Sun Kill Moon will return to Ireland for a fully seated performance live in Dublin’s Liberty Hall Theatre this May.

Mark Kozelek will perform songs from his extensive back catalogue and numerous collaborations in the intimate surrounds of Liberty Hall.

His 2019 effort ‘I Want To Die In New Orleans’ was a 90-minute free jazz look at the decay of the American dream.

Tonight is surely the first time over its illustrious tenure that a performer has equated the National Concert Hall with something akin to House of 1000 Corpses (“nobody talks, nobody responds”). Mark Kozelek isn’t one to kow-tow to sacred cows, nor is he one to shy away from speaking what’s on his mind. Aside from releasing one of 2014’s most astonishing albums in ‘Benji’, his path has been fraught with controversy – an enduring, comical and highly publicised feud with Philly rockers The War On Drugs; Pitchfork-baiting; calling a female journalist a bitch onstage; telling an audience of “fuckin’ hillbillies” in North Carolina to “shut the fuck up”. In a Sun Kil Moon crowd you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. That’s why Kozelek’s gigs are so much fun.

Tickets for Sun Kil Moon cost €28.50 and will go on sale at 9am this Friday 1st November from www.selectivememory.ie . This will be a fully seated show.
