Josh Okeefe announces Vicar Street show

Folk singer Josh Okeefe has announced a show at Dublin's Vicar Street on March 20, 2027.

The news comes after a string of live song releases this year, including 'Tunnel Tigers (Live from an Old Railway Tunnel)', 'Building Up and Tearing England Down (Live from a Building Site, England)', 'Foggy Dew (Live from Rathcoursey East, Co. Cork)' and 'The Humours of Whiskey (Live Pub Performance)'.

The Irish artist has supported the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Pearl Jam and Billy Bragg, and toured the US with Glen Hansard in 2024.

He also returned as a special guest for Hansard's shows this past summer, including his performance at the Trinity College Dublin summer series.

Meanwhile, on his own, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut this year.

He has lived in Nashville since 2012, when he moved there from Derby, England.

"When I first washed up in Nashville, I was a young lad wit more hunger than talent," he wrote in a social media post announcing the Grand Ole Opry debut.

"In those early days, I remember moochin a seat to the Grand Ole Opry by chance, findin meself inside listenin to Bobby Osborne and starin at that famous circle as if it were an altar. On Saturday March 14th, 2026, I’ll be steppin into that historic circle for me Grand Ole Opry debut."

He has also performed several festival sets, most recently at the Newport Folk Festival main stage.

The last time Okeefe performed a headline set in Ireland was during his winter tour earlier this year, including stops at Coughlan's in Cork and Limerick's All We Have Are Days in January, and a sold-out three night residency at The Cobblestone in Dublin in February.
