‘Tis the season to be merry.

Budweiser are giving you the chance to win your #DreamChristmas and to celebrate, we’ve put together a list of gigs that would make anyone’s Christmas even more magical.
El Vy – Vicar Street – December 13
Fans of The National are begging and pleading for a new album, but for the time being they’ll have to make do with lead singer Matt Berninger’s side project El Vy. Not to worry, they’re pretty darn brilliant.

Ash – Olympia Theatre – December 15
Ash bring their barnstorming show to the Olympia in mid-December. Musical legends isn’t a term that should be thrown around lightly, but Ash certainly fit the bill.
Their album 1977 is up there with the best Irish albums of all time.

Glen Hansard – Vicar Street – December 20/21
It wouldn’t be Christmas time without the Frames’ front-man entertaining Dubliners. Oscar winner Hansard is in the familiar surroundings of Vicar Street and it’s sure to be a gig to remember.

2fm XMAS Ball in Aid of ISPCC – Hozier / Little Green Cars / Gavin James / Riptide Movement / Ryan Sheridan / Hudson Taylor – 3 Arena – December 23
What better way to spend the eve of Christmas Eve than in the 3 Arena experiencing some of the finest Irish artists around. Hozier is headlining, but get there early as the whole line-up is wonderful.

These Charming Men – Opium Rooms – December 27
These Charming Men are renowned as one of the best tribute acts out there and if you’re a fan of The Smiths this may be the closest you ever get to seeing Morrissey et al live.
