Hot for 2020 Events: 10 of the Best Gigs for 2020

With more live music than ever happening outdoors – in locations with greater capacities – the summer months are set to come alive in an extraordinary way. We’re looking forward to seeing Stormzy storm the 3Arena; soul supreme superstar Diana Ross bring endless love to Cork and Dublin; Lewis Capaldi liven up the Irish Independent Park in Cork and Malahide Castle; and Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer team up for what may just be the rock show of the summer at the RDS. We’re also eagerly awaiting news on a headliner for this summer’s concert at Slane. Rumours are evenly split between rock legends AC/DC and a miraculous reunion for the Gallagher brothers and Oasis. And don’t rule out a return from a certain Mr. Springsteen to our shores for another outdoor spectacular.
