The Saw Doctors add third 3Olympia Dublin October date

The Saw Doctors have confirmed they will play a third and final show at the 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday October 14. The band previously announced two Dublin shows in the iconic Dame Street venue last month, with tickets selling out instantly.

The Saw Doctors last played at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre in March 2017, where they similarly sold out three nights at the venue. Their three shows will follow a busy summer for the band, with a flurry of live shows and festival appearances both home and abroad.

The famous Galwegian band kick off their bill of Summer tours with a headline performance on Glastonbury’s Acoustic Stage, alongside the likes of Gavin James, The Mary Wallopers and Glen Hansard.

Heading Stateside, The Saw Doctors will play two sold out shows on America’s East Coast. They play in New York at The Hammerstein Ballroom on July 7, then head to Boston the following day to play at The MGM Music Hall.

Returning back to Ireland, the band will play on Saturday July 21 and Sunday July 29 at The Galway International Arts Festival. Two headline performances at their own West’s Awake Festival in Tuam, Co. Galway on Saturday August 19 and Sunday August 20 follow.

The band rounds out their summer with an appearance at Electric Picnic in Stradbally on September 3. The band had been on hiatus for more than five years, before returning last winter with several UK shows, including sold out shows at London’s Brixton Academy and The Manchester Apollo.

The band currently features original members and songwriters Davy Carton and guitarist Leo Moran. Across almost four decades as a group, they’ve produced hits such as ‘N17’, ‘I Useta Love Her’, ‘The Green And Red Of Mayo’ and ‘Red Cortina’.

Tickets for the Saw Doctors’ third live show will go on sale on Friday morning at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie.
