SUMMARY:Jack Van Cleaf & Clover County
DESCRIPTION:Jack Van Cleaf was still an independent artist when “Rattlesnake” became a viral hit in 2023\, earning praise from songwriters like Noah Kahan (who hand-picked Jack as the opening act on his sold-out Stick Season Tour) and Zach Bryan (who began covering thesong online). For Jack\, it felt like a pivotal moment in a career that had been building since his teenage years. \nJack Van Cleaf now makes his Dualtone Records debut with the sophomore release JVC\, an album that does more than plant its flag halfway between the worlds of indie rock and Gen Z folk. It also asks big questions about home and identity. Years after penning his first song as a high school freshman in San Diego\, he headed east to Nashville\, where he studied songwriting at Belmont University and released his debut album\, Fruit from the Trees\, after graduation. “I met many of my closest friends during my very first week at Belmont\,” says Jack about his formative years in Music City. “All talented artists in their own right\, they went on to help me make my first record everything that it is\, and have remained my most trusted collaborators to this day.” “Rattlesnake\,” with its introspective lyrics and a tmospheric acoustics\, earned him a spot on Spotify’s 2024 Best New Artist list with tastemaker playlist “juniper”. \nWith JVC\, Jack Van Cleaf turns personal experience into something universal: a soundtrack to the year s we all spend in existential free-fall\, trying to find a new sense of gravity after the rules and regulations of youth have faded into the past. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Twilight Sad
DESCRIPTION:“If the world was a better place they would be playing to more people\, and I think they can.” – Robert Smith\, The Cure \nTHE TWILIGHT SAD announce their long-awaited sixth album IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE due out 27th March via Rock Actions Records  \nTHE TWILIGHT SAD today announce their long-awaited sixth album IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE due out 27th March via Rock Actions Records and available to preorder here. Following the album’s lead track “Waiting For The Phone Call”\, released last October\, today the band share the equally epic new single “DESIGNED TO LOSE”. The second track on the album is a beautifully meditative yet muscular reflection on the human condition\, hinged on how we can seem doomed to lose in so many of our endeavours – including our capacity to cope with loss. \nTHE TWILIGHT SAD – DESIGNED TO LOSE \n“It had to contain every element of emotion I was feeling\,” says singer/lyricist James Graham of THE TWILIGHT SAD’s deeply resonant sixth album. On their first record in seven years\, Scotland’s post-punk outfit return with a story to share: a cogent story of loss and personal crisis\, rooted in specific experience yet mounted with a palpable emotional power that feels universal. Set to urgent and guitar-rich arrangements from bandmate Andy MacFarlane\, IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE reflects on James’s mother’s illness\, her subsequent death and his own mental health struggles\, exploring profound human vulnerability with tenderness and tempestuous force. \nThe result is the most personal yet relatable album to date from a band whose portraits of bruised humanity have forged close ties with their audience. As James says\, “In the past I’ve used a lot of metaphors within my lyrics. With this\, there’s not as much. The record is heavily influenced by my mental health\, grief and loss\, and the need to be strong in positions where you’re not feeling it. It’s a very human story\, I think – this is just my version of it. I feel that everybody goes through something like this. Everybody loses somebody. Everybody questions life.” \nBack in 2016\, James and Andy returned from the “pinch yourself” high of a tour with The Cure to find that James’s mother had been diagnosed with early onset frontotemporal dementia. Roughly 80 per cent of the record was written as James wrestled with the contrast between the joys in his life – marriage\, parenthood – and the cruelty of his mother’s decline. In November 2023\, another tour with The Cure was brought to a necessary halt as his mental health deteriorated. “And then my mum passed away in the January afterwards\,” says James. \nThe record was developed over seven years\, with the London-based MacFarlane stockpiling musical ideas during lockdown while exchanging words and sounds with Graham. The Cure’s Robert Smith\, by now a longtime close friend of the band\, provided invaluable input on the demos and guested on the record\, supplying extra guitars on ‘WAITING FOR THE PHONE CALL’\, guitars/“Tron keys” on ‘DEAD FLOWERS’ and six-string bass on ‘BACK TO FOURTEEN’. “Then we had to piece together a band\,” says Andy\, with THE TWILIGHT SAD now centred on him and James after former bandmates were drawn away by life commitments. Sometime Arab Strap player David Jeans and Mogwai live team-member Alex Mackay play drums and bass respectively\, while the album was produced by MacFarlane at Willesden’s Battery Studios – a location rich in cherished Cure history\, notably – with additional production from Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine) and mixing by Chris Coady (Slowdive). \nThe result is a pinnacle for THE TWILIGHT SAD in a career of tremendous integrity and artistry\, and a record that honours the band’s ability to turn lived experience into fully felt music. “To know that I’m saying things that connect with other people\, that’s such a powerful thing\,” says James. “I want to be a relatable person that talks about things that can happen and give an opportunity for people to go\, well\, you’re not alone. I want people to be able to listen to this record and hear that it comes from a place of raw emotion. The album is an opportunity to share my experience and move forward with my life.” \nThe Twilight Sad will be on tour in the UK and Europe in April and May including a performance at the Roundhouse in London. The band also recently announced news of a second Glasgow Barrowland show in early May. This will be followed by a handful of dates performing as special guests to The Cure in June and July.

After signing with Secret Road Music Publishing at 17\, he quickly gained traction with early placements like “Up\, Up & Away” in the film Five Feet Apart and later earned a Grammy nomination for co-writing John Legend’s song “Conversations in the Dark.” Peña has since released three EPs\, numerous singles\, and his 2024 debut album Ever-Shifting\, Continual Blossoming\, amassing over a billion Spotify streams to date and selling out tours across the US\, UK\, and Europe.

The 14-track album is a soul-searching collection written in a remote California cabin\, steeped in the immersive indie-folk that’s made him one of the most magnetic voices to emerge in recent years. He is currently on the road supporting Tom Odell in Europe/UK and just wrapped a tour with one of his earliest influences\, The Lumineers\, on their 20-date Automatic World Tour. “It’s been so cool to watch the music connect with people live\, and to hear them sing with me\,” he says. “I like to say music is a remedy for reality\, because no matter what you’re going through — whether it’s happy or sad\, good or bad — you’re not alone in that.”

SUMMARY:Maddox Batson
DESCRIPTION:Billboard’s youngest male artist to appear on 21 Under 21\, Maddox Batson\, announces his 46-show world tour; The Maddox Batson Live Worldwide Tour 2026. \nThe EU leg of the tour opens in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Tuesday 12th May 2026. \n\n\n“A lot of people might not remember I got my start on TikTok Live\, so this tour name is a nod to those early days\,” Batson shares. “We love bringing our live shows to fans – it’s crazy to me that it now means we’re playing around the world. What a blessing to share this journey and new music with y’all!” \nBatson recently wrapped his 29-city I Need A Truck Tour along with supporting Lainey Wilson’s Whirlwind Tour on select dates. \nHailed as “A young star\, new on the country charts already striking a chord and hitting all the right notes” by NBC Nightly News\, Batson recently released the upbeat\, sentimental track “Coincidence” in September via Prosper Entertainment / Warner Records. \nThe 15-year-old also released “No More\,” a powerful track that taps into heartbreak and healing with a combination of grit\, vulnerability and raw emotional delivery. Fueled by a hook-heavy chorus and defiant lyrics\, “No More” highlights Batson’s continued evolution as both a songwriter and performer. \nForbes praises Batson’s stage presence\, stating “It’s not only his lyrics and relatable subject matter that’s captured the hearts of young fans\, it’s his engaging\, high-energy personality that shines through every live performance\, music video\, and interaction with everyone he meets.” \nFollowing a breakout year that included his Grand Ole Opry debut and a high-profile appearance at Stagecoach\, Maddox Batson continues to raise the bar for his young professional career. \nAbout Maddox Batson:\nMaddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the Nashville-born\, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety covering songs from Zach Bryan\, Red Clay Strays and more\, he started to write his own songs. Thanks to early singles like “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know\,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at covering country hits\, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts – a practice he saw first-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash hit collaboration\, “Tough.” \nWith the arrival of his deluxe EP First Dance (The After Party) in May\, Maddox Batson was ready to show the world you’re never too young to be the face of music. Most recently\, Batson wrapped his 29-city I Need A Truck Tour and released new track “Coincidence.” Batson also made his debut appearance at Stagecoach Music Festival in 2025. Life is moving fast for the multi-instrumentalist (piano\, guitar & mandolin) and he’s trying his best to remain a kid while becoming next up in country-pop music. “It can be overwhelming\, this life\, but I’ve got a lot of good people surrounding me\,” he explains. “I’m still just a kid\, though\, and I’m happy about that.”

SUMMARY:Clinton Kane
DESCRIPTION:Clinton Kane creates out of necessity. The act of creation itself unpacks his unfiltered feelings and innermost thoughts\, leaving truth threaded into the DNA of his ever-evolving sound. Such unapologetic honesty has not only humanized his artistry\, but it’s also elevated him as a Platinum-certified phenomenon on his own terms. He’s captivated a rapt audience by unapologetically speaking his mind and heart\, while constantly tinkering with his sound. You can practically hear him changing out loud and in real-time via his music. \nAs a kid\, he bounced around a lot—from Perth\, Australia to The UK (and various places in the middle). It’s no surprise he continued this journey alone during his teenage years. He backpacked in exotic locales a la Santorini\, yet he engaged likeminded souls by sharing music online and attracting a following. \nDuring 2022\, he served up the full-length ‘MAYBE SOMEDAY IT’LL ALL BE OK’ followed by the ‘AND ALL I LOVED\, I LOVED ALONE’ EP a year later. He gathered streams in the billions fueled by staples such as the Platinum-certified “I GUESS I’M IN LOVE” and Gold-certified “CHICKEN TENDIES\,” among many others. He also received acclaim from Billboard\, coup de main\, Forbes\, GRAMMY.com\, and NME. He canvased multiple continents on tour and graced the stages of Lollapalooza\, Life Is Beautiful\, Outside Lands\, and more. \nTurning the page on his next creative chapter\, he left the major label system in the rearview and went independent. On a series of 2025 singles and his independent 2026 mixtape\, “4530 S Hualapai Way”\, the singer\, producer\, and multi-instrumentalist still writes songs and performs like his life depends on it\, because it does.

SUMMARY:JACK CULLEN
DESCRIPTION:Jack Cullen’s journey from rugby professional to touring musician has been anything but ordinary. A natural storyteller\, his music captures the highs and lows of a life lived in motion. In May 2024\, Cullen independently released his debut EP 12 – a meaningful piece of work that embodied his determination to turn a tough moment into something more. \nWhilst running an epic 12 marathons in 12 days to raise funds for cancer research\, Cullen was overwhelmed by the sudden outpouring of love from the community he’d built for years. It’s this feeling that inspired his next heartfelt single: “All I Need”. \nThe single release kicked off another bold chapter for the young adventurer: a 650-mile plus cycle from Edinburgh to the biggest festival in the world\, Glastonbury\, for his debut performance. Along the way\, Cullen stopped to serenade fans in cold baths\, yoga studios\, run clubs and more. The gruelling journey resulted in a (sweaty) packed out tent full of tears\, hugs and the nation’s awaiting media. \nFollowing his biggest escapade yet\, Cullen launched a 6-date Cornish tour\, collaborated with NATURE for an extra special “All I Need” re-recording and released his brand-new EP Everything. October 2025 saw Jack Cullen’s two sold-out shows at London’s historic St. Pancras Church before embarking on a monumental Europe and UK support tour with new found friends\, Kingfishr. \nWith his 2026 headline tour on the horizon\, Jack Cullen is looking forward to new music and more antics this year as he establishes himself as a successful touring musician.

SUMMARY:ARREN
DESCRIPTION:Following last year’s capacity-crowd sell-out\, Limerick-born\, Dublin-based artist ARREN returns to the capital for a night where the songs do all the heavy lifting. \nWe aren’t doing the “quiet acoustic” thing. This is a high-energy\, song-first showcase. To celebrate the launch of his new single\, “Thinking About July\,” ARREN is ditching the studio’s massive production to prove that these tracks are just as anthemic when they’re standing on their own two feet. \nSwitching between a digital piano and acoustic guitar\, this is a 60-minute dive into a catalog built on big hooks\, sharp lyrics\, and a few stories that ARREN probably shouldn’t tell in public. From the bittersweet warmth of “Rising Sun” to an exclusive first look at his brand-new tune ‘Thinking About July’\, the plan is simple: great tunes and good people. \nCome for the tunes\, stay for the vibes (and because it’s a Tuesday\, what else are you doing?) \nIndustry Praise: \n“Captures a universal sentiment with a fresh\, engaging sound” – McGig Music\n“Combines vintage sounds with modern-day execution” – The Other Side Reviews \nTickets are strictly limited for this return headline performance. Early booking is advised.

SUMMARY:SPAFFORD CAMPBELL
DESCRIPTION:Spafford Campbell are twenty-something mould-breakers\, fiddle player Owen Spafford and guitarist Louis Campbell. The two first met as teenagers playing traditional music. The connection\, they say\, was immediate. The duo Spafford Campbell began playing live in 2018\, prompting double takes with their delicacy\, dynamism and seemingly telepathic exchanges\, with the startling intimacy of musical conversations nurtured in improv-led writing sessions. \nTheir latest album Tomorrow Held is a visionary body of eight largely instrumental tracks that hold space\, resolve into mystery\, that fold in elements of jazz\, post-rock and chamber classical music while raiding the folk music toolbox. Call it what you want: post-folk. Trad-noir. Folk nihilism. Then know that Spafford Campbell are blazing a trail that erases genre—and finds gold in the embers. While redolent of Talk Talk’s moody\, experimental 1988 opus Spirit of Eden\, and riven with a Bon Iver-ish sense of transcendence\, Tomorrow Held is a work of bold singularity. A whole greater than the sum of its parts—parts that include effects pedals\, ambient cassette loops\, flashes of electric guitar\, electronic processing on fiddle and impressionistic accompaniment. \n“Mingling traditional tunes with influences from minimalism\, post-rock and jazz\, they shift moods exquisitely.” The Guardian – 10 best folk albums of 2025 \n“This is a fusing of the traditional and the futuristic that is quietly groundbreaking\, and beguiling with it.” ★★★★ The Times — albums of the year so far 2025 \n“An intense\, almost subliminal drama you want to turn up to 11.” ★★★★★ The Arts Desk — Album of the Year 2025 \n“England’s finest and most innovative instrumental duo.” ★★★★★ Songlines — Top of the World \n“Their ever-shifting time-lapse textures evoke a strangely unsettling beauty.” MOJO \nNPR Music — Best albums of the Week \nFolk Album of the Year Award 2025 Nominee

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:Soft God
DESCRIPTION:An empty stage. A painted cloth. Chaos. Dream. Abyss. \nEmma Martin returns to DDF with Soft God\, a new work commissioned by DDF and the Abbey Theatre which makes its world premiere as part of the 2026 Edition. \nSoft God is a jagged ceremony that swerves between the mythic and the ridiculous\, the carnivalesque and the everyday\, between virtuosity and failure. Moving through a series of ever-changing scenes – a rambling house\, a dance hall\, a creation myth\, a dream sequence and a never-ending folk dance – 8 performers cry\, kiss\, sing\, sway\, listen\, stamp\, hold hands and dance\, insisting on ways to keep hope\, meaning and spirit alive. \nAgainst a backdrop of crumbling certainties\, Soft God mines the collective imagination of this brutal moment\, where to dream together and share one’s self is an act of defiance. \nMongrel. Messy. Superstitious. Uncouth.
