SUMMARY:Good Kid
DESCRIPTION:Following the announcement of their upcoming debut album Can We Hang Out Sometime? for 3rd April; five-piece Toronto rock band Good Kid have announced the Can We Hang Out? Tour\, which features a show at 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Saturday 19th September 2026. \n\n\nBlending the punchy riffs of J-rock\, the playfulness of indie rock\, and the raw edge of pop-punk\, Good Kid has crafted a sound that’s impossible not to move to. Their ability to spin clever lyrics and sticky melodies into high-energy tracks has turned casual listeners into hardcore fans across the globe. \nGood Kid isn’t your typical rock band; they’re likely the biggest indie act you’ve never heard of. What started as 5 computer science students distracting themselves from assignments—Nick Frosst on vocals\, Jon Kereliuk on drums\, Michael Kozakov on bass\, and David Wood and Jacob Tsafatinos on guitars—quickly exploded into something much bigger\, evolving into a massive global community welcoming people to show up unapologetically as themselves. \nWith four popular EPs under their belt\, Good Kid’s debut full-length\, Can We Hang Out Sometime?\, delivers the high-energy hooks and inventive riffs that have become a hallmark of their sound\, while boldly pushing into new territory; longtime fans will find the signature Good Kid bangers they’ve come to love\, but also hear the band exploring fresh textures\, rhythms\, and sonic twists in their grittiest offering yet. \nRecorded in Los Angeles under the guidance of Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (known for working with the likes of St. Vincent\, Wallows\, and Lana Del Rey)\, the record expands Good Kid’s sonic landscape into more playful and unfiltered places than ever before. \nThe past two years have been a whirlwind for the band. Between 700+ million streams across their EPs\, a recent JUNO Award nod for “Breakthrough Group” and sold-out shows around the world\, they’ve cemented themselves as one of the most exciting acts on the rise. But their music is only part of the story. Good Kid’s real superpower is the deep connection they’ve built with the community that propelled them forward. \nOn platforms like Discord and Twitch\, Good Kid has curated a digital space where fans are invited to participate with the band’s world. Whether sharing animations\, playing games\, or sparking endless conversations about creativity\, they’ve transformed standard fan interactions into a deeply rooted community built on shared passions. Their fans are collaborators rather than spectators.

SUMMARY:Holy F**k
DESCRIPTION:At a time when even entire classic rock bands are being AI generated\, Holy F**k are now more relevant than ever. The Canadian quartet have forged their reputation for making electronic music with a human touch. While many artists create that core electronic via laptops\, loops and drum machines\, Holy F**k keep every element as live as possible. The intoxication they inspire comes not from cold\, staid perfection\, but from the ragged energy that comes from four musicians relishing sharing a moment. Factor in the chaos born from improvisation and skipping a click track in favour of loose\, raw\, real percussion\, and it’s easy to see why Holy F**k are renowned for their pulsating\, unorthodox thrills.

SUMMARY:María José Llergo
DESCRIPTION:live tonite presents from Spain flamenco artist María José Llergo debut show in Ireland on 19 September 2026 at The Grand Social from 8 PM \n\n\n\n\nBorn in Pozoblanco\, a small town in rural Córdoba\, María José Llergo has grown into one of the most compelling figures in contemporary flamenco. Her sound draws from the tradition’s deepest roots\, particularly cante jondo \, while weaving in R&B and electronic production. \nHer debut EP\, Sanación (2020)\, established her as an artist with a clear point of view. Themes of identity\, cultural memory\, and injustice ran through the record\, underpinned by melismatic vocals and atmospheric production rooted in Romani cultural consciousness. \nThe full-length Ultrabelleza followed in 2023 to widespread critical acclaim. Rolling Stone included it among the 50 best Spanish-language albums of the year\, while The New York Times praised her unapologetic commitment to her Andalusian heritage. \nHer profile has grown steadily off the back of the music too. A Loewe campaign alongside Rossy de Palma in 2022 marked a cultural milestone\, and two A Colors Show sessions — La Luz and Tu Piel — extended her reach internationally. Earlier this year\, her Tiny Desk Concert surpassed 388\,000 views within two months of release. \nNow she’s bringing it all to Ireland for the first time. Tickets on sale now\, don’t miss out! \n+18 show. Refunds available only in the event of postponement or cancellation.

SUMMARY:Dead Bob
DESCRIPTION:John Wright\, drummer of hardcore legends No Means No\, brings his new band Dead Bob to Dublin \nDead Bob \nAfter the release of “Life Like” in April of ’23 John Wright (Nomeansno\, Hanson Brothers) had unwittingly launched himself back into the music world. Forming the live band with the amazing talents of Ford Pier (DOA\, Reostatics\, Vengeance Trio)\, Byron Slack (Invasives)\, Kristy Lee Audette (Rong)\, and Colin MacRae (Pigment Vehicle)\, Dead Bob began to hone a live sound and quickly became a juggernaut on stage.

Over this time a second record was in the works and as ’26 dawned the final touches for “Nothing Changes Everything” were completed and preparations for an April 21 release\, exactly 3 years after Life Like\, were underway. So was a new set.  Featuring new songs and new old songs and showcasing the range and talent of these players\, Dead Bob continues to be dynamic unpredictable and of course\, f*****g loud! \nDead Bob plans 3 tours this year\, 2026\, starting in eastern Canada in May and then twice overseas\, June and Sept.

SUMMARY:MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW
DESCRIPTION:Man/Woman/Chainsaw have been described by Rolling Stone at SXSW as “a young band in the process of inventing something ecstatically new”\, the London-based six-piece recently returned with a new single “Adam & Steve”\, part of a special one-off AA release. \nRecorded by Geordie Greep producer Seth Evans & Margo Broom at RAK Studios and featuring verses shared between dual vocalists Billy Ward and Vera Leppänen\, the song is their most immediate and melodic yet\, full of a longing for what might be lost. \nA precociously talented band from London\, who recently celebrated their 150th gig. Since their debut at 16 years old the band have proven themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable acts in the country\, both joyous and raucous in equal measures. \nThe band truly came of age with last years debut EP\, “Eazy Peazy”. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox\, the group presented us with cinematic arrangements\, mauled by moments of cacophony; the band’s Billy Ward says of their writing process\,“we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy\, often trying to jump between the two\, it’s that chaos that excites us.” Eazy Peazy secured attention for the band from the likes of The Quietus\, Guardian\, NME\, The Line Of Best Fit\, So Young\, Stereogum\, The Fader\, BBC 6 Music and more.

SUMMARY:Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein: The Music Of Stranger Things
DESCRIPTION:This 2026 tour offers a complete sonic retrospective\, spanning all five seasons of the series. From the iconic 2016 opening theme to the climactic sounds of the recently released Season 5\, Dixon and Stein bring their atmospheric scores to life.  To elevate the performance into a fully immersive experience\, they have partnered with renowned visual artist MFO (Marcel Weber). The new show features a minimal yet striking design of light and sculpted fog. Light takes on a physical presence through dreamy glows and violent\, haunted movements\, blurring the line between concert and cinema to make the Stranger Things atmosphere a truly tangible experience. \n“It’s a score that understands the difference between ‘retro’ and ‘timeless\,’ opting for a cold\, analog precision that feels both old and startlingly new” – PITCHFORK \n “Like many a great score\, it does not need the visuals to make it sing or to put you in the correct mental space”– LOUDER THAN WAR \n“It is full of gorgeous compositions and details\, blending Eighties-inspired synths that range from the luscious to the eerie” – DROWNED IN SOUND \n “Even with sounds inextricably linked to the late ’70s and early ’80s\, this music tells its story with character\, poise and a fresh perspective” – RESIDENT ADVISOR \nIn the annals of film and television\, certain musical themes manage to transcend the moving image. From the iconic whistle introducing Morricone’s The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly theme to Tangerine Dream’s “Love On A Real Train\,” memorable scores have the uncanny ability to sum up an epoch\, an entire aesthetic. The prolific Texan musicians Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein are responsible for a body of work that’s synonymous with the fictional town of Hawkins\, Indiana\, the supernatural everytown at the center of the Netflix hit Stranger Things. But as the small town becomes the unlikely site for a supernatural battle within the hit series\, Dixon and Stein’s soundscapes\, too\, have expanded in lockstep. In the meantime\, Stein and Dixon compose music for feature films\, documentary series and large-scale installations and play in the band S U R V I V E. Working in the lineage of predecessors like John Carpenter and contemporary peers like Oneohtrix Point Never\, Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein use a lifelong obsession with synthesizers and electronic music as a vehicle for larger-than-life visions. \nWhile Dixon & Stein came to prominence composing music for a series that has become a cultural touchstone\, Stranger Things\, imagery and setting have always been central to the duo’s practice. In 2009\, alongside Mark Donica and Adam Jones\, they formed the live synthesizer band S U R V I V E. Leading up to the formation of the quartet\, Dixon and Stein experimented with field recordings\, venturing down tunnels and ascending water towers around Austin\, Texas\, hauling battery-powered modular setups and field recording equipment out to the sorts of places the Stranger Things kids might explore on their bicycles. As opposed to the laptop-based performances common in live electronic music at the time\, S U R V I V E hauled a studio’s worth of synthesizers and amplifiers into dive bars for legendary live performances\, achieving the ability to fill the room with crushing sound. Whether they knew it or not\, with S U R V I V E\, Dixon and Stein laid the groundwork for their future as one of the pre-eminent scoring teams of our time. Rather than speaking in musical terms\, they’d describe their instrumental synth music with visual cues—a helicopter soaring over a waterfall\, a high-speed chase down darkened Los Angeles alleys. \nWhen The Duffer Brothers found the band and tapped Dixon and Stein for work on Stranger Things\, the duo rolled their sleeves up\, taking on a workload typically handled by a fleet of composers and assistants. As the show gradually transformed from ’80s sci-fi period piece to an expansive supernatural epic\, Stein and Dixon rose to the occasion. While their music for early seasons focused on the timeless sound of ’80s analog synthesizers\, they’d soon harness melodies and atmospherics befitting Eleven and Mike’s interdimensional struggle. Music is a main character in Stranger Things\, with Dixon and Stein’s soundtrack weaving in and out of triumphant\, period-appropriate songs like Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” That song topped the charts after its pivotal use in season four. Similarly\, the duo’s tireless work on Stranger Things catapulted them from underground synth heroes to key composers for modern film and television. Stein and Dixon won an Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music for their work on the show\, in addition to nominations for multiple Grammys and ASCAP awards. \nFor recent seasons of Stranger Things\, the duo has worked at a daunting pace\, crafting the equivalent of a feature film score every two weeks. Somehow\, they’ve also found time to work on multiple feature films in recent years. For Joaquin del Paso’s 2021 independent psychological thriller The Hole In The Fence\, Stein and Dixon paid homage to Tomita’s epic synthesizer compositions as well as the pioneering electronic experiments of Oscar Sala. Their score received a Hollywood Music In Media Awards nomination for Best Independent Score\, while the film itself premiered at Venice Film Festival and took home best film honors at the Cairo Film Festival. They also composed music for Meow Wolf’s massive Denver site. The multimedia installation features ab unnersuve zone scored by the duo\, who were tasked with conceiving a simple\, Close Encounters-style melody that saves a fictional world. Over the pandemic\, Dixon and Stein managed to collaborate remotely with musicians and multiple choirs\, even integrating the mysterious and singular sounds of a Bulgarian Women’s Choir into their Meow Wolf score. The duo also composed the score for the 2021 horror-tinged thriller Retaliators\, adding to a burgeoning catalog that has placed Stein and Dixon’s soundscapes behind VR-views of the cosmos (Spheres)\, scenes from ’90s Silicon Valley (Valley Of The Boom)\, and the journey of an 11-year-old transgender girl (Butterfly)\, to name just a few. \nAfter this prolific run\, Dixon and Stein are simultaneously going back to their roots and embracing new challenges. Currently working out of their respective\, hardware-heavy studios in Los Angeles and Austin\, they’ll soon reunite with their band\, S U R V I V E\, for a new album and worldwide touring. At heart\, Stein and Dixon are avid students of electronic music history who constantly explore new methods of composition and scoring. While they have a clear facility for soundtracking the supernatural and otherworldly\, Stein and Dixon have an equal interest in scoring quieter\, decidedly human drama. It’s been a wild decade for Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein\, who have gone from DIY tinkerers in Austin to introducing a whole new generation to synthesizers via the alchemical combination of sound and moving image. The images have been in their mind all along. Now we just get to watch them

SUMMARY:Saint Etienne
DESCRIPTION:As part of their The Long Goodbye Final UK & IRE Tour\, Saint Etienne have announced a Dublin show at 3Olympia Theatre on Tuesday 22nd September 2026\nIt’s not something to be sad about as the band are planning a series of parties to be remembered. Live sets that pick the “best of the best” from their illustrious 35 year\, 17 UK top 40 singles and 13 album catalogue. \nTickets priced from €42.85 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland \nSaint Etienne’s first ever live performance was on 15th November 1990 at Heaven nightclub in London\, just a few months after the release of their debut single ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’. \nAlthough the band haven’t been the most prolific live act over the last 35 years\, they’ve played most major festivals around the globe and visited more countries than Bob Stanley\, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell can count on their combined fingers. \nSaint Etienne UK tours have included support acts Oasis\, Stereolab\, Broadcast and Pulp and the band have appeared on festival bills alongside the great and the good\, from James Brown to Kyle Minogue and too many others to mention. \nBut unlike most of their predecessors or peers Saint Etienne wish to bow out on a high with their dignity intact. Their final studio album ‘International’ released in September 2025 was a pop music masterclass that reminded us of what we love about the band. Shows to celebrate its release and the band’s long goodbye were promised and now we have news of their final UK tour in September 2026. \nRoll up\, roll up as we celebrate Saint Etienne’s final UK & IRE tour… \nWill there be tours in Europe\, America\, Japan or Australia? \nWho knows\, but one thing is certain – when Saint Etienne say something they mean it – so if you want to catch them on tour in the UK /IRE\, 2026 will be your last chance.

DESCRIPTION:“The law\, Noel. Without it\, all of us are animals in the jungle. Killing and eating and riding whatever we think we can get away with.” \n\n\nPrepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. \nUnstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle – writ large and set loose on the national stage. \nANIMALS is a riotous and kaleidoscopic world premiere commissioned by the Abbey Theatre and based on the critically acclaimed short fiction of award-winning contemporary Irish writer Blindboyboatclub (The Gospel According to Blindboy\, Boulevard Wren\, Topographia Hibernica)\, adapted by Dan Colley (Lost Lear\, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings). \nHidden mythologies emerge as we follow Erskine Fogarty and his fridge-freezer on the long road to Limerick\, the vengeful Pamela Furlong become a dogman\, a poitín maker haunted by a cormorant\, and a dangerous liaison between two titans of Irish history. \nThe bizarreness of life is unmasked in this roaring and roaming new work that wonders aloud if the rowdy kids down the back of class might have been onto something all along. \n  \n\nCredits:\n\nFrom the short stories of: Blindboyboatclub\nAdapted and Directed by: Dan Colley\nSet Design: Owen Boss\nCostume Design: Saileóg O’Halloran\nLighting Design: Suzie Cummins\nComposition and Sound Design: Alma Kelliher\nVideo Design: José Miguel Jimenez\nSpecial Effects Design: Richard Babington\nMovement Director: Jessie Thompson\nAccess Design: Dee Roycroft\nDramaturg: Ruth McGowan\nVoice Director: Andrea Ainsworth\nAssistant Director: Ursula McGinn\nAssistant Costume Design: LaurA Fajardo Castro\nCasting: Barry Coyle and Dawn Mac Allister\nPublicity Artwork: Sarah Moloney

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Isadore Ryan
DESCRIPTION:This event offers an opportunity to hear Isadore Ryan discuss the themes\, stories and inspirations behind Irish Paris\, as well as the rich histories that connect Ireland and France. Through conversation and audience questions\, the evening will explore themes of emigration\, identity and cultural exchange\, reflecting on how Irish people have shaped and been shaped by life abroad. Closely aligned with EPIC’s exploration of the Irish diaspora\, the discussion will bring to life the vibrant and often unexpected experiences of Irish emigrants in Paris across the centuries\, before concluding with a book signing. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. We would ask that you arrive no later than 5:35pm\, as it’s imperative these events begin on time to ensure the best experience for the author and for our visitors. \nAbout the Book\nIrish Paris brings the vibrant history of the Irish in the French capital to life through nearly ninety captivating portraits. From Saint Fiacre to Charles Haughey\, and from seventeenth-century vagrants to Oscar Wilde\, this book reveals the fascinating – and sometimes unexpected – ways Irish expats have shaped and been shaped by Paris\, from the seventh century to today. \nAbout the Author\n\nBorn in Dublin\, Isadore Ryan has lived outside Ireland for several decades\, largely in Paris\, but also in cities such as Frankfurt\, Milan\, Trieste\, Geneva and San Francisco\, building a career as a financial journalist and editor. \nIsadore has published three books on the Irish in Europe: ‘No Way Out—The Irish in Wartime France’\, ‘Roman Imbroglio—Italy and the Irish During World War Two’ and ‘Irish Paris—stories of famous and infamous Irish people in Paris through the centuries’. The most recent of the numerous articles he has penned\, ‘Fool of Fortune: Stanislaus Joyce’s wartime travails’\, appeared in the May/June 2026 edition of History Ireland. \nIsadore has also produced a YouTube series called ‘Forgotten Irish in Europe’ (www.youtube.com/@ForgottenIrishinEurope) and is currently completing a book on the same theme. \n\nEndorsements of Irish Paris\n“What is it they say about Paris—city of dreams\, city of lights\, city of love? It has been all these things and more to the hordes of Irish soldiers\, nobles\, priests\, writers and vagabonds who came and went over the centuries (..) Now a Paris-based writer\, Isadore Ryan\, has chronicle the stories of Irish people who left their mark on the city\, from the fleeting visit of bank robber ‘Chicago May’ Duignan from Longford\, to the writer Samuel Beckett and Margaret Kelly\, the founder of the Bluebill Girls dance troupe.” – Liam Collins\, Sunday Independent
