A selection of some of the country's top live music venues.
Another of Dublin’s most beloved venues, over the years Vicar Street has hosted an eclectic array of top–notch acts, including Kendrick Lamar, Slash, Girl Band, Slint, Sonic Youth, Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions, Panda Bear, John Carpenter and many more. As lauded as ever – it scooped the Hot Press Live Venue of the Year gong at the 2018 IMRO Awards – Vicar Street is also a hugely popular comedy venue, with the likes of Dara O Briain, Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran and Stewart Lee among those to have turned in memorable performances. There’s another raft of excellent shows on the way in 2019, with highlights including The Blindboy Podcast, Finbar Furey and Sharon Van Etten.
