As part of our Venues Special, we’re saluting the Irish stages – in massive arenas, intimate pubs and everywhere in between – that play a vital role in bringing live music to the masses. Next up is the Set Theatre...

Since opening its doors in 2009, the Set Theatre has firmly established itself as a brilliant, state-of-the-art venue, located on the bustling John Street in the heart of Kilkenny City.
A beautiful building – one of only two David Collins-designed spaces in Ireland – it regularly hosts music, films and comedy, and gets thoroughly involved in town affairs during festival season. The organisers also put on shows in the nearby St Canice’s Cathedral.
