Lisa O'Neill, One Leg One Eye and Operating Theatre announced for special Gate Theatre series

Lisa O'Neill, One Leg One Eye and Operating Theatre have been announced for a special Gate Theatre series titled All the Dead Voices.

Three nights of live Irish music, from September 2 to September 4, will be presented as part of the GATECRASHES series.

One Leg One Eye will open All The Dead Voices on Wednesday with a rare Dublin appearance. The group consists of Ian Lynch from Lankum and George Brennan, and released their second album CRONE in May, this year. The haunting psychedelic duo embrace rage and frustration through experimental drone music.

The music-theatre company Operating Theatre will be performing on Thursday. The group, made up of Composer Roger Doyle and performer Olwen Fouéré, were active in two different phases, from 1981 to 1988 and from 1998 to 2008. They held a reunion concert in the National Concert Hall in 2025.

The last time the pair appeared together at the Gate Theatre was between 1988 and 1991, when they performed in the world premiere of the Oscar Wilde production Salomé, directed by Steven Berkoff.

Lisa O'Neill will round out the acts on Friday. The Cavan-born artist returns to the Gate after a series of performances in the venue in January 2025. Known for her distinctive voice and heart-felt lyrics she has become an idol of contemporary folk music. The singer-songwriter will rejoin The Pogues and other special guests for further European dates, later this year, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Rum Sodomy & the Lash album.
