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)
By the way, if you see your mom this weekend
Be sure and tell her....
BACON!!
Happened to be be in Galway that weekend, and saw the legendary Phil in the Roisin Dubh. Absolutely brilliant DJ set from a pure legend, however I couldn't get over how small the crowd was. Either Galway does not like it's dance music, or his gigs in Galway & Dublin were very poorly advertised.
the Friends experience coming to Dublin
Far From Saints (Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics and Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of the American band The Wind and The Wave) playing Vicar Street on November 12th.
Never thought I'd see the day when an IRA banner has Belfast as part of the UK
Wait till some of the Northern politicians find out about the Ira gig in Belfast.....
Bad Manners are doing a mini-tour at the end of November. Tickets went on sale this morning.
Ah. Payback. I hear you, Seath. I hear you.
Yep, it’s a great option @Stillill42 with an excellent undercard but after EP and multiple Summer gigs I’ve got a helluva lot of childcare to catch up on. Lovely setting too.
Chalk playing Upstairs @ Whelans, Wednesday 13th December.
Speaking of Galway, this is a nice little line up.
Single day ticket €36, 2 day €60 seems great value.
Galway Bay Brewery bar, lots of nice grub, return busses from Galway cathedral, back to a late night music trail....sounds fantastic. If I was in Galway, I'd be all over that.
NewDad hometown gig in Dec, album in Jan, Dublin in Feb.
The Highs Kings are playing a Nationwide Irish tour from 1 December 2023 to 24 February 2024.
Tickets are on sale Friday at 10am
I see that they finished Cork gig on Via Chicago and Spiders (kidsmoke). What a one-two!
Setlist looked great last night. I saw them last week, similar ish setlist but a few extras last night. Via Chicago!
Olympia is a bit meh as a venue.
Well fair enough. I envy any man woman or child that got to go to both. A band at the top of their game.
I'm just reporting a show I was at. I was at the Olympia. It was killer. I was at the Opera House. I felt it was even better. That's just a credit to the band. Nothing to do with one-upmanship or competition.
Feck off Delbert. It's not a competition!
Wilco in Cork was even better than Dublin. Seriously. Phenomenal stuff.
Just copped this. This will be great, deadly album plus Personal Trainer who did 2 electric sets at EOTR.
Yeah, 2 hours I'd say with a 4 song encore. Agreed on Nels. Unbelievable.
How long was the Wilco set ?
Thinking of going tonight but Im not really familiar with their stuff it seems a bit low energy ?
Yep, fantastic gig again, great crowd.
got tickets thankfully
Late and welcome addition to his tour
Cmat announced a 4th date in the Olympia
Heavy Lungs are in the Grand Social, Sunday 8th October for a bargain €11.70 all in: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/heavy-lungs-tickets-709468438197
For the uninitiated, their singer Danny Nedelko is the guy Idles are singing about.
Friday night if anyone is interested.
Moundabout (Paddy from Gnod & Phil Masterson of Los Langeros) play Plugd Records Cork and Anseo Dublin on September 23/24th.
I'd be curious to know if the folk/trad heads around here would enjoy them. I wasn't keen on the first album but i do like the second. Unfortunately both gigs clash with Bar Italia.

This gig has now sold out. There's a waiting list via Pavilion site though so there might be returns closer to the time.
Thanks for this, managed to bag a couple
