Seeing as Elton has now rescheduled his Dublin gigs, might be useful to start a 2023 thread as others might start popping up.
The Commitments - 7th - 19th February (Olympia Theatre)
Elton John - 28th/29th March (3Arena)
Not available over here. But i’d be going to both of these if i could, 2 full albums played in full:
Oof! The support!
Their Homecoming gigs are generally solid, but they've outdone themselves here.
Saw that earlier. Some line up.
Susan O'Neill, Yankee and Jack O'Rourke playing individual gigs from 15th to 17th September on Spike Island in Cork. Tickets on sale on Friday at 10am. Not sure if tickets include ferry ticket. Something different so could be cool. https://twitter.com/TheGoodRoomCork/status/1679068972845604864?t=0LeFopPQH2K7QUgEeQztFw&s=19

Would love to catch them. I think I heard on Arena on Rte radio 1 during the week that they will be doing more gigs in Autumn alright
His latest stuff is fairly different, some of the songs more country sounding. Still good though and should be a great gig

The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival has revealed its first tranche of acts for the 2023 event. Among them are a mix of modern jazz stars and older acts, with a number of figures who hit the charts around the 1990s and Noughties due to visit Leeside over the weekend of October 26-30.
Macy Gray, Corinne Bailey Rae and Morcheeba are among the crossover acts on the bill, while jazz purists have the likes of Matthew Halsall and Kurt Elling to look forward to.
Cork City Hall also returns as a venue, with non-jazz acts such as DJ Jenny Greene, and former Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley performing.
Macy Gray is still a thing
Getting late 90s/early 2000s vibes
I think Macy has been doing mostly reality tv but now is on a music comeback
She's also doing the National Stadium
Caught her at Galway Arts Fest 2019 with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, well worth seeing, still very quirky and a great cover of Creep.
return ferry is included:

Think it's this coming Sunday? That's a very big and broad line up of acts for free gigs in fairness
The House of Love playing the Academy on Sun 3 Dec. Without Bickers these days but it’s still a must see for me.
Yes, apologies, Sunday is correct !
Just back in the hotel after the Saw Doctors in Galway. What a brilliant night!
Absolutely amazing!
Just announced:
Already Onsale here:

Small print appears kinda support is a set of New Order greatest hits followed by main set of the Joy Division albums 'Closer' and 'Unknown Pleasures' in full.
Sounds like the same format as the Limerick and Dublin gigs last year. Not exactly a New Order greatest hit set to start with but 5 to 7 songs to open with, some very well known, others not so much. It can be a completely different list of New Order songs from one night to the next.
Then the two JD albums in order followed by an encore of 3 or 4 non-album tracks, including Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart.
Well worth seeing.
