SUMMARY:Stories From Dubliners
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, Volta’s critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud has been expanded to include adaptations of three stories from Joyce’s debut work — Two Gallants\, A Little Cloud\, and Counterparts — as part of the Bloomsday Festival. \nThese three short stories are vivid “slices of life” from early 20th century Dublin. Stunningly accompanied by live music\, they portray a society in paralysis in immaculately detailed scenes: in Two Gallants\, a couple of ne’er-do-wells mooch around Dublin on the make. A Little Cloud sees a sensitive soul thrown by a meeting with an old college friend back from London\, while Counterparts takes us on a doomed pub crawl with an ungainly\, bad-tempered law clerk. \nAt once funny and tragic\, Joyce’s tales are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary\, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars. \n‘Exquisite… heart-rendingly perfect’ – Emer O’Kelly\, Sunday Independent \n‘Superbly articulated performances…’ – Chris O’Rourke\, The Arts Review \n‘A perfect hour’s entertainment…’ – Katy Hayes\, Irish Independent \nWRITTEN BY James Joyce\nADAPTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nDIRECTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nLIGHTING DESIGN BY Colm Maher\nCOSTUME DESIGN BY Gillian Roberts\nSOUND DESIGN BY Feilimidh Nunan and Conor Shiel \nCAST Liam Hourican & Jim Roche \nTICKETS €21 | €19 (concession)\nRUNNING TIME 1 hr 10 mins no interval\nThe Bloomsday Festival takes place on 11 – 16 June 2026. It is organised by The James Joyce Centre in partnership with Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport. \nABOUT THE COMPANY\nThe Volta Theatre Company is a new company with a mission to breathe new life into the classics.

The company was founded in 2023 by Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\, long-time collaborators in sketch comedy for Channel 4\, RTE and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. \nShakespeare productions include Hamlet (2024) and Macbeth (2025) at the NOH and Smock Alley. Joyce adaptations include Counterparts & A Little Cloud at the James Joyce Centre\, Bewleys Café Theatre\, the Draoicht and the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith\, Telemachus at the James Joyce Tower (Bloomsday Festival 2024/2025) and Cyclops at the Lexicon Studio.

SUMMARY:Mount Eerie
DESCRIPTION:bio: Phil Elverum\, b. 1978 \nI grew up five miles into the woods outside the island town of Anacortes\, Washington during the 80’s and 90’s in a post-hippie echo that normalized saying “hello” out loud to the nearby mountains\, waters and animals. As a teenager\, entering the world of music and creation through the door that punk tore open\, I finally found my people in Olympia. I lived there for 5 years and released records as the Microphones with the K label. Now I make Mount Eerie records\, since 2003\, and release them myself on a fake record label\, stubbornly still DIY to the bone. I have a devotion to this life of creativity and subversion that has never wavered. These songs and works dig down into the bedrock of this place and try to bring forth a fresh exhale\, a big picture glimpse\, small beneath the sky\, clear water trickling.

SUMMARY:SHADY NASTY
DESCRIPTION:Shady Nasty subvert expectations. In a world bound by modded cars\, immigrant heritage and digital obsessions\, Kevin Stathis\, Haydn Green and Luca Watson craft a left-field breed of punk that pushes their formal training in jazz and classical music to its most uncustomary extremes. \nInfluences like King Krule\, Low Life and Show Me The Body surface not as reference points\, but as undercurrents — absorbed and reconfigured into something idiosyncratic and distinctly their own. \nEarly EPs Bad Posture and CLUBSMOKE earned praise from The Guardian\, NME\, Kerrang!\, The Line of Best Fit\, DIY\, Stereogum and VICE\, each showcasing immersive world-building that has shaped a consistent voice over the past seven years. \nMarked by a distinctive harbour-city twang\, TREK — their long-awaited debut album — grapples with the less-than-glamorous hard graft of staying afloat while remaining creatively uncompromised in Sydney. Produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets\, the record ventures into more textured\, exploratory territory than ever before. Four months in\, it’s resonated with longtime fans and newcomers alike\, earning acclaim from FBi Radio (Album of the Week)\, RTR FM (Feature Album)\, triple j Unearthed (Feature Artist)\, NME Magazine\, Ones to Watch and more. \nRecently\, the group has shared stages with Skeleten\, Shame\, High Vis\, Ho99o9\, Sleaford Mods\, Gustaf\, Amyl and The Sniffers\, among others. Through their own headline shows\, they’ve cultivated a cult following across Sydney’s underground — including a sold-out run of album shows earlier this April. No matter the venue\, no matter the bill\, devout adherents clamber to fuel a heaving mosh.

SUMMARY:Conor Kinsella
DESCRIPTION:Conor Kinsella is a genre-bending punk artist and producer from Dublin. Created in 2025\, the project looks to the idea of genre itself as a tool for writing new music which pokes through the gaps which exist between styles. Exploring primarily political and self-deprecating themes which seek to unpack the chaotic and disturbing nature of life in the present age\, the live set combines punk beats\, semi-improvised ambient jams\, jazz-influenced arrangements and tightly sequenced dance rhythms\, at times equally confusing and familiar. Conor Kinsella has supported the likes of folk-punk legends Crywank at their sold-out headline show in Dublin in 2026. On June 19th\, he debuts the newest iteration of his live set\, complete with a six-piece band encompassing vocals\, saxophone\, trumpet\, viola\, keys\, guitar\, bass and drums.

SUMMARY:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:Guides from the James Joyce Centre take you through Dublin\, exploring the history of the city and the various locations described by Ireland’s greatest writer\, James Joyce.\n\nThough Joyce lived most of his life outside of Ireland\, Dublin would provide the backdrop for virtually all of his work.

SUMMARY:Heaney’s Mythology  | Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from the myths of ancient Greece and Rome\, and Ireland’s own heroic cycles\, Heaney found a rich tapestry of story and memory—a way to understand who we are and where we come from. Never settling for a simple retelling of these inherited tales instead\, Heaney breathed new life into them\, weaving the intimate world of Mossbawn with the vast\, resonant landscapes of legend. \nFrom the poet’s early encounters with local folklore to his later meditations on classical figures such as Antaeus and Hercules\, the tour invites you to follow Heaney’s journey as he transformed the myths he inherited into something wholly his own.

SUMMARY:Public Tour: Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Join Underthings – Improv\, an improv and sketch duo\, for a tour of the Gallery with a twist! \nUnderthings\, like all comedians\, are subconsciously determined to make themselves the focus of everything. But\, for this tour\, they will try their best to focus on the beautiful works of art\, and not on their own petty existences. Spoiler: they will fail! After all\, artists can be petty too. They will also attempt to deal with some art-history conundrums: Who’s the best prophet? Who has feuds? What’s that guy doing with his crutch? Does any artist suspect they’re a genius? \n\nMeet your tour guides in our Courtyard\, near the Merrion Square information desk.\nRead our Visitor Guide for details of what to expect on your visit to the Gallery.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Skullcrusher
DESCRIPTION:Skullcrusher is the folk-electronica musical project of New York-based musician Helen Ballentine. She released her latest album\, And Your Song Is Like A Circle last October\, and has previously supported artists such as Ethel Cain and The Japanese House. \nAnd Your Song Is Like a Circle\, the second album from New York-based artist Skullcrusher\, a.k.a. Helen Ballentine\, winds its way into an everchanging\, unstable core. \nIf Skullcrusher’s first album rendered the detailed intimacies of domestic space\, Circle finds itself vaporised across the landscape: swirling\, drifting\, searching. It skirts an event horizon in long\, slow strokes. These are songs that vibrate with the fervency of an attempt to capture a moment\, to draw a circle around it. \nSkullcrusher is now bringing this to a live audience\, stopping off in Dublin on Saturday\, 20 June 2026. This isn’t one you want to miss.

SUMMARY:Matt Benson
DESCRIPTION:This June\, we are excited to welcome to Whelan’s the incredible Matt Benson. \nFrom a fire-bombed Belfast music shop\, to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage touring the Balkans with Dutch Ska Bands and being down and out in London via every smoky dive bar you can shake a stick at\, Matt has lived the musical life most only dream of — now he’s telling the whole story through soul-drenched vocals\, steeped in cinematic narratives. So close your eyes and follow along. \nHis debut album Sit Back Down Again is capturing peoples imaginations and getting 5-star reviews from the critics. A soul-drenched debut steeped in vintage R&B\, New Orleans brass\, and cinematic storytelling. Grief\, growth\, supernatural characters and barroom romances — told through warm horns\, weathered vocals & raw\, honest songs. Hear echoes of Randy Newman\, Van Morrison\, Chris Stapleton and Dr. John shaped by a surfeit of New Orleans style. Its stories blur the line between rich\, cinematic fiction and the authenticity that comes with having lived through many of the narratives that he explores. \nCome see Matt sing this album at the piano\, hear him growl through the trombone to enchant and compel you through his world of stories in what promises to be an unforgettable evening. \nWith over 120k plays on streaming platforms\, appearances on UTV Life\, RTE Radio 1’s ‘Arena’\, selling out Whelans and praise from George Ezra\, Matt’s had an illustrious career playing trombone. He’s been in George Ezra’s band since 2017\, and played with Bad Manners\, The Pogues\, Neil Hannon\, Hot 8 Brass Band and lots more…
