Prima Facie sold out in about four minutes. I know it was the Gaiety but I was surprised with no queue or waiting room.
Pretty much guaranteed for Glastonbury 2027.
On sale tomorrow (Fri) 10am
SFA for Collins barracks
Baxter Drury is incredible live. One of the gigs of 2025 for me
yeah he was excellent at All Together Now
Really Good Time were excellent at In The Meadows too, great lineup there
Bit bizarre to work a rant about Dublin property prices into a thread about gigs.
They supported Warmduscher in Whelan's too, fantastic stuff.
Do you work for an airline? When you're not on your soapbox berating people for 'not being real fans' every post references the wonders of taking a flight (three times in this post!). It's incessant.
People can be annoyed that an artist isn't touring their country without being told (for the millionth time) that Ireland is a small market and that "hey did you hear about airplanes".
One I quite Fancy and great Venue if Weather holds up

Does anyone have any insight on how the cities would've been selected for Harry Style's residency? I mean, the economic benefits to a city that gets 6 nights of a Harry Styles stadium residency must be considerable - so why Amsterdam and not Rome or Paris or, sure, Dublin or [insert your favourite city]? Does Harry Styles really like canals or do cities 'bid' to host the artist for a couple of weeks? It seems like this sort of thing is only going to happen more in the future and I'm just curious about how cities get chosen. Presumabley they have to be appropritately accommodating to the artist to reap the financial benefits of 330,000 people booking flights to their city. What seems clear is that, in cases like this, the decision is taken to pass the costs of travel on to the fans and away from the artist themselves, which must be nice for them.
Amsterdam was likely selected due to stadium availability for most of May.
London's selection is obvious.
I personally selected the venues for Harry. it’s down to venue availability,demand,capacity, logistics, artist preference, transport infrastructures etc.
if I was picking a mainland Europe city for my stafium residency Amsterdam would be top of the list. Incredible transport options from across Europe with a major airport, excellent railway access, sufficient hotel accommodation, policing expertise on dealing with large crowds ( from football tournaments etc.
easy to travel to for people in Benelux countries, Germany and France. Cities police force will be have discussions with the promoter in the coming year to discuss traffic management plan and venue security. Same process for shows in the Aviva or croke park. Police escort to and from the venue/airport will be heightened of red carpet treatment for Harry styles.
for the artist there is considerable monetary benefit, they don’t have to have a second stage built to go ahead to next city, don’t need the additional crew needed for a second stage or trucks/buses etc that go with it. They can base their whole crew in the city for a few weeks, health and work life balance aspects for artist and crew.
Also logistically booking a European summer stadium tour is a 2 or 3 year in advance process and 2026 availability might not of been there. there is a very short window for stadium shows in Europe and multiple bands trying to tour in same window.
fab news, seen a bunch of gigs in there over the years, including Morrissey, Mercury Rev, and a jazz chop up featuring Flea & Damon Albarn.
A friend saw the Smiths play there in mid 80’s, apparently they played there twice
Lovely. Think there's enough space between gigs to tempt a double-dip here, and sure they may go back on hiatus after.
I’m sure a few people will be going to both especially given how long last hiatus was
I'm stalking them around the UK as well as the 2 Irish gigs. Absolutely love them and as said, no idea when they'll be back together again after this summer. Until then Gruff Rhys tonight in Kilkenny...
forbidden fruit announcing its line up next week
Fun fact and here’s why 30 dates for Madison Square Garden, the only USA venue he’ll be at for this tour…
Harry Styles’s manager, Jeffrey Azoff, is the son of Irving Azoff, who serves as Chairman and CEO of Azoff MSG Entertainment…that company owns Madison Square Garden Company’s 50% stake in the Azoff MSG Entertainment joint venture so basically more money for their company by holding it in Madison Square Garden.
A few tickets released for the previously sold out 'A Lazarus Soul' gig at St Patrick's Cathedral tomorrow night.
a lazarus soul
A great evening promised, turn over the Dubs in Croker, followed by a cultured night in Church 😎
it’s the only option for New York, that’s why it’s bring used. Added bonus that his manager family are co owners
any rumours? big fan of FF hope theres some good enough names to get me to at least one of the days
He is a pure rogue too Azoff.
He took some immunity deal to testify against his business partner Tim Leiweke in the US, but Trump pardoned Leiweke a few months back.
Utterly corrupt the US ticket echo system.
little simz
Shee
Kettama ( Ava festival teasing him and as AVA and forbidden share acts I’d be surprised if he ain’t headlining FF)
We are Scientists playing Cork, Dublin amd Belfast in April
Yea was thinking the same, then Irish date(s) on that run
The barclays Centre is the better venue in New York
Saw this tonight just coming up Westland Row around Lincoln Place, an absolutely MASSIVE poster about this , looks brilliant and good news 👍
Also delighted with SFA in Collins Barracks as missed tickets for their other gig 🤗
Aren't we lucky 2026 shaping up to be a great year 👍
Wolf Alice making a ‘big announcement’ tomorrow, wonder it they’ll tour this summer ?
