The Nialler9 weekly gig guide
Photo by Kieran Frost.
A list of personally recommended events taking place over the next seven days in Dublin. All times are 7.30pm/8pm unless stated. Feel free to leave your picks in the comments.
It was hard to pick a top 3 this week as there are plenty of shows on offer, not including 3 sold out nights of The National, 2 sold out nights of Interpol and 2 big Arcade Fire shows (tickets left for Monday). Janelle Monae, Ellie Goulding, Skatalites, Laetitia Sadier all visit and there are hometown shows from The Cast of Cheers, The Rednecks and a huge lineup for Young Hearts Run Free’s gig in Smithfield on Saturday…
I’ve also got two pairs of tickets for the Psychonavigation Records 10 year party with Roger Doyle, Tiny Magnetic Pets, Common Tongue in the National Concert Hall this Friday. Email [email protected] to win a pair.
