2025 Irish Gigs (Confirmed & Rumoured Events)

A good idea, but i am already doing E.P. This year, a weekend in London, Or maybe somewhere in Germany, Italy, France, Spain would be nice in summertime, make a mini holiday out of it. He has presales for all his gigs for NY Archives members, entry level annual membership is $24.99

Previously mentioned but Kawala splitting up, just saw more information:

One of the many reasons we've had to hang up our boots as a band is the rising cost of touring making it impossible to do shows, unfortunately if we continued with the European run we would've lost so much money.

Not good when an artist with nearly 300k monthly listeners on Spotify, and a FIFA soundtrack can't continue primarily due to costs. Last run of gigs is only UK and Ire in Feb. Well worth giving a listenand very good live.

and hes back on Spotify !!

Didn't the Kilkenny show in 2019 get live streamed ?

It was enjoyable but not a fan of those 'long extended guitar solos'.

usually between 5-7 of the nominees perform. Usually two songs each. So you might get about 10 to 12 songs.
Really just a booze up for bands/families/ industry people and few devoted gig goers

I see Onyx are playing the same night just up the road in the grand social… could we see Judgement Night

Agree with Fanirish above but definitely worth a look at if there's a few there you'd enjoy, a good mix/variety of Irish music at it. Went to it in 2018 (for the 2017 prize announcment) and most of the nominees performed, even the bigger names at the time Lankum, James Vincent McMorrow, Fionn Regan. One or two songs each, and then there might be a few extra performances, special guests with song of the year etc. I reckon if Kneecap are to win it and they're around it would be the thing they'd perform at, pretty sure Fontaines are UK based now so probably less likely.

Alex turner going solo as Arctic monkeys are done and dusted. Maybe he will do Irish shows late 2025 or 2026

Done and dusted ?

I heard that rumour multiple times over the years.

Pity they didn't go out on a high as I wasn't a fan at all of their last few albums. All they did before was fantastic

touring company being dissolved is the one they set up and have been using since 2009. This is not a company set up for a specific tour, it’s been the one for 15 years. Not dissolving it for a laugh.
megafans not knowing on Reddit isn’t exactly shocking.
though media outlets/newspapers after Dublin show did run the gossip that it was the final show ever.
Heard it from people on the tour that Dublin was swan song.

Seen KGLW putting up some shows in Europe for 2025. I don't think there's been a solo gig here since the Olympia years back, strange they haven't done more gigs here.

Volbeat teasing something

The 3Arena show a few years ago didn't sell well. They were great in the Olympia in 2019, so maybe a return there

yes one band who don’t tour europe that much is justification alone for a new venue to be built
