BIIRD announce show at The National Concert Hall

BIIRD have announced they will be performing a show at The National Concert Hall, Dublin, on December 1.

The group return to Dublin following their Vicar Street and The Button Factory shows last year. Since their inception in 2025, the band are known for their energetic sets and dedication to the preservation of Irish traditional music.

The all-female trad supergroup comprises Lisa on harp, banjo, vocals; Laura Doherty on fiddle and guitar; Zoran Donohoe on concertina; Sal Heneghan on fiddle and harp; Miadhachlughain O’Donnell on flute and vocals; Nicole Lonergan on fiddle; Niamh Hinchy on vocals and synth; Aoife Kelly on cello; Ciara Ní Mhurchú on fiddle; Hannah Hiemstra on drums; and Claire Loughran on fiddle and harp.

They performed at King John's Castle in Limerick on October 4 for the Ryder Cup Live at the Castle concert. Dublin band The Coronas also played at the event, which celebrated the countdown to the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.

They also performed 4 shows in the 3Arena in September as opening acts for Westlife's thirteen-show residency at the venue. Other special guests for the shows included Aslan, Paddy Keyes, and Garron Noone.

This followed a run of US and Canada tour dates during the summer, where they supported Ed Sheeran for his LOOP tour.

Following US rapper Macklemore's dismissal from the tour due to his calls for a 'free Palestine' during his opening set on September 4, BIIRD shared their support for the rapper on Instagram.

"We stand unequivocally behind every word he said," they wrote.

After their 2025 appearance on The Late Late Show, the band sold out their debut UK and Ireland tour, which included dates in Limerick, Mayo, Derry, and Galway. They played in front of 15,000 fans on the mainstage at All Together Now 2026, despite not releasing any music.

The band recently signed with Primary Talent as booking agents for 2026, with an extensive Irish, UK, and US tour soon to be announced.

Tickets for The National Concert Hall show go on sale on Wednesday, October 21 at 10 am here.
