Meanwhile, The Saw Doctors have added a second 3Olympia Theatre show due to high demand for their first Dublin appearance in six years. After a five year break from touring, the group played a run of "comeback" gigs in the UK last winter, including sell-out shows at the Manchester Apollo and London's Brixton Academy.

Back in Ireland, The Saw Doctors will play Electric Picnic on September 3 as well as headlining their own ‘West’s Awake’ Festival in Tuam, Co. Galway on Saturday August 19 and Sunday August 20.

The Mary Wallopers and Gavin James delivered new albums over the last 12 months, while Glen Hansard's The Frames will perform shows in Cork's Live at the Marquee, Botanic Gardens in Belfast and more this summer.

Glastonbury Festival 2023 stars Elton John, Arctic Monkeys and Guns N' Roses as's headliners - plus Lana Del Rey, Lizzo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek, Lil Nas X, Loyle Carner, Central Cee and Thundercat.
