A list of recommended events taking place over the next seven days in Dublin and beyond.
For those not going to Glasto (me included), the gig I urge you to go to in Dublin this week is the fantastic Middle East who play Sugar Club on Saturday night – Still need proof?. Lots of big gigs on this week (Stevie Wonder, Mike Love’s Beach Boys, Blondie, Green Day) as well as Sea Sessions in Donegal this weekend.
