SUMMARY:Festival of Voice: Jóhann Jóhannsson's Drone Mass
DESCRIPTION:Jóhann Jóhannsson Drone Mass \nFestival of Voice is a weekend festival celebrating the power\, beauty and universality of the human voice. \nExperience Jóhann Jóhannsson’s mesmerising Drone Mass\, with Chamber Choir Ireland and Crash Ensemble. Two of Ireland’s leading ensembles join together in a mesmerising soundscape of voices\, strings\, and electronics. \nDrone Mass isn’t really a mass. It’s a mysterious and richly atmospheric work inspired by ancient Egyptian Coptic hymn. \nThe late Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson was a singular talent\, as celebrated for his theatre and film scores (including Arrival and Sicario) as for his orchestral work. Since his untimely death in 2018\, Drone Mass has come to be regarded as the Icelandic composer’s crowning achievement. \nFollowing the enormous success of the sold-out Irish Premiere presented by Kilkenny Arts Festival and subsequent national tour\, Crash Ensemble and Chamber Choir Ireland now bring this iconic work to the National Concert Hall under conductor Gabriel Crouch. \nPresented by NCH and supported by IPUT Real Estate Dublin

SUMMARY:Alan Stivell
DESCRIPTION:Alan Stivell was born on January 6\, 1944\, in Riom\, Auvergne\, during World War II. His father\, Georges Cochevelou\, of Cornish (Gourin) and Vannetais (Pontivy) Breton descent\, had lived in Paris after World War I. His mother\, Fanny\, whose parents had diverse roots (including Russian and French)\, embraced her husband’s Breton identity. Because of the war\, the family moved frequently: one brother was born in Paris\, another in Épinal\, and Alan himself in Riom. He therefore had no particular ties to Auvergne. \nAfter the Liberation\, instead of returning to Brittany\, the family settled in Paris within the Breton diaspora. A visit to relatives in La Trinité-sur-Mer proved decisive: at the age of five\, discovering his father’s homeland deeply moved him. Around the same time\, he began studying piano and met composer Paul Le Flem. \nIn 1952\, his two brothers joined the Breton scouting movement Bleimor\, while his father built the first modern Breton harp. Immersed in a strongly Breton cultural atmosphere\, Alan took his first harp lessons in April 1953—marking the beginning of a prestigious artistic path. In November of that year\, at the Maison de la Bretagne in Paris\, the public rediscovered the Celtic harp after centuries of neglect\, captivated by the nine-year-old performing Pedenn evit Breizh. \nFrom the early 1950s (from age nine)\, his recitals stirred audiences at UNESCO\, Vannes Cathedral\, and the Olympia in Paris\, helping to revive the Celtic harp. Deeply passionate about Celtic civilization in all its aspects\, he would conceptualize\, modernize\, and popularize its music. \nAs early as 1958\, he designed the first electric harps and began sketching a symphony (though he chose not to attend the Conservatoire). He made his first recordings—Musique gaélique and Telenn geltiek—and soon developed the idea of Celtic rock. A member of the Bleimor scouts\, he acquired the Breton language (passing the Trec’h kentañ exam)\, immersed himself in traditional music and dance\, and graduated from the College of Piping in Scotland. He led the Bleimor bagad to the title of Champion of Brittany in 1966 and twice more\, also winning duo championships at Gourin (1966\, 1968\, 1969). \nIn 1966\, he began singing publicly at the American Center in Paris\, Chez Michou in Quimper\, and in Italy—marking the true start of his professional career. In 1967\, he signed his first international contract with Philips-Fontana (now Universal). In 1968\, he was invited by the Moody Blues to perform at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. That same year\, he met Marie-José\, his lifelong companion. \nAfter releasing the single Brocéliande – Son ar chistr in July 1970 (a song widely covered worldwide)\, his album Reflets launched his conquest of a broader audience. A manifesto of musical fusion\, it anticipated what would later be called “world music.” His third album\, Renaissance de la harpe celtique (1971)\, inspired thousands of harpists worldwide and was nominated for a Grammy Award; it also received the Grand Prix Charles Cros (and in 2019\, the In Honorem award for his lifetime achievement). \nHis rock-Breton fusion piece Pop-Plinn\, followed by the legendary February 1972 concert and live album À l’Olympia (two million copies sold)\, sparked the “Stivell phenomenon\,” transforming Brittany’s image. From 1973 onward\, his international career expanded across Europe\, America\, and Australia\, performing in major venues and rock festivals. \nHe later produced his own records\, including Keltia III and Live à Dublin. Notable works followed: Trema’n Inis (dedicated to Breton poets)\, Before Landing\, Journée à la maison\, and his Symphonie celtique (1979–80)\, often performed at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient and prestigious venues such as London’s Royal Festival Hall and Dublin’s Olympia. \nThough uncomfortable with “star” status\, he continued to innovate throughout the 1980s and beyond. His album Harpes du Nouvel Âge received an Indie Award in the United States. In 1993\, Again (featuring Kate Bush) and its tour were a major success. He was awarded the Collar of the Order of the Ermine in 1994. \nHe continued collaborating internationally (Brian Boru\, 1 Douar with Youssou N’Dour\, Jim Kerr\, Paddy Moloney\, John Cale). In 2000\, an asteroid was named after him by Czech astronomer Miloš Tichý. \nThe 21st century brought anniversary releases (Au-delà des mots)\, books (Telenn\, la harpe bretonne)\, the avant-garde album Explore\, and Emerald (2009). He became honorary president of the Cultural Council of Brittany and was promoted to Commander of Arts and Letters in 2012. Later works include AMzer (2015)\, Human-Kelt (2018\, featuring Andrea Corr\, Francis Cabrel\, Bob Geldof\, Yann Tiersen\, and others)\, his autobiography Stivell par Alan\, and the symphonic live double album Liberté-Roazhon (2024). \nHis concerts—whether electro-world-rock\, symphonic (notably with the Orchestre National de Bretagne)\, or intimate performances in churches—reveal multiple artistic facets. Recent tours include Cœur & Âme / Kalon hag Ene and the Liberté Tour\, following the unveiling of a statue in his honor in Carhaix. \nThroughout his life\, Alan Stivell has been driven by curiosity\, innovation\, and cultural cross-fertilization\, while remaining deeply rooted in Breton and Celtic heritage. A pioneer of folk-rock\, ambient\, and especially world music (which he theorized as early as 1970)\, he has consistently advocated a global music that preserves human diversity. \nTo date\, he remains the only Breton artist whose entire body of work\, centered on Breton culture\, has achieved such significant international impact.

SUMMARY:The KerryMan
DESCRIPTION:Cait is an artist newly returned to Dublin\, determined to get her life back on track and prove to her mother that she’s not a total fuck-up.  Eoin\, a proud Kerryman\, is working in finance for his sins. He has very different plans- graft hard\, retire early\, and go home to run his parents’ farm in South Kerry. \nWhen they meet\, Cait knows one thing: Eoin is absolutely not her type. He’s obsessed with GAA (and his mother) and wouldn’t know an easel from his elbow. Meanwhile Eoin can’t decide if Cait is the woman of his dreams or an agent of chaos with notions. \nBut despite themselves\, they are pulled into a can’t eat\, can’t sleep\,  rollercoaster romance. The Kerryman is a story of two clashing hearts and minds. We don’t get to choose who we fall for – but it’s the choices we make afterwards that can turn our entire world upside down. \nA new play by Eva O’Connor for the Glass Mask Theatre Stage.

SUMMARY:Barns Courtney
DESCRIPTION:Barns Courtney has lived through more industry upheaval than most artists survive — A&Rs disappearing\, catalogs sold off\, years stuck in dead-end contracts — yet he’s still standing. Signed at 19\, reduced to sofa-surfing and odd jobs\, he clawed his way back when Bradley Cooper hand-picked his voice for Burnt\, just as his DIY single Glitter & Gold — recorded in an abandoned care home with filing cabinets for drums — quietly went platinum in the US. Since then\, multiple Top 10 alt-radio hits and a reputation for chaotic\, unmissable live shows have made him one of rock’s best-kept secrets. Now\, a decade on and finally free on indie label Avenue A\, Courtney isn’t making a comeback — he’s proving the music always connects\, even when the machine fails.

SUMMARY:Motion City Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:“Don’t Call It a Comeback” isn’t just the name of a song off Motion City Soundtrack’s 2003 debut I Am The Movie\, it’s also an apt way to summarise the band’s mission statement. During Motion City Soundtrack’s initial run from 1997 – 2016\, the Minneapolis-based group released six celebrated albums\, toured the world countless times and achieved gold status for their hit single “Everything Is Alright.” \nAfter taking a three year hiatus\, the band (vocalist/guitarist Justin Pierre\, guitarist Joshua Cain\, bassist Matt Taylor\, keyboardist Jesse Johnson and drummer Tony Thaxton) started performing live again in 2019\, but even the most optimistic fans didn’t necessarily expect a follow-up to 2015’s Panic Stations. \n“When we started conceptualising the idea for this record\, I was thinking about what we loved about doing this originally\,” Cain explains. \nThe result is The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World\, their latest album that sees the band transmuting the last decade of life experiences into the most catchy songs of their career.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Weatherday
DESCRIPTION:Hornet Disaster\, Weatherday’s 2025 release – follow-up to their 2019 debut Come in\, and spiritual successor to 2022’s collab release Weatherglow\, is their most expansive work to date. In Weatherday’s initial bout of inspired writing and recording\, they produced over 70 songs for the record\, but not before they had a complete\, overarching narrative that was coherently tied back to Sputnik’s previous work. \nWeatherday is now bringing this to life via a live tour stopping off in Dublin in May 2026.

SUMMARY:Sasha Velour: TRAVESTY
DESCRIPTION:Global drag icon\, Sasha Velour is bringing her newest one-queen drag spectacular Travesty to Europe\, including a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on 26th May 2026. \nTravesty will be the third touring production written and directed by Velour\, following Smoke & Mirrors (2019-2022) and The Big Reveal (2023-2025). \n\n\nTravesty traces the secret queer history of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a clown builds a theater; an underground gay bar rises up against the police. As Velour embodies different characters through a series of jaw-dropping lip-syncs spectacles\, she invites you to take part in the cycle of existence\, resistance\, and camp that IS drag. Part performance art\, part history\, part call to action\, Travesty will have you screaming at the top of your lungs\, dancing in the aisles\, and inspired to “change the muthaf*ckin’ world!” \nCelebrated for her influential visuals and her emotional live performances\, Velour is poised to take her art to the next level with Travesty. “Travesty is unlike any show I’ve created\,” Velour says. “It is the purest\, but also the most radical and experimental version of drag I’ve ever put on stage. No apologies or explanations\, just ART! Drag is for everyone\, because our message of freedom\, love\, and authenticity is universal. People have been doing ‘drag’—dressing up\, blurring gender\, and telling stories—since the dawn of time. With Travesty\, I wanted to honor those traditions\, while exploring where we can go next.”  \nThis show follows a string of successes for Velour. Since the release of her best-selling book The Big Reveal\, An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag (Harpers) in 2023 the “RuPaul’s Drag Race”-winner became a host on HBO’s “We’re Here”\, a judge on the world’s first televised Drag King competition\, “King of Drag” (Revry)\, hosted the official Drag Race tour\, “Werq the World” on three continents\, and brought a stage adaptation of her book “The Big Reveal” to such prestigious theaters as The London Palladium\, Folies Bergère\, Steppenwolf\, Berkeley Rep\, La MaMa\, and The Wallis. Her beloved NY-based drag revue “NightGowns” celebrated ten years of sold-out shows this past August and in 2025 alone\, raised over 50k for LGBTQIA+ mutual aid\, immigration\, and Gaza. \nTravesty reunites Velour with past collaborators at the top of their fields. Costuming will be from Emmy Award-winning Diego Montoya Studio as well as Andres Caballero\, Jazzmint Dash\, Pierretta Viktori\, and Gloria Swansong\, Sound design from Tony Award-nominated Palmer Hefferan\, and Scenic/Lighting/Projection design from Cosette “Ettie” Pin. The show and tour are produced by House of Velour\, Velour’s namesake production company. \nPraise for Sasha Velour: \n“One of the world’s finest drag entertainers” — Attitude Magazine \n“…redraws the boundaries of drag and theater”  — San Francisco Chronicle \n“…not only one of the best drag queens of her generation but also one of the definitive voices on the history and art of drag.” — LA Review of Books

SUMMARY:Marcos Valle
DESCRIPTION:“Bossa nova pioneer” Resident Advisor “Rio beach boogie legend” The Vinyl Factory \n“One of the most important and popular performers in the history of Brazilian pop” All Music \nFrom samba & bossa to psychedelic MPB & beach boogie\, Marcos Valle is one the most important composers\, arrangers\, writers and performers in Brazil’s history. There are not many artists in any era in recorded music history that can boast a career as stylistically varied as Marcos’ – let alone the fact he has maintained quality consistent throughout a storied six decade career. The renaissance man of Brazilian pop has worked with Leon Ware\, Sarah Vaughan\, and Chicago; seen his music sampled by Jay Z\, Kanye West\, Childish Gambino\, Madlib\, and Kaytranada; had his songs recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra\, Bebel Gilberto – even Emma Bunton of The Spice Girls once took on his classic ‘Os Grilos (The Crickets Sing For Anamaria)’. \nOne of the second-wave of early bossa nova composers\, following in the footsteps of João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim\, Valle rose to prominence in the early 60s following the release of his now world famous bossa nova standard ‘Samba de Verao (Summer Samba)’. Written with his brother and long-standing songwriting partner Paulo-Sergio as a tribute to the joys of life as a Rio surfer\, it’s up there with ‘The Girl From Ipanema’ as one of the most universally recognisable Brazilian songs. \nSeeking reinvention in the 1970s after the bossa nova sensation had died down\, Marcos developed a more refined\, jazzier\, and more psychedelic MPB sound which characterized a string of his finest and most sought after albums: Marcos Valle (1970)\, Garra (1971)\, Vento Sul (1972)\, and Previsao Do Tempo (1974). In the midst of these masterpieces he was writing and recording music for film and television (including Brazilian Sesame Street!): it was through this line of work he met the trio who would go on to be known as Azymuth\, naming themselves after one of Valle’s songs from the soundtrack to O Fabuloso Fittipaldi (1973) \nAs the 70s drew to a close Marcos started a hugely successful partnership with the renowned US producer and singer-songwriter Leon Ware\, together they wrote a string of US soul cult classics like ‘Rocking You Eternally’ and ‘Baby Don’t Stop Me’. Marcos would go on to record his own Brazilianised versions on Vontade De Rever Você (1981). Ware would then join forces once again with Marcos a couple of years later for what is one of his most enduring hits (partly thanks to today’s Youtube & Spotify algorithms!)\, the workout-boogie monster ‘Estrelar’. \nMoving into the 90s\, Valle became somewhat disenfranchised with the Brazilian music market and stepped away to focus again on composing for film & TV. But over in the UK and Europe a newfound cult status was brewing thanks to flourishing music subcultures like acid-jazz\, jazz-dance\, and rare groove\, along with crate- digger culture that unified these inter-connected scenes. After meeting Far Out Recordings’ Joe Davis at London’s Jazz Cafe while on tour in 1995\, the pair hit it off and started what became a near 25 year (and counting) partnership\, beginning with the release of Nova Bossa Nova in 1998. Celebrating his 80th Birthday year\, Marcos Valle returns to Europe in 2023 coincide with a celebratory 20th anniversary reissue of his long out-of -print 2003 modern classic Contrasts\, home to the aptly titled ‘Parabens’\, which translating directly as “Congratulations” is what Brazilins say to wish someone a happy birthday.

SUMMARY:The Good Luck Club
DESCRIPTION:ANU Productions and The National Archives of Ireland are proud to announce The Good Luck Club\, a new off site theatre production marking the centenary of Ireland’s 1926 Census. Commissioned as part of the National Archives’ year-long commemorative programme to mark the release of the 1926 Census records\, this intimate and immersive experience will be staged within the historic National Archives building on Bishop Street from 27th May 2026 to 14th June 2026 – the first time a theatrical production has ever been mounted in the historical building. \nWritten and directed by Louise Lowe\, with design and scenography by Owen Boss\, The Good Luck Club is a commission by the National Archives and is created specifically for the landmark institution. The production invites audiences to step inside the living fabric of Ireland’s past\, moving through the building in small groups\, exploring rarely accessed spaces and encountering a series of vivid\, human stories drawn from archival records. Blending performance\, participation and historical testimony\, the production illuminates the social landscape of Ireland in 1926 – a nation finding its footing in the early years of independence. \nThe production features an ensemble cast including Ghaliah Conroy\, John Cronin\, Libby Conway Dunne\, Maeve Fitzgerald\, Oliver Flitcroft\, Jack Hassett\, Pattie Maguire\, Ciara Molloy and Jamie O’Neill. \nTaking direct inspiration from the Irish Hospitals’ Sweepstake – the hugely popular lottery initiative that captured the public’s imagination in the early 20th century – The Good Luck Club examines themes of chance\, aspiration and survival\, stepping inside the gilded machinery of the infamous Sweepstakes\, where the desperate hope meets the calculations of the new post war Ireland. Through personal stories unearthed from the census and historical records\, the production will meaningfully excavate early 20th Century Ireland and how a country was built on a ticket and a prayer.

SUMMARY:KASSI VALAZZA
DESCRIPTION:Kassi Valazza crafts songs that glow softly\, like streetlights in the fog – lush\, lyrical Americana steeped in solitude and self-discovery. Her most recent album\, From Newman Street (May 2025\, Fluff & Gravy / Loose Music)\, unfolds like a millennial companion to Joni Mitchell’s Hejira\, tracing internal and external landscapes with sharp wit and quiet grace. Written between Portland and her home in New Orleans\, and recorded with Matt Thomson at Echo Echo Studios\, the album marks both a homecoming and a departure\, a reflection on change\, restlessness\, and growth. Rooted in the rustic romance of the Southwest and the restless realism of the Pacific Northwest\, Valazza’s music hums with movement and reflection. These meditative\, soul-stirring songs invite listeners into a world where uncertainty becomes its own kind of peace.

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.
