This week is a very good week for live music but having said that the decision for this week’s Gig of the Week is glaringly obvious. That’s right, if you weren’t aware Fleetwood Mac are in town on Friday and Saturday night. The storied rockers bring their 2013 World Tour to Dublin for two nights only and there is an air of giddy excitement surrounding those lucky enough to have tickets, as both concerts sold out within minutes. Concert goers will be in for a treat as the current Fleetwood Mac lineup includes original members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined in 1975. If you haven’t gotten your mitts on tickets there’s lots more happening throughout the week.
Another reformed multi line up band are in town this week, Scottish band Deacon Blue play The Olympia Theatre this evening and The Waterfront Hall Auditorium in Belfast on Thursday. Tickets are still available from €39.05.
Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters brings The Wall tour to the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday. Tickets are still available from €69.5 – €109.5.
Following the release of their excellent debut album, those Cavan teens The Strypes, have unsurprisingly gone and sold out The Academy. Support comes from Raglans and this is just another example of the current bustling Irish music scene.
If you haven’t been down to Granby Park yet, make sure to head over on Saturday for a free afternoon Gig in the Granby Pop-up park. Youcan expect musical treats from tieranniesaur, Lethal Dialect, Idiot Songs: Justin Grounds and Pearse McLoughlin, Charmers and Liza Flume. Sure what else would you be doing on a Saturday afternoon?
Another reformed band, another sell out. The Magic Numbers are back touring, they’ll play to a jam packed Pepper Canister Church on Saturday and Dolans Warehouse in Limerick on Sunday.
