SUMMARY:Crowe Boys
DESCRIPTION:Crowe Boys have been making music since both could pick up an instrument. Their music was an integral part of their family’s traveling lifestyle. \nWhile aspects of their career have changed over the years\, the underlying message of their music has not. Being positive and sharing hope has always been their trademark. Now\, a couple of decades later\, that is still the case. Their journey took an exciting turn when they crossed paths with Andrew Campanelli\, drummer for the multi-platinum band The Revivalists\, who recognized the magic in their sound and stepped in as their producer. Together\, they began recording a collection of songs\, sharing the journey in real-time on social media. Then\, in early 2024\, a casual TikTok post featuring their song “Where Did I Go Wrong” went viral\, changing everything. The raw\, heartfelt clip exploded\, racking up tens of millions of views and earning the Crowe Boys thousands of new fans overnight. Their authentic rise caught the attention of Universal Music Group Nashville\, who signed the duo shortly after. With over 600K followers across social media\, the Crowe Boys’ rapidly growing fanbase is a testament to their genuine connection with their audience. \n

SUMMARY:Prewn
DESCRIPTION:Prewn is the project of Izzy Hagerup\, born out of years of songwriting and shaped into one of Western Massachusetts’ most exciting emerging bands. What began as Hagerup’s intimate solo work has expanded into a full lineup with Mia Huggs (bass)\, Calvin Parent (guitar)\, and Karl Helander (drums)\, bringing new weight and dimension to the songs.

SUMMARY:The Tallest Man On Earth
DESCRIPTION:The Swedish singer-songwriter troubadour Kristian Matsson\, better known as The Tallest Man on Earth has a rare talent for captivating an audience with just his raw\, grainy voice and a guitar. He plays various string instruments\, ranging from acoustic guitar\, banjo and he recently picked up and started exploring the realm of the violin as well. The coming year will see him on the road again through Europe and North-America including the National Concert Hall in Dublin for the first time. \nThe project of Kristian Matsson – who has spent much of the last 19 years touring around the world as The Tallest Man On Earth – has captivated audiences using “every inch of his long guitar cord to roam the stage: darting around\, crouching\, stretching\, hip-twitching\, perching briefly and jittering away…” (The New York Times). In 2020\, Matsson left New York City and returned to his farm in Sweden where he drowned out his thoughts by manically growing vegetables in his garden. It was only near the end of 2021\, as he began to tour again\, that the inspiration returned. “When I’m in motion\, I can focus on my instinct\, have my daydreams again. When I was finally able to tour again\, I started writing like a madman.” He eventually had a collection of songs\, revealing what would become Henry St\, an album that sees Matsson exploring his own stubborn optimism and “how to be a person in this world”. \n​​​​​​​After 2015’s Dark Bird Is Home\, described by Pitchfork as his “most personal record… surreal and dreamlike\,” and his self-released I Love You\, It’s a Fever Dream in 2019\, Kristian Matsson returned in 2022 with the intricate cover album Too Late for Edelweiss. In 2023\, he unveiled his sixth album\, Henry St.\, marking the first time he recorded with a full band. “For most of my career\, I’ve been a DIY artist\, driven by the feeling that I didn’t know what I was doing\, so I just handled everything myself\,” Matsson explained. But with Henry St.\, he craved the creative spark that comes from collaboration and invited his friends to join him in the studio. \nPresented by Foggy Notions

SUMMARY:Sadhbh Mcloughlin
DESCRIPTION:From Belgian chocolates to hot chicken rolls\, after 10 years Sadhbh can finally pronounce her name right. Sort of… \nWith an Irish passport\, a Brussels upbringing\, and an adulthood spent back in Ireland\, this solo stand-up storytelling show explores what happens when “home” is more of a concept than a place. Blending sharp observational comedy with personal stories\, the show digs into life as a third culture kid\, cultural impostor syndrome\, and the quiet panic of trying to feel Irish enough. It’s a funny\, thoughtful look at identity\, belonging\, and what it really means to come home. \nA show about Irishness\, identity\, and the privilege of not being questioned.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Theo Dorgan on Camarade
DESCRIPTION:This event offers an opportunity to hear Theo Dorgan discuss the themes\, characters and inspirations behind Camarade\, as well as his wider body of work. Through conversation and audience questions\, the evening will explore themes of friendship\, memory\, exile and political idealism\, reflecting on lives shaped by movement\, solidarity and the passage of time. Closely aligned with EPIC’s exploration of the Irish diaspora\, the discussion will consider how personal and collective histories intersect across borders\, 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\nCamarade is a philosophical thriller of striking depth\, following an Irishman living in Paris as he reflects on a single violent act that forced him to flee Ireland forty years earlier. Encouraged to write his life story\, Joseph embarks on a process of self-examination that reveals a life shaped by exile\, memory and moral uncertainty.\nMoving between Paris and Cork\, and between past and present\, the novel explores themes of violence\, identity and the enduring impact of our choices. As Joseph confronts the defining question of his life\, Camarade becomes both an intimate character study and a meditation on history\, self-awareness and the nature of who we become. \nAbout the Author\n\nBorn in Cork\, Theo Dorgan is one of Ireland’s most celebrated poets and writers. He has published numerous collections of poetry as well as prose\, and has long been associated with Ireland’s literary and cultural life. \nIn addition to his writing\, Dorgan has worked as a documentary screenwriter and broadcaster\, contributing significantly to Irish arts and media. His work is known for its lyricism\, political awareness and deep engagement with themes of place\, identity and human connection. \n\nEndorsements of Camarade\n“Moving with the tension of a thriller while exploring profound philosophical questions\, Camarade confirms Theo Dorgan’s place as one of our most thoughtful and elegant literary voices.” – Mercier Press \n“Theo Dorgan is one of the finest poets now writing in English.” – John Banville

SUMMARY:S*x Mask
DESCRIPTION:Vague pop instilled with the ancient genius of your own blood. \nS*x Mask holds the many trigger words your CIA handler doesn’t want you to know. They have several testimonials from fans attesting to semi-mystical experiences\, some claim it to be Deja vu from a genetic memory long dormant and locked. \nOthers speak of foreshadowed flashes of a past life they are yet to have lived. All of this\, incited after only seconds of exposure to any of their available songs. \nis S*x Mask just another egregious attempt from delusional solipsists at being heard while saying close to nothing? Yes. But they make it look good. \nPart Taoist riddle\, part lone gun-mans manifesto. \nThey are also a 3 piece post punk/alt rock band from Melbourne.

A 300-year-old story that claims to make its protagonist\, Mirandolina\, an example of the “barbaric cruelty” and “insulting contempt” of women who mock men’s love\, the effect of La Locandiera is in fact a sincere exaltation of female intelligence.  \nIn this exciting adaptation written by Abbey Theatre Associate Artist Marina Carr and directed by Caitríona McLaughlin\, Mirandolina examines the life of a lost young woman and the admirers and predators who surround her.   \nThis is a play about fear\, female fear\, and the price extracted from these lost girls who dare to fight back – a story finding fresh and unprecedented connections with the present. \nMirandolina is performed in Italian with English surtitles.  \nMirandolina is a world premiere co-production by the Abbey Theatre\, Teatro Stabile del Veneto – Teatro Nazionale and Croatian National Theatre in Rijeka – HNK Rijeka which celebrates the Milan-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad.  \nIt premieres in Treviso\, Italy\, in February 2026 and tours to Belluno\, Venice\, Padua\, Verona\, Rijeka\, and Milan; before coming to the Abbey Stage in August 2026.  \nFunded as part of the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport EU Presidency Culture Programme.

SUMMARY:White Denim
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 2006\, for approaching 20 years White Denim has been celebrated for their fearless blend of garage rock\, soul\, jazz fusion\, psychedelia\, and experimental improvisation. \nBased for much of that time in Austin\, though frontman James Petralli has since relocated to Los Angeles\, the group quickly built a reputation for electrifying live shows and adventurous musicianship\, earning comparisons to both classic rock icons and modern innovators. \nTheir 2008 debut Workout Holiday established them as genre-defying outsiders\, while later releases such as Corsicana Lemonade in 2013 showcased a more polished but no less daring approach. At the heart of the band’s vision is frontman James Petralli\, whose distinctive voice\, sharp guitar work\, and inventive songwriting anchor White Denim’s sound. His dynamic presence both in the studio and on stage has made him one of the most compelling frontmen in modern rock\, ensuring White Denim remains one of the most unique and unpredictable forces in contemporary music.

SUMMARY:Aer Lingus College Football Classic – TCU Horned Frogs vs North Carolina Tar Heels
DESCRIPTION:Texas Christian University (TCU) and the University of North Carolina (UNC) will open the 2026 college football season in Dublin\, in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. The game will be held on August 29th\, 2026\, at the Aviva Stadium. \nTCU\, from Fort Worth\, Texas will serve as the home team in Dublin against UNC who have recently appointed Bill Belichick as head football coach. Belichick is considered by many as the greatest coach in all of professional sports as he has won an NFL- record eight Super Bowls – six as a head coach for the New England Patriots and two as an assistant coach with the New York Giants. Belichick drafted and crafted superstars such as Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. \nThe 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic will be just the fifth time TCU and North Carolina football teams compete against each other dating back to 1940 and the first time for both teams to have played football internationally. \nTCU are two-time National Championship winners and most recently reached the College Football National Championship in 2023. While both teams have a rich history of producing top level football talent\, UNC have also produced other sporting legends such as 6-time NBA Champion Micheal Jordan and 2x Olympic Gold Medallist and FIFA World Cup Winner Mia Hamm to name a few.

I’m ready and excited!” \nIn tandem with today’s tour announcement\, the band will release their latest studio album FOREVER (Legendary Edition) out Friday which is a star-studded collaboration album featuring reimagined takes on the band’s latest songs from their FOREVER album with some of the biggest names in music.  See below for TRACKLISTING which includes a diverse array of artists including Bruce Springsteen\, Lainey Wilson\, Jelly Roll\, Jason Isbell\, Carin Leon\, Joe Elliott\, Robbie Williams\, Avril Lavigne and more. \nSpeaking to the album process Jon Bon Jovi said:  “This album is more than just a collection of collaborations\, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024.  I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording\, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still  out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of\, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers\, artists\, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit — a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends.  I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music.

SUMMARY:Hovvdy
DESCRIPTION:Hovvdy’s Will Taylor and Charlie Martin have occupied a distinct corner of the modern-day indie landscape for more than a decade. Having evolved from their understated slowcore beginnings in Austin\, Texas\, they’re now seasoned veterans of the scene. Across their first five studio albums\, the duo established their trademark sound of twangy indie rock\, 2000s-inspired pop-country\, and emotional acoustic ballads with strong pop sensibilities. Their last two records saw them processing life’s most intense emotions more openly than ever before\, from declarations of love in its many forms on 2021’s True Love\, to grappling with loss and personal change on their latest self-titled album\, Hovvdy. But the songs of Big World have them trading in overt emotional directness for subject matter that leans enigmatic\, contemplating their place in the world through a mosaic of songs that sees the band at their most secure and self-aware.

SUMMARY:Way Dynamic
DESCRIPTION:Foggy Notions are proud to present the Irish Debut of Way Dynamic. \nWay Dynamic\, the solo project of Melbourne’s Dylan Young\, will soon release internationally Massive Shoe – a third album that’s playful and understated\, luminous and textured. Massive Shoe is minimalist folk-pop\, art rock and baroque pop\, produced and largely played by Young\, who moonlights in Melbourne’s beloved Cool Sounds and Good Morning and has played drums with Snowy Band and Kankawa Nagarra. It’s tempting to only compare these timeless songs to those of yesteryear\, but there’s a sensibility\, a turn of phrase\, that feels deeply contemporary: it’s telling that Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield described “Miffed It” as her “favourite song in a VERY long time”\, and Katie and MJ Lenderman have both taken Way Dynamic on tour. At the same time\, Sir Elton John said that he “just cannot stop listening” to “Ibiza”. Young’s songs don’t shy away from sentiment\, or equally from silliness: on any given song he might evoke a cruisy trip through hell or earnestly lament a miscommunication. Whether the journey is to space or along the Seine\, we’re very much along for the ride. \n

SUMMARY:Clarion
DESCRIPTION:Formed\, almost accidentally\, in a shared east LA lockout\, the members of Clarion came together to write music together in late 2023. Anthony\, Saya and Joseph had all had spent time in the local DIY scene of East Los Angeles and in 2024 decided to record the songs they had been writing in a quick three-day sprint. They implemented efforts like layering multiple amps in stereo\, panned left to right with different tones\, to create an illusion of two guitarists. They tried every idea that came to mind\, allowing the songs to become fully realised instead of rushed. The result is an immersive and youthful mix of shoegaze\, post-punk\, and Japanese rock. These recordings became their debut EP\, simply titled Clarion. \nThe song “Hello Juliet” from that EP quickly gained traction on TikTok when a fan-made video started to go viral. Of the song\, singer and bassist Saya Oliva says “The song is about wanting to make it right with someone.” Guitarist Anthony Sanchez adds\, “I ended up writing the riff and song after one of my best friends passed\, and we weren’t on the best of terms when it happened so the lyrics really reflect that feeling of regret\, of wanting to start over.”  \nFrom there\, they were catapulted from their local DIY scene to a much bigger stage. Signing with Broke Records in 2025\, “Hello Juliet” continued to grow and find more listeners as it currently has more than 55 million streams across platforms. Opportunities to tour with artists like Violent Vira\, Rehash\, Mexican Slum Rats\, and Mind’s Eye followed in 2025 as the band honed their live set and added touring member Javier Flores on drums. Intent on fully earning their touring stripes in 2026\, they are heading out on the road supporting shoegaze legends Panchiko and embarking on their own national headline tour.  As busy as they are\, community is at the core of Clarion. You can still find them jumping onstage at their local Dennys for a sold out DIY show or hosting their annual Christmas charity benefit show in Pomona. \nWhen they aren’t on tour\,  they’re back in the room where they started — jamming\, debating\, refining\, and crafting a sound big enough to swallow the space around them. Off the success of their debut EP\, they’ve released a handful of singles leading into Blue Fairy\, their new EP out now.
