Many of the world’s most renowned entertainers constantly appear in Dublin and you may find a favourite is performing very nearby – we cannot guarantee tickets will always be available but it’s always worth enquiring:
National Concert Hall
Located at the end of Leeson Street on Earlsfort Terrace, the National Concert Hall hosts many of the world’s foremost classical instrumentalists, singers and orchestras. Beyond the classical world, renowned folk performers and other soloists and groups highlight how the NCH showcases all genres of high-quality music.
Sugar Club
Just 300 metres from Number 31, the Sugar Club on Lower Leeson Street is an eclectic and off-beat venue. It hosts everything from live music, theatre productions and movie screenings to live podcasts, science shows and many other specialised events.
Iveagh Gardens
More secluded than the better-known St Stephen’s Green, the beautiful Iveagh Gardens occasionally hosts musical and other performances featuring some of today’s most popular artists.
Gaiety Theatre
Generations of Irish children have associated the plush and ornate Gaiety Theatre with the annual Christmas pantomime. Beyond this, the much-loved Gaiety has welcomed many of the world’s most celebrated actors and singers over the past 150 years - it was even the venue for the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest!
Whelans
For over 25 years, Whelans on Wexford Street has showcased emerging and established musical and comedy artists from Ireland and across the world. Its intimate proportions let performers make a direct and very individual connection with audiences.
3Olympia Theatre
One of Dublin’s longest-established city centre venues, the Victorian 3Olympia Theatre hosts world-famous bands, solo musicians and comedians plus plays, pantos and many other must-see events.
3Arena
Dublin’s biggest venue where performers including Ed Sheeran, Adele, Mariah Carey and countless others have performed, can be easily reached by taking the Luas at St Stephen’s Green and changing at Abbey Street.
Bord Gáis Energy Theatre
Designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the striking and spacious Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is Dublin’s premier venue for West End musicals, ballet, opera, drama, comedy and other popular shows.
Besides these, many other exciting and innovative venues can be easily reached on foot, by taxi or public transport. These include the Workman’s Club on Wellington Quay, Abbey Street’s Academy and of course the many pubs and clubs in Temple Bar which host live music nightly.
