w ell as a brand-new series, The Deirdre O'Kane Show on Sky Max.

One of Ireland's favourite comedians, Deirdre never strays too far from her live stand-up roots and this year she i s really excited to return the 3Olympia, where she filmed her Sky chat show, with her brand-new show Demented, a box fresh hour of pure escapism and side-splitting laughs.

Speaking about her return to the 3Olympia Theatre Deirdre said; "I’m over excited to be bringing my new show DEMENTED to the 3Olympia, one of my favourite venues in the whole wide world. Not only did I have a great time shooting my show for Sky TV there last year, I also filmed my first special at the 3Olympia when video tapes were still a thing and I was just a young one!”

Tickets for his show at 3Olympia Theatre on Friday 20 January are completely sold-out.

Tickets for the extra date are on sale now.

I am often asked “where do you get your material from?” The truth is really that I try to see the funny in everything.

My mother died in March 2019 and of course it was sad, and grief can be tough sometimes, but I saw a lot of funny in that too.

Since death comes to us all and grief is something most of us will experience, I thought there must be plenty of people who would like that funny to be shared. Also I did a show about my dad being sick back in 2010 and I couldn’t face my mother in the afterlife because I know her first question would be “your father got a show, how come I didn’t get one?”

I think it’s tougher to lose your mum. My dad was best supporting actor. My mother was the actress in a leading role. You are never ready when the star of the show dies. So, this is a show about my mother. It’s a show about motherhood and sacrifice, anxiety and grief, the mistakes you make as a mother and a son and the hard road to forgiveness and finally it’s about loss, grief and the chaos that surrounds it.

Where do I get my material from? Life and death! (Des Bishop)

Van Morrison 3Olympia Theatre Dublin Concert Date Confirmed

Van Morrison

3Olympia Theatre Dublin Concert Date Confirmed

Tickets On Sale This Friday

NEW ALBUM ‘MOVING ON SKIFFLE’ TO BE

RELEASED ON 10 ^TH MARCH 2023 - PRE-ORDER HERE

FEATURING THE NEW SINGLE ‘STREAMLINE TRAIN’

Van Morrison has confirmed a concert date at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 27 February 2023.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 2 ^nd December at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

It should come as no surprise that Van Morrison has made an album inspired by skiffle. Van Morrison’s love of skiffle dates back to his childhood. He would hang out at the famed Belfast record store Atlantic Records, where he’d hear early 20th century folk, blues and jazz from the likes of Lead Belly and Jelly Roll Morton. So when he heard Lonnie Donegan’s take on ‘Rock Island Line’ he intuitively understood the music he was creating. Before long, Van Morrison was playing with a skiffle band in school.

Several decades on, Van Morrison now revisits his love of the genre with his new album ‘Moving On Skiffle’, which will be released on 10 ^th March 2023. He introduces the album by sharing its lead single ‘Streamline Train’.

‘Moving On Skiffle’ finds him taking a homemade style that exploded across Britain in the mid-1950s and infusing it with a level of sophistication and soulfulness that it didn’t always possess the first time around. The 23-track album goes to the heart of the music Van Morrison has inhabited ever since he was six years old, hanging out in the smoky confines of Belfast’s Atlantic Records. It also contains songs that underline, in their messages on the importance of freedom and living on your own terms, his lifetime philosophy.

Van Morrison says, “I was still in school when I performed with a skiffle band – a couple of guitars, washboard, tea-chest bass. I was already familiar with Lead Belly’s recordings so when I heard Lonnie Donegan’s version of ‘Rock Island Line’ I intuitively understood what he was creating, I knew that it was what I wanted to do. It was like an explosion. This record retranslates songs from that era.

Chas McDevitt’s book is where to start when it comes to the history of skiffle. From the very beginning with Lead Belly and the jug bands laying the foundations through to Lonnie Donegan’s influence, and Chas McDevitt’s skiffle group, it’s all in there.”

For the most part, Van Morrison plays these timeless songs straight. Several of them feature his own arrangements, while select others feature his own characteristic lyrical twists. The ever-rebellious Morrison has changed the title of ‘Mama Don’t Allow’, recorded by both the Memphis Jug Band and the Chicago blues man Tampa Red in the late 1920s, to ‘Gov Don’t Allow’, a nod to his fight against the rise of government interference in our daily lives. And the gospel standard ‘This Little Light of Mine’, a key anthem of the Civil Rights movement in ‘60s America, is transformed into the rollicking, upbeat ‘This Loving Light of Mine’.

Opening track ‘Freight Train’ is an immediate highlight, a song which was originally written by Elizabeth Cotten and then recorded by both Peggy Seeger and Chas McDevitt. Van Morrison has given it as a sophisticated jazz arrangement complete with rollicking organ, close harmony vocals and some new words. Elsewhere, ‘Wish I Was An Apple On A True’ is given wonderful warmth, completed by jaunty washboard and treacle-rich vocal harmonies. ‘Gypsy Davey’ remains timeless, while Van Morrison’s powerful vocal and impassioned sax complement the bluesy guitar on ‘Greenback Dollar’. The album closes with ‘Green Rocky Road’, a plaintive folk gem and an ode to the troubadour life that was made famous by Fred Neil and Dave Van Ronk, and featured in the film ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’.

Van Morrison launches the album by releasing its lead single ‘Streamline Train’. Written in the 1930s by the Mississippi bluesman Red Nelson, the song was popularised when The Vipers Skiffle Group took it into the UK singles chart in 1957. This new take gives it a richer and more robust sound, its initial rhythm rollicking like a cross-country train before being illuminated by Van Morrison’s husky, cultured soul. It is further enlivened by gospel-style backing vocals and a rousing Hammond organ solo.

Key contributors on the album include Dave Keary (guitars), Pete Hurley (bass), Colin Griffin (drums) and Sticky Wicket (washboard). Current Brit folk favourite Seth Lakeman also contributes fiddle to five songs.

‘Moving On Skiffle’ will be released on the following formats: double CD; double vinyl; two coloured double vinyl editions, one of which is available via Van Morrison’s webstore and the other via select retailers; a cassette; and digital/streaming.

Stephen Lynch Confirms 3Olympia Theatre Date The Time Machine Tour

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 11:26:09 GMT

Tickets on sale this Friday

S tephen Lynch as confirmed a date at 3Olympia Theatre on 1st February 2023 as part of The Machine Tour. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am.

Whether he’s singing an ode to “queer tattoos,” telling his potential paramour all the things he won’t be doing for her (he ain’t fightin’ no Lion), or lamenting his new vegan lifestyle (“Tofurkey? Tof**k yourself- I want some meat”), Stephen Lynch will always consider himself “a musician trapped in the body of a comedian." His unique blend of musical based comedy has earned him fiercely loyal fans around the world who live to experience his sold-out live shows, six best-selling CDs, his RIAA-certified Gold DVD and his top-rated Comedy Central Specials.

Stephen moved to New York in 1996, with the goal of becoming a performer. While temping during the day, he wrote songs and performed at clubs and underground music venues around Manhattan at night. Stephen quickly developed a devoted fan base and caught the attention of Comedy Central, who invited him to record his 1st cable special in 2000. That special became one of their highest rated shows in the series, almost unheard of for an unknown. His second Comedy Central special debuted in January 2008, with similarly high ratings.

In 2006, Stephen Lynch stepped onto the Broadway stage for the first time in the title role of The Wedding Singer. His performance earned him nominations for some of the highest honors in American Theatre including the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical, as well as the highly coveted Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.

Stephen’s albums “A Little Bit Special,” “Superhero,” “The Craig Machine,” and “3 Balloons” have sold hundreds of thousands of copies around the world. His first DVD, “Live at the El Rey,” was certified Gold by RIAA. Stephen has toured with some of the biggest names in comedy, including Lewis Black and the late Mitch Hedberg. He’s also headlined his own sold out shows throughout the United States, Australia and Europe, where it’s been said he’s “the Beyonce of Scandinavia.”

When not touring the globe for ardent and enthusiastic fans, Stephen divides his time between New York and Michigan with his wife.

David Gray: Skellig Irish Tour Dates Confirmed

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 13:58:14 GMT

David Gray: Skellig

Irish Tour Dates Confirmed

Tickets On Sale This Friday at 10am

David Gray and his Skellig choir present the songs of Skellig live.

David Gray has confirmed four Irish concert dates as part of his Skellig Tour. David will play Cork Opera House on Wednesday 1 ^st March, National Opera House, Wexford on Thursday 2 ^nd March and National Concert Hall, Dublin on Saturday 4 ^th and Sunday 5 ^th March 2023.

Tickets priced from €59.40 including booking fees will go on sale this Friday 21 ^st October at 10.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie and venue box offices. National Opera House, Wexford tickets will be available from www.ticketmaster.ie only.

Skellig released on February 19th, 2021 is Gray's twelfth studio album and embarks on a sparser, communal soundscape with the atmospheric songs centering themselves around six-part vocals with Gray trading his signature gravel for a softer tone.

Skellig takes its name from a formation of precipitous rocky islands off the coast of Co. Kerry, the most westerly point in Ireland. Ravaged by the Atlantic, the seemingly un-inhabitable location of Skellig Michael became an unlikely site of pilgrimage in 600AD for a group of monks, who believed that leading such a merciful existence, they would leave the distraction of the human realm to be ultimately closer to God. Gray asks for no literal translation of the above, nor prescribes any religious allegiance - but the story, told to him by a friend, has haunted his imagination ever since:

“The more I contemplated the idea of a small group of people landing on those rocks and establishing a monastic life there, the more overpowered I became by a dizzying sense of awe. How close to God could you possibly wish to get? Life must have been unbelievably hard for them and trying to fathom the deep spiritual conviction that compelled them to escape the mediaeval world lead me to acknowledge my own deepest longings to be free of all the endless human noise that we now so readily accept as being such an inescapable part of our day to day lives. Dreams of revelation, dreams of a cleansing purity, dreams of escape. Ideas that I think almost any 21st century person shouldn’t find it too hard to relate to!”

The multi-vocal layering that weaves throughout Skellig came to Gray through the unfolding of 2013’s Sounding Out Tour, where he recruited members of his live band – including Caroline Dale, David Kitt and Rob Malone - to experiment on his back-catalogue alongside him. The symbiosis between the singers conjured a “communal spirituality” akin to the essence of Skellig, planting seeds for what would later take shape. Gathering up Dale, Kitt and Malone, and with the addition of Niamh Farrell, Mossy Noalan and de Vries, Gray ventured up to the coastal retreat of Helmsdale in the Scottish Highlands to live out the creation of the record. Welcomed by the kindness and hospitality of Edwyn Collins, his wife and son, the small, intimate studio felt a fitting location for a record eager to celebrate its Celtic affinity.

Join David and the band for this once in a lifetime intimate evening of music.

#NOFILTERS SHOW

DUE TO DEMAND EXTRA DATES AT 3OLYMPIA THEATRE ON 13 and 14 JANUARY 2023

NOW PLAYING FIVE NIGHTS

10, 11, 12, 13, 14 JANUARY

TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY

D ue to demand DirtBirds have added two extra shows at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 January 2023.

They now play five consecutive nights at 3Olympia on 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 January 2023.

Tickets for the extra shows go on sale this Friday 07 October at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

DirtBirds are comedy duo Sinead Culbert and Sue Collins. Born online, the duo has just launched their new podcast and continue to attract huge numbers on their social media channels. For more see https://www.dirtbirds.net

In a world where women are expected to have the patience of mother Teresa, the arse of Jennifer Lopez, the social media profile of Kim Kardashian and the BMI of Elle McPherson, the pressure is relentless.

Dirtbirds’ hilarious new show ‘No Filters’ takes a close look at the barrage of bullshit we are subjected to on a daily basis and reminds us that despite what we’re told, there is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT... (except maybe Jamie Dornan’s arse in Fifty Shades Darker.)

So if you need answers to questions like:

How do I have confidence when I feel lower than a snake’s arse?
How do I learn to love my muffin top?
When the kids wreck my head how do I stop myself from selling them on Done Deal?
…then this is definitely the show for you. (Perfect women not allowed in.)

“Their comedy is based on observing normal-life situations and turning them into very intelligent quips, sketches and stories.” The Independent

“Sinead and Sue identify a gap in comedy that women can relate to, they are passionate mothers themselves and have first- hand experience of life’s challenges.” The Times

Great British Bake-Off's PRUE LEITH’S NEW LIVE SHOW

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 10:27:30 GMT

NOTHING IN MODERATION

COMING TO THE 3OLYMPIA THEATRE DUBLIN

G reat British Bake-Off judge Prue Leith brings her new live show Nothing In Moderation to 3Olympia Dublin on Saturday 11 March 2023. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

Nothing is off the menu in this frank, revealing and very funny all-new show. Prue will share a myriad of fascinating anecdotes about her life: taking audiences through the ups and downs of being a successful restaurateur, novelist, businesswoman and Great British Bake Off judge; feeding the rich and famous, cooking for Royalty and even poisoning her clients - all told for the very first time.

In the second half she will be joined on stage by Clive Tulloh, who will put questions to Prue from the audience, that they’ve always wanted to ask, making the show a unique night to remember.

Prue Leith says: “I’ve never done a stage show before and at 82 I’m probably nuts to try it, but it’s huge fun, makes the audience laugh and lets me rant away about the restaurant trade, publishers, TV and writing, and sing the praises of food, love and life.”

Baking guru Dame Prue Leith is a judge on the world’s biggest baking TV show The Great British Bake Off, quickly becoming a firm favourite with audiences when she joined the show alongside Paul Hollywood in 2017. Before Bake Off, Prue enjoyed great success in her career as a restaurateur, chef, writer and journalist. In the 1960s and 70s, Prue ran her own catering business and then set up Leith's Food and Wine – which trains professional cooks and amateur chefs. Prue has written multiple cookery books and many features about food for publications including The Guardian. She has appeared on many TV shows including Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules.

Russell Kane Live: The Essex Variant! COMING TO THE 3OLYMPIA THEATRE DUBLIN

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:16:56 GMT

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

R ussell Kane's bringing to town his gut-punch funny, searing, award-winning take on the two years we’ve just gone through. Hailed as the The Guardian's Number 1 comedy performance to come out of 2020 (The Guardian are miserable and usually hate everything) - this high-octane show brings nuclear-energy belly laughs and pant-wetting observations which prove laughter really is the best medicine* (*actually, it’s probably hospital medicine).

Russell Kane has two chart-topping, award-bagging podcasts: Man Baggage and BBC Radio 4’s Evil Genius. He is a regular on Channel 4, BBC, and ITV: all the usual shows you see funny people on. He’s also a writer, actor, and presenter. He drinks lots of coffee and is ‘like that in real life’.

He was the first ever comedian to bag the two most prestigious comedy awards on earth in the same year, for the same show: The Dave's Edinburgh Comedy Awards (formerly The Perrier), and The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award, (formerly known as the Barry Award). He’s also a raving bighead that likes listing his achievements.

‘Russell Kane has made his name with verbose, hyperactive comedy – and he shows no sign of slowing down’ (THE I)

‘Fierce, funny and heartfelt... a thrilling reminder of what comedy can do’ (THE GUARDIAN)

‘Storming physical comedy... splendidly manic’ ***** (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Madeleine Peyroux Confirms 3Olympia Theatre Date

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 10:00:17 GMT

On Sale Now From Ticketmaster.ie

American Jazz singer/songwriter Madeleine Peyroux is returning to Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 24 ^th September 2022 with the acclaimed repertoire that has melted the hearts and soothed the souls of audiences all over the world.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, she would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.

Thirty years after her formative busking days, Madeleine Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell-out worldwide tours under her belt.

Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.

Sure to be an intimately uplifting, romantic affair; Madeleine Peyroux is an artist not to be missed.

Deirdre O'Kane Confirms 3Olympia Theatre Date

DEIRDRE O’KANE
BRAND NEW STAND-UP SHOW - DEMENTED
3OLYMPIA THEATRE DATE CONFIRMED

Deirdre O’Kane brings her brand new stand-up show Demented to Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 21 January, 2023.

The last few years have been something of a whirlwind for Deirdre O’Kane. She recently fronted her own talk show - Deirdre O’Kane Talks Funny - in the primetime Saturday night slot on RTÉ One and debuted a brand new standup comedy series, The Deirdre O’Kane Show, with Sky Comedy. Deirdre also appeared as a judge alongside Boy George, Aston Merrygold and Vogue Williams on the new Fox-developed talent show, The Big Deal, for Virgin Media Television.

A co-founder of Comic Relief in Ireland, Deirdre presented the critically acclaimed RTÉ Does Comic Relief which raised more than 6 million euros to help those most in need as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and reached in excess of 1.4 million viewers across Ireland. In recent years she has hosted the prestigious IFTA Film & Drama Awards (for both RTÉ and Virgin Media), and reached the finals of the national broadcaster’s top-rated entertainment show, Dancing with the Stars. Deirdre is also known as the voice of smash-hit Gogglebox (Virgin Media) which returned for a seventh season in late 2021.

One of Ireland’s favourite comedians, Deirdre never strays too far from her live stand-up roots; her new show, Demented, a box-fresh hour of side splitting laughs, is touring Ireland and the UK in 2022 and 2023.

Speaking about her return to the 3Olympia Theatre Deirdre said; "I’m over excited to be bringing my new show DEMENTED to the 3Olympia, one of my favourite venues in the whole wide world. Not only did I have a great time shooting my show for Sky TV there last year, I also filmed my first special at the 3Olympia when video tapes were still a thing and I was just a young one!”

CORTEO, one of the best-loved Cirque du Soleil productions returns with first European performances after 818 days.

Corteo, the most enchanting of Cirque du Soleil’s arena productions has finally returned to Europe after more than a two-year hiatus with the incredible cast reuniting on the stage in Split, Croatia tonight. This is the very first performance following the forced postponement of all Cirque Du Soleil shows in March 2020. The show heralds the unique arena productions return to their much-loved Ireland, with the show set to open in Dublin from 6 – 10 July 2022.

General tickets will be on sale on now via cirquedusoleil.com/corteo .

This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal under the Big Top in April 2005. Since then and including its transformation into an arena show in 2018, the show has amazed audiences of over 10 million people, in 150 cities over the world.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.

The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

In a Cirque du Soleil first, the stage is central in the arena and divides the venue, with each half of the audience facing the other half, giving a unique perspective not only of the show, but also a performer’s eye view of the audience. An atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil a rena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This sets the tone for the poetry of Corteo.

Duncan Fisher, Vice-President of Operations and General Manager, Touring Show Division said:

“We are absolutely thrilled that we are fin ally able to bring Corteo back to Europe and for the first time in Ireland. For two years our performers have been waiting to experience the joy of the audience once again and excitingly with the unique staging of Corteo, for the first time the audience will also get to see and feel the show from the performer’s perspective. Tonight, in Split they get to do this again and It will be an emotional and magical return.”

Bret McKenzie Confirms National Stadium, Dublin Date

Bret McKenzie Confirms National Stadium, Dublin Date

Bret McKenzie’s Songs Without Jokes:

His Full-Length Solo Debut, Available Worldwide August 26th, 2022 From Sub Pop

Shares Official Video for “A Little Tune,”

Announces Headlining International Tour Dates for 2022

On August 26th, 2022, Bret McKenzie will release Songs Without Jokes, his full-length, solo debut, worldwide through Sub Pop. The album, which features lead single “A Little Tune,” and additional highlights “Dave’s Place,” “If You Wanna Go,” and “America Goodbye,” was produced by Mickey Petralia and McKenzie, mixed by Darrell Thorpe, with songs recorded at East West Studios and United Recordings, and mastered by Dave Ives at 101 Mastering in Los Angeles.

Watch the charming, official (and officially charming…) video for a “A Little Tune,” which stars McKenzie, directed by Ezra Simons, and shot at Royal Whanganui Opera House, the last Victorian theatre remaining in New Zealand.

As you can probably glean from that gleaming album title above, McKenzie—whom you know from such modern musical treasures as comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, The Muppets movie reboots and other ace family-film soundtracks, Lord of the Rings fan blogs, guest songs for The Simpsons, cycling around the streets in his native New Zealand, and more— has a new solo record coming out filled with songs that ARE NOT COMEDY SONGS! For members of the press, we thoughtfully provide some irresistible story headlines below, for Bret’s sake and your convenience.

-Kiwi Flies, and Solo!

-Songs From One Bloke

-Three (Con)chords (Minus Two Conchords) and the Truth

-Uh-Oh! Rhymenoceros on the Loose!

-Bretty or Not, Here He Comes

There. Now doesn’t that feel better? Sometimes it helps just to get it out in the open.

So, yeah, Bret’s a ridiculously funny dude, and you might even call him one of the best comedy songwriters in the biz. He’s had smash hits, he’s won major awards, he’s the better-dressed part of his duo...he’s got a good thing going! So, what gives with this whole “songs without jokes” solo stuff, man?

“Post-Conchords, I’d been working on songs for the Muppets films, and during a session I had the thought that it would be fun someday to work on some songs that weren’t for someone else, that don’t have to tell a story or be funny or continue the narrative plot, checking all the boxes for the character in the movie,” McKenzie says. “I thought it’d be fun to do a record like that, something different.”

Adding to his successful track record writing and performing across most genres of pop music, McKenzie is a fan of wry, literate artists like Harry Nilsson, Steely Dan, Randy Newman and Dire Straits. He’s a talented player of multiple instruments and a veteran of several non-comedy bands in New Zealand back in the day, most notably the reggae-based fusion group The Black Seeds. Yet, while songs without jokes are just as much in his blood as those with, he recognizes that most people who know his work will arrive expecting a laugh. Hence, the album’s title (read full bio at Sub Pop ).

McKenzie, along with his seven-piece band, has scheduled international headlining shows for the fall of 2022 in support of Songs Without Jokes, beginning September 2nd in Nelson, New Zealand at Trafalgar Center and currently ending Sunday, November 20th in Atlanta, Georgia at the Eastern.

Seated registration for these shows begins today, and runs through Tuesday, May 17th at 10pm (local). Fan presales begin Wednesday, May 18th at 10am (local; PW: SONGSWITHOUTJOKES), with tickets on sale to the general public on Friday, May 20th at 10am (local). For more information on tickets please visit https://bretmckenzie.co.nz/tour/ .

Songs Without Jokes is available to preorder now from Sub Pop . LP preorders through megamart.subpop.com , select independent retailers in North America , UK and Europe will received the limited Loser Edition on blue vinyl (while supplies last).

DIRT BIRDS

#NOFILTERS SHOW

EXTRA DATES AT 3OLYMPIA THEATRE

10, 11, 12 JANUARY

ON SALE THIS FRIDAY

Due to demand Dirt Birds have added extra shows at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 10, 11 and 12 January 2023. Their #NOFILTERS shows on 15 and 16 April 2022 at 3Olympia Theatre are completely sold out.

Tickets for the extra shows go on sale this Friday 1 April at 9.00am from www.ticketmaster.ie

In a world where women are expected to have the patience of mother Teresa, the arse of Jennifer Lopez, the social media profile of Kim Kardashian and the BMI of Elle McPherson, the pressure is relentless.

Dirtbirds’ hilarious new show ‘No Filters’ takes a close look at the barrage of bullshit we are subjected to on a daily basis and reminds us that despite what we’re told, there is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT... (except maybe Jamie Dornan’s arse in Fifty Shades Darker.)

So if you need answers to questions like:

How do I have confidence when I feel lower than a snake’s arse?
How do I learn to love my muffin top?
When the kids wreck my head how do I stop myself from selling them on Done Deal?
…then this is definitely the show for you. (Perfect women not allowed in.)

“Their comedy is based on observing normal-life situations and turning them into very intelligent quips, sketches and stories.”

The Independent

“Sinead and Sue identify a gap in comedy that women can relate to, they are passionate mothers themselves and have first- hand experience of life’s challenges.”

The play is set on a stormy St. Stephen’s night as people gather to celebrate the 60 ^th birthday party of the The Horse Munley.

MACHINE HEAD frontman, Robb Flynn tells us; “Head Cases and Lionhearts rejoice! It is with great pleasure we announce our triumphant return to your land to crush skulls, pummel circle pits, and deplete your beer supply!! Only this time we will not be alone. That’s right! For the first time in nearly a decade, MACHINE HEAD will be foregoing our usual “Evenings with…” to join forces with our battle-hardened brothers in the all-powerful AMON AMARTH, plus their fellow countrymen, THE HALO EFFECT. This absolute monster of a tour will kick off Autumn 2022 and will be the most devastating night of your metal lives. So get ready to raise your fists, raise your glasses, and bang your heads with us at the heaviest tour of the year! No one can resist the pure power of this epic alliance. We are coming for you!”

AMON AMARTH declare, “Vikings, we are called to raid again! They said it couldn’t be done, but epic measures must be taken in these turbulent times. AMON AMARTH is joining forces with our long-time lion-hearted friends in the almighty MACHINE HEAD to carve a path of destruction across Europe next Autumn. Your heathen souls must witness the full display of production by both bands, for what will be the most monumental metal event of the year. Joining the plunder will be Sweden’s THE HALO EFFECT who absolutely embody the spirit of the legendary Gothenburg sound. Keep an eye out for more news from us, as it’s almost time to grab your oars and row to victory. Stay safe, stay strong and raise your horns!”

Similarly thrilled are THE HALO EFFECT, who inform us, “We are incredibly excited to announce that we will present this new band of ours on stages throughout Europe supporting the amazing MACHINE HEAD and AMON AMARTH next fall. This band started with an idea between old friends about doing something cool together, to somehow recapture the creativity and energy we felt growing up with metal in Gothenburg.

RICHARD HAWLEY CONFIRMS 3OLYMPIA CONCERT DATE

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 07:58:26 GMT

RICHARD HAWLEY

CONFIRMS 3OLYMPIA CONCERT DATE

R ichard Hawley has confirmed a concert date at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Sunday 8 ^th May 2022.

Tickets from €39.35 including booking fees go on sale Friday 8 ^th October at 9.00am from Ticketmaster.

2019 was a landmark year for songwriter Richard Hawley. His ninth studio album, Further achieved his joint highest chart entry at number 3. He has also co-created a musical based on a collection of his songs which recently won the UK Theatre Awards ‘Best Musical’ following a run at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre which was seen by over 26,000 people. Then, there’s also the small matter of the man celebrating his twentieth anniversary as a solo artist, something that he views with his customary sense of bluff realism.

“I suppose twenty years is quite a long time in this business, but to be honest, even after all this time, I’m still a searcher. I’m still genuinely searching for things, in music and in life. I can’t tell you exactly what I’m looking for, or where I’m actually going but when I get there, I’ll probably send you a text,” he says, wryly.

In the two decades that have elapsed since Hawley jettisoned band life, first with The Longpigs and then as Pulp’s guitarist, the songwriter has forged one of the most singular and diverse careers in modern music.

As well as releasing a string of solo albums that have managed the rare feat of being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, Hawley has worked with a host of impressive collaborators – such as Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, Texas and Paul Weller, alongside personal heroes that include U.S guitarist Duane Eddy (his 2011 album, Road Trip, was co-produced by Richard), Shirley Bassey (for whom he wrote the smouldering ballad, After The Rain, in 2009), Nancy Sinatra, Lisa Marie Presley and British folk royalty Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson (he was an integral part of 2013’s Bright Phoebus Revisited tour). There are also bona fide pop stars such as Robbie Williams, All Saints and Texas, all of whom Hawley has played with in differing capacities down the years. Also, his song Tonight The Streets Are Ours was featured in The Simpsons and Exit Through The Gift Shop: A Banksy Film.

His ability to cut across styles, time and, in some instances, place, is down to Hawley’s deep and intuitive understanding of music itself, his grounding stemming back to his childhood when his father, a musician himself, introduced Richard to country, blues and rock’n’roll.

While Hawley credits artists as diverse as Echo And The Bunnymen, The Stooges, David Bowie and The Jam as formative influences, he has also travelled back to the very roots of sound to create his own vision of what music should be.

Talk to him about his blues heroes, and he is likely to list Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup (“the master!”) and Freddie King as personal favourites. At heart, though, Hawley remains in love with rock’n’roll in its purest form and he sports the quiff to prove it. “People often ask me why I still have a quiff. I always tell them it’s because I still can,” he deadpans.

Set in an Irish nursing home in 2016, ‘3 Hail Mary’s’ is a must-see rip-roaring comedy that will have you in tears of laughter.

By Tommy Marren, writer of the highly-acclaimed comedies ‘It’s The Real McCoy’ and ‘Nobody’s Talking To Me’, the play centres around three characters – namely Mary O’Toole, Mary O’Neill and Mary O’Brien.

The three Mar y’s have lived in this nursing home for over ten years and have become great friends. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they are being moved to three separate nursing homes and the play is set around their last few hours together.

Mary O’Toole is a very religious character who has great devotion to Our Lady of Knock. Mary O’Neill is a Londoner who met and subsequently married a Kerry man and moved to Ireland. Mary O’Brien is a retired nurse who has travelled to almost every corner of the world!

With dozens of hilarious one-liners the play moves with pace throughout as the three Mary’s laugh, cry, argue, sing, dance and recount their life experiences. From statues to fishing rods, a would-be music composer, an enthusiastic and very posh ‘volunteer’ and a very frustrated nursing home owner this play has everything!

You can expect a number of twists throughout and the play finishes with all three Mary’s performing an original song written by Tommy Marren entitled ‘I’m Really Still The Same’ which is written from the perspective of a person who has dementia asking loved ones to treat them the same as they always did.

Without exception the productions has received standing ovations from audiences who are captivated by the characters and the story.

With dementia so prevalent in Ireland this is a play that is as much thought provoking as it is funny and the script has been meticulously crafted to ensure that it is sensitive and compassionate to the subject of memory loss.

‘3 Hail Mary’s’ really is a play that entertains and educates…

Facebook comments from audiences who have seen the play throughout the country:

“Fantastic show really enjoyed. So professional and a great storyline.”

“A brilliant script. A fairly sensitive subject dealt with really well. Loved everything about this show and fell in love with the 3 Mary’s right from the start.”

“This is just brilliant. A great script and the singing really added to the nursing home atmosphere. The song at the very end was class!”

“This is the first play I ever laughed and cried at on the same night. So many emotions and just so well put together. The song at the end just summed it all up. A special night.”

“As someone who works in a nursing home I have to say this crowd really nailed it! It was just brilliant.”

“What a song at the end of the show. It says it all. The best night I had in years.”

“It takes something special to be able to write a comedy centred on the subject of dementia but fair play to this script. It was just an extraordinary piece of writing and beautiful characterisations from the 3 Marys in particular. Have to see this one again.”

“Great night. Never laughed and cried so much in two hours. I got lost in the story and the song at the end was just incredible. “
