About Wider Than Pictures
Wider Than Pictures is fast becoming a staple of summer in Dublin. Taking place in one of the most easily accessible and visually stunning locations in the city, The National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, the venue’s historical courtyard provides unparalleled sound for the diverse roster of world-class live acts curated by promoters Singular Artists. In a review of 2023’s Wider Than Pictures closing concert by Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, The Irish Times observed, “The sound is perfectly contained within the courtyard of Collins Barracks”. Now in its third year, Wider Than Pictures has played host to headliners such as First Aid Kit, YUNGBLUD, The Vamps, Mick Flannery, Future Islands, Franz Ferdinand, Alt J, Thin Lizzy Orchestrated, Simply Red and Fleet Foxes. Singular Artists prides itself in championing local talent, and this support is never more evident than in the incredible Wider Than Pictures support line-ups, with the likes of Pillow Queens, Susan O’Neill, Really Good Time, Sprints and more having played previous iterations of the series.
