SUMMARY:Common Ground @ EPIC
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland’s membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially\, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe\, telling stories of migration\, opportunity\, equality\, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories. \n  \n\n\nIreland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1\, 1973\, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe\, with a population just over half of its current size. \nIreland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence\, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights\, for example\, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe\, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland. \nAs Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026\, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe\, and how Europe\, in turn\, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland. \nFeatured Stories:\nEqual Pay \nStudying Abroad \nAn Ghaeilge \nEntry to this exhibition is included in general admission tickets.

SUMMARY:ANIMALS
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:Ruel
DESCRIPTION:Following the massive release of “Don’t Say That”\, “Hate Myself” marks a triumphant second singleahead of the next chapter in his double-album project\, following Kicking My Feet(Part One)\, the forthcoming Part Two arrives as Kicking My Feet & Screaming. The new song gives fans a glimpse into a new\, uncharted side of Ruel while still tapping into the vulnerability that he’s known for. At its core\, the track explores what it feels like to be stuck in a toxic\, self-destructive relationship\, knowing it’s hurting you\, but not being able to walk away. \nRuel recalls how the track came about-I wrote this one on theday I met Kenny and Jackson\, and whenyou meet someone for the first time\, you sort of try to focus on getting to know one another. After 5-6hours in the studio\, we had basically nothing but then Kenny threw a bit of a hail Mary\, the three of us mixed ideas around\, and next thing we knew we had the whole song in about 30 mins. Since then\, every session I’ve had with Kenny has flowed so well and the two of us wrote a good chunk of the album Part2 together! \nCo-written by industry moguls Kenny Beats(Dominic Fike\, Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf) and Jackson Morgan\, (Justin Bieber\, Macklemore)\, “Hate Myself” captures what it feels like to love someone who isbad for you and choosing to stay until you start resenting yourself more than them. \nRuel just wrapped the second-leg of his 2026 North American Kicking My Feet Tour\, where he wassupported by UK-born singer-songwriter Arthur Hill\, emerging soul-pop singer Chelsea Jordan and rising San-Francisco native Mercer Henderson. Earlier this year\, he also toured in South America on the Lollapalooza festival circuit in Chile\, Argentina\, and Brazil\, and the Estero Picnic Festivalin Colombia. \nTo celebrate his double-album era\, the pop sensation has also announced he’ll be hitting the road again this fall for the Kicking & Screaming Tour\, heading across the UK and Europe from October 1\, 2026 through October 30\, 2026\, with support from singer-songwriter Sadie Jean. Artist presale beginsTuesday\, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time\, followed by general on-sale Thursday\, April 30 at 10 a.m. localtime.Full tour routing is below. \nKicking & Screaminggot off to a strong start last month with ‘Don’t Say That\,’ and willbring fans 10 new tracks as Ruel builds on his Kicking My Feet journey. All-star collaborators that teamed up to create the highly-anticipated project include Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter\, One Direction\, Teddy Swims)\, John Ryan (Olivia Dean\, Harry Styles\, Shawn Mendes)\, Kenny Beats (Dominic Fike\,Vince Staples\, Remi Wolf)\, M-Phazes (Demi Lovato\, Eminem\, Noah Cyrus)\, Dan Wilson (Taylor Swift\, Niall Horan\, Adele) & Leroy Clampit (Lily Allen\, Justin Bieber\, Finneas).

SUMMARY:Alice Costelloe
DESCRIPTION:London based Alice Costelloe – formerly of critically acclaimed shoegaze duo Big Deal (Mute Records) and previously live bassist for Superfood – independently released her debut solo EP ‘ So Neurotic’ (under the name Al Costelloe) in September 2023. In 2024 she signed to cult UK label Moshi Moshi Records and released her second EP ‘When It’s The Time’ – working with producer Mike Lindsay (Lump\, Tunng). Her debut album ‘Move On With The Year’\, released February 2026\, is a break-away record consisting of 10 tracks of beguiling art-pop built on selftrust\, instinct\, and a necessary process of creative detangling. Produced by Mike Lindsay in his Margate studio\, the album rejects the indie-rock lineage Alice came up in\, trading guitar solos for mellotron\, taishogoto and flute lines recorded mid-lesson\, trusting imperfection as the truest form of expression. \nBeneath that sound is a harder story: the weight of a complicated parental relationship and the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. At its heart\, this is a companion album to growing up again – not about one heartbreak\, but about reshaping your entire emotional framework and identity in order to step into the next chapter of life.
