Following on from the recent 37d03d artists announcement of who will be involved in the curated music festival and residency this year, SFSH has announced its first round of ticketed shows.
Here’s the poster overview:

The festival will commence on Thursday 11th September with ‘Remembering Talos’ – a deeply personal opening night tribute to the late Eoin French, a beloved artist and festival friend—staged at Cork Opera House created with many of Eoin’s friends and collaborators.
The night will continue with the 37d03d Opening Ritual at Elizabeth Fort, launching a city-wide experience filled with surprise performances, intimate encounters, and large-scale productions.
There will be special album launches – including one from Junior Brother and Daithí– as well as bold collaborations between artists.
Among the newly added names is Ben Howard, known for his soul-stirring songwriting, who joins forces with the mesmerising Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) for a double bill; Rhiannon Giddens, a Grammy-winning force in folk and roots music, brings her powerful voice and banjo mastery to the stage; while Jon Hopkins, celebrated for his immersive electronic compositions, teams up with S. Carey for a special double piano show. Also not to be missed is an acoustic performance from Villagers, the ever-enigmatic Lisa Hannigan, the master of ‘folktronica’ Beth Orton, Amanda Bergman, Black Country New Road, Crash Ensemble, Sam Amidon + many more. The festival will culminate with a special finale hosted by Efterklang with special guests..
