In a nice coup for the Galway International Arts Festival and the Róisín Dubh, Jon Hopkins is to play the Heineken Big Top at the festival next year on Saturday July 25th.
A Hopkins live show has been a staple of festivals recently but it’ll be his first jaunt west.
Tickets are on sale Friday at 9am priced at €39.50 plus any applicable fees.
Hopkins played a DJ set at Sounds From A Safe Harbour in Cork in September and is bringing his more ambient set to Dublin early next year.
