JOE’s 5 go-to gigs in Ireland this week (Apr 25 – May 1)

The very best live music gigs around Ireland this week.

Who: An Evening with Mark Lanegan Date: April 26 and 27 Where: The Academy, Dublin Mark Lanegan is an American rock musician who has collaborated in the past with Kurt Cobain, Belle & Sebastien, Queens of the Stone Age and even Moby. He's in Dublin for a night at the Academy and you should probably go along. https://youtu.be/I08UAqxEyP4 Clip via jeffscott Who: 5 Seconds Of Summer Date: April 27 Where: 3Arena, Dublin They cracked Youtube and then became a band. 5 Seconds Of Summer hail from Australia and are described as a punk pop band. They've enjoyed massive success over a relatively short space of time and their legions of Irish fans will be delighted to see them at the 3Arena. https://youtu.be/K0X7u_mmREE Clip via 5SOSVEVO Who: Lake Street Dive Date: April 28 Where: Whelan's, Dublin This band from Boston are hard to pigeon-hole. One of those very talented multi-genre bands who are equally as adept at banging out an indie sounding tune as they are with a jazz tune. Check out this tune, it's a belter. https://youtu.be/OMEPgLxvNPk Clip via Lake Street Dive Who: Anderson Date: April 30 Where: Roisin Dubh, Galway No it's not the rotund Brazilian footballer who stole a living at Manchester United, but the Dublin lad came to our attention a while back by selling his music door-to-door. He's a precocious talent and this will be a lovely gig in the Roisin. https://youtu.be/pO9SkpcCjgc Clip via Anderson andersonsongs Who: The Coronas Date: April 30 Where: King John's Castle, Limerick The Coronas come to Limerick and the very fancy surroundings of King John's Castle this Saturday night and you just know, if you're a fan, that this will be a very special gig. https://youtu.be/ULhVo9AajIQ Clip via thecoronasrock
