The Nialler9 weekly Dublin gig guide
Obviously this week’s gig guide has been decimated by volcanic ash cancellations so no LCD Soundsystem, no Whale Watching Tour, no Grant Lee Philips etc so maybe expect a few more cancellations. In the meantime, Autechre is definitely going ahead (they also booked a ferry just in case) as is Efterklang and the all-day garage-rock, punk, no-wave Psychofest with likelys from Dan Le Sac v Scroobius Pip, Dropkick Murphys, IMRO showcase tour, Blood Red Shoes and Duke Dumont.
