Leftfield for Dublin show at National Stadium

Leftfield are playing at the National Stadium this summer.

Neil Barnes and Adam Wren are back to Dublin this summer, presenting a Leftfield live show at National Stadium on July 18th.

It’ll be the band’s first Irish show since their Beyond The Pale set in 2023, and first Dublin show in six years.

My experience of seeing Leftfield live in the early 2000s is still among my favourite live gigs of all-time. There’s a live rip on Youtube from Homelands 2000 that is among the best live festival sets from an electronic act you will hear anywhere, building city-sized rhythms out of their classic early albums Leftism (1995) Rhythm & Stealth (1999).

Of course, Leftfield has had lineup changes and a long time away since then. Neil Barnes (with Adam Wren replacing Paul Daley these days) returned to releasing albums after 16 years with 2015’s Alternative Light Source and 2022’s This Is What We Do.
