The king of modern jazz Kamasi Washington is returning to Ireland for a performance in the Olympia Theatre next March.

The tenor saxophonist and his 10-piece band, The Next Step, have quickly become the torch-bearers for progressive, improvisational music going on to collaborate with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, John Legend, Run the Jewels, Ibeyi and creating “Harmony of Difference,” a stand-alone multimedia installation during the prestigious 2017 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

Kamasi Washington at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin March 3rd 2019. Tickets from €40 including booking fee go on sale this Friday at 9am.
