Harry Styles to headline Slane Castle in 2023

Dave Hanratty

Harry Styles Slane

A huge headliner for one of the biggest names in music.

Harry Styles, man of the hour, is having a major moment right now, given the sheer supernova level of his fame and the numbers he racks up on streaming services.

The man is a superstar, and a superstar needs the biggest of gigs, right? He’s a very in-demand live draw in Ireland, having sold out the Aviva Stadium recently, something he easily could have done twice over.

And so it’s no major shock but still very interesting to learn that Styles will headline Ireland’s fabled Slane Castle on Saturday 10 June, 2023.

Tickets for the Slane Castle gig are priced from €97.10 inclusive of booking fee and will go on sale to the public on Friday, 2 September at 10am via Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.

Support on the day will come from Dublin’s own Inhaler and rising UK hipster outfit Wet Leg.

Mark it down – this will be one of the biggest gigs in Ireland in all of 2023.

It really has been quite the week for Mr Styles. First, he did an interview in which he made a rash generalisation of the depiction of gay sex in cinema, claiming that his upcoming film My Policeman will be a tender and loving affair where other such projects have failed, apparently.

Then, this clip from the forthcoming, drama-fuelled Don’t Worry Darling did the rounds…

And people were not kind about Styles’ acting chops, to say the least.

Still, the only thing worse than being talked about, and all that…
