SUMMARY:Balu Brigada
DESCRIPTION:Balu Brigada craft multi-dimensional alternative pop layered with levels of lush live instrumentation\, cinematic production\, and festival-ready hooks. Henry and Pierre Beasely—the Auckland\, NZ-born duo of brothers\, co-vocalists\, co-writers\, and co-producers Balu Brigada—effectively step through a sonic doorway with their music. Since high school\, they independently honed their chops for years until landing a deal with Warner Music Australia\, Atlantic Music Group and ARRO Records in the United States. The group cultivated their signature sound with the I Should Be Home EP [2022] and Find A Way EP [2023]—highlighted by the fan favorite “Designer” which amassed 26 million Spotify streams and counting. Along the way\, they also incited the applause of everyone from Rolling Stone\, Coup de Main\, i-D\, and OnesToWatch to People who christened them “Best New Artist.” Twenty One Pilots even notably selected Balu Brigada as special guests on their massive “Clancy Tour” across North America\, Latin America\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Europe\, and the UK. The duo reached critical mass with their track “So Cold.” It not only gathered 34 million total streams and counting\, but it also notched their very first #1 at radio in the US\, claiming the top spot at Alternative. They made their late-night television debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! with a stunning performance of the song. Plus\, it claimed a coveted spot on the FIFA 2025 Official Soundtrack\, and SiriusXM spotlighted it as a “Critical Cut.” After piling up hundreds of millions of streams and selling out shows\, the band elevate to another stratosphere altogether on their full-length debut album\, Portal\, introduced by the single “Backseat.”

SUMMARY:Super Furry Animals
DESCRIPTION:Super Furry Animals return to re-open the door into their world of ageless\, multicolour melody and offbeat phantasia\, surprising fans by announcing Six Supacabra Britain & Ireland Tour Dates opening at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Wednesday 6th May 2026. \nLeaping into their enduring\, endorphin-stirring nine-album songbook\, with a singular mission to bring unalloyed joy to the hearts of the Furry family\, the announcement brings to an end an almost decade-long hiatus with further dates in Glasgow\, Llandudno\, Manchester and London all confirmed. \nTickets €50.70/€56.35/€61.35 (Inc Booking Fee & Venue Restoration Levy) On Sale Now From Ticketmaster.ie. \nBookings Subject To 12.5% Service Charge Per Ticket (Max €10.50) \nTempering the irresistible tug towards nostalgia\, Super Furry Animals will release a cut of previously unreleased music on the eve of tickets going on sale\, with BBC 6 Music’s Huw Stephens premiering Rock ‘N’ Roll Flu this Thu 2 October 2025 at 5pm. \nOriginally released on Mon 22 August 2005\, the Furries’ third and final album to be recorded by Epic Records\, Love Kraft is to be reissued on double vinyl\, 2CDs\, including the 22-track bonus CD\, Kiss Me With Apocalypse and digital formats on Fri 24 October 2025 via the Cardiff-based independent label\, Strangetown Records. Four previously unheard tracks are drawn from the vaults\, including the squidgy ELO-stomp of drummer\, Daf Ieuan-led Rock ‘N’ ‘Roll Flu’\, plus the distorted space-jam of ‘Cae Marw’\, the band’s deep-bass sketch of Palo Alto and ghostly\, percussive morsel of ‘Bedw Arian’. \nThe album followed six\, previous albums by the band\, including their statement debut album\, Fuzzy Logic in 1996\, offering era-crystalising singles\, ‘God! Show Me Magic’ and ‘Hometown Unicorn’\, melding an attention-demanding mix of literary\, narcotic and musical influences. Maintaining a shape that was ill-fitting in the jigsaw of other 90’s guitar bands\, their follow-up\, UK Top Ten album\, Radiator brought the hooky squelch of the bona fide indie dancefloor classic\, ‘The International Language of Screaming’. The next decade saw the release of the first Top 20-charting\, Welsh language album\, Mwng (2000)\, followed by further experimentation and commercial success with Rings Around The World (2001) and Phantom Power (2003). \nLove Kraft’s sense of cohesion\, collaboration and free-flow of rich harmony has been credited to the five-piece escaping Wales to record in the shimmering heat of Figueres\, Catalunya. Bringing famed Beastie Boys producer\, Mario Caldato Jr along with them for the ride\, the travelling band’s stay in the Catalonian hometown of Salvador Dali included found sounds\, boozy petrol stations\, gastronomic revelations and\, finally\, a rich album of strings\, synths and opulent vocal harmonies. \nWhile eventually finding their way to Baha\, near to Rio di Janeiro to mix the album (where four fifths of the band undertook lessons in Portuguese and the legendary Abbey Road 1968-built mixing desk\, EMI TG12345 took up residence)\, involving another two weeks under the sun\, Love Kraft’s story began in Wales and Pleasure Foxxx Studios\, where the band began to craft the album’s songs. Embracing the landmark of a seventh album\, notably coming after the 2004 release of their first ‘best of…’ package\, Songbook: The Singles\, Vol. 1\, Super Furry Animals pooled ideas and affected further democracy in their songwriting\, taking a load off traditional lead-writer and front man\, Gruff Rhys\, and sharing in lead vocal duties (aside from the microphone-averse bassist\, Guto Pryce). \nGiving up only one single in Lazer Beam\, backed on release with perhaps a definitive\, lost ‘classic Furries’ track\, ‘Sunny Seville’ and the CD-only ‘Colonise the Moon’ (both featured amongst the reissue’s extensive track listing)\, Super Furry Animals remained true to Love Kraft’s easy-going\, love-lorn concept. Accompanied by a video directed by Welsh filmmaking duo\, Palumbo & Coch\, the single reached the UK Singles Chart Top 30\, the promotional trail cooling thereafter\, saved for an extensive tour of Europe\, North America and the Far East. That trip included stadium gigs opening for Oasis in the UK\, a coast-to-coast US tour backed by the upcoming Caribou and festivals in Istanbul\, Japan and Taiwan.

SUMMARY:Cloth
DESCRIPTION:Scottish twins Rachael and Paul Swinton sounded like few around them when they released their 2019 self-titled debut. Their appeal lived in tense guitar parts and Rachael’s signature close vocal. In the time since\, they have worked to perfect that sound. The 2023 follow-up Secret Measure expanded it in every direction\, with more layers\, more interplay\, and gutsier writing. \nNow\, three records in\, they embrace letting go of expectation. Pink Silence is unafraid to go big in the quest to make something lasting. With Owen Pallett\, Adrian Utley (Portishead)\, and Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai) contributing\, this mission is supported by some of their musical heroes. \nThe record returns to the feeling of no longer having someone who was a part of your life\, whether that’s in the form of a loved one\, a relationship or a friend. “It does sound quite morbid\, but it felt nice”\, Paul says\, “because it encouraged a reflection on the people I have in my life who I’m close with. It made me cherish them all the more and be present in my time and appreciation of them.” \nCloth are a special partnership on the stage\, in the studio and as people. Three records in\, that partnership solidifies once again. “I think it’s because we’re best friends\,” Rachael says. “Like any siblings\, we definitely have fallouts and disagreements\, and that travels into creative discussions as well. But for the most part\, we share the same vision and ambition for what our music can be.” \nWith Pink Silence\, the band entered the studio to make the ten strongest songs they possibly could\, and they left a stronger band.

SUMMARY:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours

SUMMARY:My Fierce Ignorant Step
DESCRIPTION:Christos Papadopoulos returns to DDF with his latest creation\, My Fierce Ignorant Step\, which connects a vibrant soundscape with intricate movement to illuminate the sheer euphoria of being alive. \nTen dancers listen\, breathe and move as one. Memories\, voices and rhythms accumulate\, pulse and swell until the movement itself begins to feel like an exhilarating song – one that resonates far beyond the stage. \nPapadopoulos’s most personal work to date\, My Fierce Ignorant Step is about beginnings: a youthful lust for life\, fearless belief\, and the sense that everything still lies ahead. It is an attempt to reclaim that state – its strength\, its confidence and its spirit of togetherness. \nCreated after Papadopoulos received the inaugural Rose International Dance Prize\, My Fierce Ignorant Step is buoyant\, open-hearted and deeply human. It celebrates connection and invites audiences to rediscover our courage and the radical power of hope. It reminds us that to feel alive\, together\, is already an act of resistance. \n  \n\nSpecial Thanks To Euripides Laskaridis\, Sotiris Melanos and Filanthi Bougatsou.\nCommissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi. With the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. Co-producers: Théâtre de la Ville – Paris (France)\, Julidans (The Netherlands)\, Romaeuropa Festival (Italy)\, Theatre D’Orleans / Scène Nationale (France)\, Lac Lugano Arte e Cultura (Switzerland)\, December Dance Concertgebouw Brugge (Belgium)\, One Dance Festival (Bulgaria)\, Festival de Marseille (France)\, I Teatri di Reggio Emilia (Italy). The presentation of the performance is supported by Onassis Stegi Touring Programme.\nChristos Papadopoulos with My Fierce Ignorant Step is nominated for the Fedora Van Cleef & Arpels Dance Prize 2025. With the financial support of the Ministry of Culture.\nA Project by Christos Papadopoulos | The Lion and the Wolf.

SUMMARY:Joey Valence & Brae - HYPERYOUTH
DESCRIPTION:In the 4 years since joining forces\, fast-rising\, genre-defying alt/hip-hop phenoms Joey Valence & Brae have cemented themselves as a must-see live act and bonafide recording artists with viral one-off singles and full-length projects like their recently released third studio album HYPERYOUTH. \nJoey Valence & Brae have announced they’ll bring their HYPERMOUTH tour to 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Thursday 7th May 2026. \n\n\nWith the volume turned up to max capacity and while remaining undeniably themselves throughout\, JVB is as eclectic and hard-hitting as ever on HYPERYOUTH and recently wrapped the first leg of their sold-out HYPERYOUTH WORLD TOUR in celebration of the new record which brought their insane live show (which BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders calls “the best live show I’ve been to in years”) to cities throughout North America and the UK as well as to major festivals including Gov Ball\, Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza (Chicago\, Paris and Berlin)\, Osheaga\, Shaky Knees\, Austin City Limits Music Festival and more. \nHYPERYOUTH was written\, produced\, mixed and mastered by the pair in Joey’s State College\, PA bedroom and is jam-packed with all the hallmarks of the best of JVB. It’s a sample-heavy\, maximalist rager threaded by boisterous raps\, booty popping bars\, catchy call and response hooks and EDM-infused beats\, and features the likes of JPEGMAFIA\, Rebecca Black and TiaCorine. The record digs deeper thematically\, weaving a message of growing up without getting old throughout — a marked\, lyrical evolution and the duo’s most innovative work to date that still marries elements from their early hits and critically-acclaimed debut PUNK TACTICS (its title track was Certified RIAA Gold) and sophomore LP NO HANDS + NO HANDS (Deluxe Edition)\, which featured Danny Brown\, Z-Trip and Ayesha Erotica. \nIn between those drops\, they’ve collaborated with an eclectic mix of friends and fans including IDK\, Pendulum\, 6ix\, ACRAZE and Apashe\, and conquered the sync market over the past year\, appearing in viral commercials including Pepsi’s award-winning “Chase Cars\,” in video games such as Madden NFL 26\, WWE 2025\, MLB: The Show 24 and on popular TV shows including Abbott Elementary\, Cobra Kai\, Based on a True Story and more. \nWith each year\, JVB grow bolder\, braver and louder\, turning up the volume on their swag as they skillfully traverse a smash and grab collision of 90s hip-hop\, drum ‘n’ bass and decades-spanning pop culture references\, carving out their own niche with a signature sound that’s equal-parts nostalgic yet futuristic\, authentic and infectious while still on a mission to one day open a Cheesecake Factory in their hometown.

SUMMARY:Brògeal
DESCRIPTION:Following the release of their acclaimed album ‘Tuesday Paper Club’ last year\, Scottish folk-punk group Brògeal will make their highly anticipated return to Dublin with a headline show at The Academy on Thursday\, 7th  May 2026. \nTickets from €24.00 (inc booking fee & venue facility fee) from Ticketmaster.ie. Bookings subject to 12.5% service charge per ticket (max €10.50) \nThe rambunctious Celtic folk of The Pogues\, the story-telling charm of The View\, the lush pop harmonies of Teenage Fanclub\, the jangly delicacy of the Smiths\, the yearning of a classic Oasis B-side and a Scottish brogue as defiant as the Proclaimers… Brògeal have it all – and make it their own. A bubbling cultural cauldron set to boiling point\, the sound overflows with accordion\, banjo\, bouzouki\, mandolin and perky penny whistle\, where ancient folk tradition meets an indie Gen Z sensibility and laughs\, sings and dances in the face of 21st century darkness. The death of the swaggering good-time band has been greatly exaggerated. \nFrom small-town Falkirk in central Scotland the folk-punk-indie-pop five-piece have big ideas\, with a reputation as one of the best live bands in Britain\, their communal\, sing-along\, delirious anthems igniting mosh-pit madness throughout the UK\, Ireland and beyond. Everybody loves them. \n“The thing about our music is that it transcends all age groups\,” notes vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Daniel Harkins. “You’ve got 14-year-old boys with their mums\, they’re all going mental\, you’ve got old punks\, middle-aged women\, young adults\, old people\, everybody’s digging it\, you know? There’s something for everybody because you’ve got your folky influences\, The Pogues\, with this indie edge and pop sensibilities.” \nBrògeal (pronounced Bro-gale) got here via the old-school\, DIY route. Borne from a friendship on a bus – Daniel and fellow songwriter Aidan Callaghan (vocals\, banjo) met on journeys to Celtic football games – they formed a typically ramshackle school punk band\, Shiva\,who were “shit”\, but the passion remained. Traditional folk fans forever\, loving The Dubliners nand The Pogues\, ideas for a folk band evolved\, soon joined by Sam MacMillan who taught himself to play his grandad’s accordion. When Covid struck in 2020\, more self-taught musicianship filled the void\, learning their folky craft on curious olde instruments\, two metres apart\, in Daniel’s back garden under a leaky Asda gazebo. Emerging from Covid\, two new recruits joined – local studio engineer Euan Mundie (bass) and Luke Mortimer (drums) – and the distinctive Brògeal sound took shape: fearlessly merging traditionally raucous Celtic folk with deft\, harmonious songcraft\, pop nous and the indie noughties energy they grew up on. \n“We never set out with a [musical] plan\,” notes Daniel. “Whatever we bring to the band\, no matter what genre\, it always ends up sounding like a Brògeal song anyway.” \nThey made their first EP for themselves\, ‘Dirt and Daydreams’ (2023) released on their own winningly titled CraicDen label\, followed by an eponymous EP in 2024 on Is Right Records\, leading to a signing with revered independent label Play It Again Sam (PIAS\, home to Nick Cave\, The Hives\, Cameron Winter). For the last 18 months they’ve toured relentlessly\, throughout the UK and Ireland\, gathering ecstatic fans\, have supported Paolo Nutini\, The Mary Wallopers and The Lathums\, found fans in both 6 Music’s Huw Stephen and Line of Duty actor Martin Compston\, been eulogised in Rolling Stone\, the Independent\, Clash\, The New Cue\, So Young and Dork. \n“We’ve always been kept busy and it just kind of got bigger and bigger at a really natural rate\,” says Aidan. “It’s the stuff of dreams. You think\, ‘Oh\, that could never happen’\, and we’re doing it!” \n“Aidan’s being kind of humble there\,” interjects Daniel. “Because we had the belief from the very start. That we’d be massive!” \nTheir debut album\, released this October\, spectacularly fulfils the belief. Tuesday Paper Club showcases their limitless musical range\, with lyrical themes of romance\, heartache\, booze\, local nutters\, nostalgia and loss\, its artwork featuring a paper boy\, Aidan’s wee brother Finn. The title is a withering\, generational quip: Daniel once worked the day shift in Falkirk’s oldest pub\, The Wheatsheaf (established 1779)\, “a total old man’s pub”\, where most days three old fellers took up residency with the newspapers. “They wouldn’t talk to each other until they’d had about five pints\,” says Daniel\, and when talk did start\, alongside the headlines\, there would be disparaging remarks on the apparently “stupid” young. “So I just thought it would be really cheeky to write about them\,” laughs Daniel\, who wrote the lyrics there on a Tuesday. “Just talking about the mundanity of what they were up to while being so judgmental\, you know?” \nThe album’s recording location was also unique. Black Bay Studio sits on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s profoundly remote Outer Hebrides\, a residential studio refurbished from a fish processing factory\, overlooking a stunning bay. Here\, the five slept alongside producer Richie Kennedy\, the Irish Producer/Engineer/Mixer based in London (Libertines\, Cardinals\, Last Dinner Party\, Interpol\, Dua Lipa/Kylie\, U2). \n“We want to be the biggest and best band in the world!” he now declares. “But we also want to have a good time doing this. Because\, in theory\, it could be curtains tomorrow.” Brògeal: A proper band\, for everyone\, cheering up the world. The good times\, finally\, are back.

SUMMARY:GRESLEY
DESCRIPTION:GRESLEY\, the solo project of UK based independent artist George Smith\, begins a new chapter for the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Spending months in his bedroom writing\, Gresley has been working towards a debut album releasing in April of 2026\, executive produced by the hit-making duo The Futuristics . A combination of love\, quiet desperation and yearning\, these songs bring to life what George Smith has not yet had the chance to express as an artist and songwriter. With over a decade of experience touring around the globe\, GRESLEY brings a lively and unmatched energy to the stage. His upcoming album is one primed for live performances\, but also provides listeners with a unique emotional experience whether at home\, on the go\, or at a live show.

SUMMARY:Perspectives: Makaya McCraven
DESCRIPTION:After celebrating the 10th anniversary of his groundbreaking album In the Moment\, Makaya McCraven continues to push the boundaries of what we call jazz – inviting you on a journey through time\, space\, and culture. With his latest album\, In These Times – the result of over seven years of relentless work – he presents a fusion of improvisation\, innovative rhythms\, and deep cultural references. \nOften described as a “cultural synthesizer\,” McCraven believes that the term “jazz” is simply not enough to capture the musical phenomenon he creates. As The New York Times has noted\, “McCraven has quietly become one of the best arguments for jazz’s vitality.” \nBetween August and October 2025\, Makaya McCraven has simultaneously released four new EPs titled Techno Logic\, PopUp Shop\, Hidden Out!\, and The People’s Mixtape. All four EPs were produced in McCraven’s signature ‘organic beat music’ style that first debuted on his 2015 album In The Moment\, and further developed across subsequent releases Highly Rare\, Where We Come From\, and Universal Beings\, where he exercises heavy post-production on live recordings of improvisations he leads from the drumkit.

In the next 12 months they’ll continue to take folk music back to its roots by many routes\, playing more than 100 shows across the UK\, Europe\, North America and Australia. \nTheir love of heritage and tradition runs deep – in 2024 they released the fan-funded album Voyage with its companion book of original short stories\, artwork and lyrics. However\, as digital natives and avid gamers\, The Longest Johns were overjoyed to play at the opening of the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships where they debuted a new track\, Face the World\, written especially for the event. \nWith a strong digital presence boasting over 500\,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 700\,000 monthly Spotify listeners\, they’ve also released a 20-track album of sea shanties digitally retooled in Chiptune\, taken part in the annual Jingle Jam hosted by gaming stream The Yogscast\, and share their own video games on YouTube and Twitch @LongestJohnsGaming. \nThe band have toured extensively across the UK\, North America\, and Europe\, as well as Australia and New Zealand.

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. On a stroll around the inner city\, our guide will explain the real-life inspiration behind some of Joyce’s most celebrated writing\, demonstrating just how central the streetscape of the ‘Hibernian metropolis’ was to the author’s life and art. The tour visits such stops as Belvedere College\, the Gresham Hotel\, the James Joyce Statue\, Davy Byrnes\, and the National Library.\n\nThis is an excellent and fun introduction to Joyce in a bustling part of the city.\n\nThe James Joyce Centre offers two tours: Introducing Joyce’s Dublin and Footsteps of Leopold Bloom.\n\nEvery Thursday\, Friday & Saturday at 11 am. Duration 2 hours.\n\nAdmission to the James Joyce Centre is included. \nThe James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport.
