The best of the live music gigs across Ireland this week.
Who: Sepultura
When: Monday, August 10th
Where: Academy, Dublin
Grand masters of all things metal, the Brazilians, Sepultura are back in Ireland for a show in the Academy. Sepultura is the Portuguese word for ‘Grave’ so this tells you a lot about the kind of music you can expect.
There’ll be no heart-felt ballads accompanied with obligatory fist pumping here. No, it’ll be loud, very loud. Go and see Sepultura on their 30th anniversary tour.
Who: David Kitt
When: Thursday, August 13th
Where: Roisin Dubh, Galway
Dublin singer/songwriter David Kitt makes a rare enough appearance with this live show in the wonderful Roisin Dubh this Thursday.
Last year he supported David Gray on both his UK and US tours. Always a treat to see performing live, this gig could be pretty special.
Who: Christy Moore
When: Friday, August 14th
Where: Palace Theatre, Fermoy, Cork
The live performances of Christy Moore are the stuff of legend and he brings his amazing live show to Cork this Friday night for a performance at the Palace Theatre.
He’s also there on the Saturday night.
Who: Rudimental
When: Saturday, August 15th
Where: Custom House Square, Belfast
Part of the annual Belsonic music festival in Belfast, kings of drum’n’bass, Rudimental return to these shores for what promises to be a scintillating gig.
Their second studio album, We the Generation is scheduled for release in September and is a keenly anticipated follow up to their brilliant debut album, Home.
Who: Eli & Fur
When: Saturday, August 15th
Where: The Button Factory, Dublin
DJ/Producer double-act Eli & Fur come to Dublin to show why they are being hyped as a pair to watch in the next year.
