One of the most revered venues in the capital, over the years the Olympia has hosted the iconic likes of – deep breath! – James Brown, David Bowie, Radiohead, Blur, PJ Harvey, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Pixies, Queens Of The Stone Age and much, much more. Among the standout moments in 2018, meanwhile, were Hozier’s intimate string of shows in December, and Sigrid’s stunning performance. A wonderfully atmospheric room with impeccable sound, the Olympia is also a second home for some of Ireland’s top artists, with the likes of Picture This, Bell X1 and The Coronas regularly turning in superb performances. The Olympia’s sister venue, The Academy, has also become a major hub for emerging artists and international talent in recent years, with the likes of Maggie Rogers gaining acclaim for her performances there this month.
