Irish National Opera - COSÌ FAN TUTTE
2023-05-29 20:00
Fiordiligi and Dorabella, two sisters. Guglielmo and Ferrando, their lovers. And the cynical Don Alfonso, who sets up a test of the sisters’ faithfulness while staking money with the men about their fickleness. There’s sharp comedy and heartfelt music in the swings of the partner-changing flings that follow, as everyone is left humbled and wiser.

This concert performance of Mozart’s tale of sexual manipulation comes with one of his richest and most sublime scores conducted by Peter Whelan, Olivier Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in Opera, 2022 and features the Irish National Opera orchestra and chorus.

John Bishop is one the UK’s biggest names in comedy. Within three years of his first ever gig, John was playing sold-out arena audiences across the country, and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.
Milton Jones is regularly on Mock the Week (BBC2), has appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Live at the Apollo (BBC1) and he has headlined Dave’s One Night Stand (DAVE).
What an amazing year it’s been for new comedy superstar Emma Doran. She’s just completed her first Irish tour, a total sell out nationwide including 3 nights in Vicar St and her first solo London shows as well as having a chart topping podcast “And Another Thing”
Elliot Steel, despite being in his twenties, is a veteran of the British comedy circuit. Starting at sixteen, he has wowed audiences and impressed critics. Having multiple viral clips, Steel is becoming a voice for those in their mid-twenties with his dark but intelligent style.
There is no better MC in Ireland than Karl Spain, and often no better night of comedy than Galway Comedy Festival’s Late Night KARLnival! The show, where comedians perform their darker, edgier material – and you never know who will turn up on the night – in front of Galway’s hardest core comedy fans is both institution and unmissable event.

2023-10-29 20:00
John Bishop is one the UK’s biggest names in comedy. Within three years of his first ever gig, John was playing sold-out arena audiences across the country, and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.

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 godfather of Irish alternative comedy, Barry Murphy has been making Ireland laugh for more than 30 years, whether through his solo stand-up; his Gunther character who views the Irish through a severely arched eyebrow; or as a member of the brilliant sports satire trio, Apres Match.

Led by mercurial and brilliant Scottish guitarist/vocalist Mike Scott, the 2020 version of the band features the established line-up of Memphis keyboard great “Brother” Paul Brown, ace British drummer Ralph Salmins and funky Irish bassman Aongus Ralston.

Glen Hansard - Live In Concert
2023-12-15 20:00

The Mary Wallopers
2023-12-20 19:00
“They’re revitalising Irish trad for a new generation with rowdy reinterpretations of hand-me-down odes to sex, devilry and drink (mainly drink). Like the Dubliners, the Pogues and Jinx Lennon before them, they elevate the displaced and the downtrodden, sticking two fingers up to the establishment and, in doing so, yanking a thread that unites all rebel music from folk to punk and rap” The Guardian
Irish Rock ’n’ Roll is due for release on October 6th and follows last year’s hugely acclaimed self-titled debut (“these youngsters are all about presenting vibrancy, saltiness and edge via roots music from a bygone age, at a moment when such qualities are all but absent form contemporary pop” Mojo).

Bell X1
2023-12-21 19:00
After a summer run including sold-out shows in the Marquee, Cork; King John’s Castle, Limerick; Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens, Galway Arts Festival, and a special performance at Áras an Uachtarain for President Michael D Higgins and invited guests, Bell X1 are readying themselves to get back indoors this winter.
The band recently released a new single & video “The Lobster” – the third single from their 8th studio album, Merciful Hour, which came out in May. The ten-track album was recorded in Dublin with producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy, and features the band collaborating with Dowry Strings.

Lankum
2023-12-22 19:00
Their new album, False Lankum follows their 2019 breakthrough album The Livelong Day, which paved the way for critical and commercial success, earning them that year’s RTE Choice Music Prize (the Irish equivalent of the Album of the Year Grammy) and the #8 spot on NPR Music’s Best Albums of the Year list. Drawing on traditional folk songs, Lankum put their own dark, distinctive mark onto each, leaning into heavy drones and sonic distortion that imparts new intensity and beauty into each track. This record sees the band cement their breakout from the folk genre, creating bold, contemporary music that may be fashioned from traditional elements but is firmly new, sitting comfortably alongside Rough Trade labelmates like black midi and Gilla Band. False Lankum also features two original tracks, ‘Netta Perseus’ and ‘The Turn’, both penned by the group’s Daragh Lynch.
