Little John Nee’s Zeitgeist Jukebox is an immersive theatre experience, co-presented by First Fortnight.

Zeitgeist Jukebox commences its run during First Fortnight’s 2025 festival edition, playing four locations across the country.

The show tells the story of a group of people who meet up at an old warehouse in response to a notice on a lamppost. They see an invitation to join the oddest band that ever was in the making of the greatest album of the twenty-first century.

Through Zeitgeist Jukebox’s storytelling, viewers can regard a soulful antidote to the disconnection of our times, and a testament to music’s healing properties.

The show was written by Little John Nee, an award-winning performer based in the west of Ireland. His 2024 show Nettle Horse toured extensively, including performances at the Irish Cultural Centre London.

You can purchase tickets for Zeitgeist Jukebox here. Tickets should be bought in advance.
