Patti Smith set to play at Dublin's 3Arena as part of her 50th anniversary Horses tour

Patti Smith has announced a run of special gigs to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her debut studio album, Horses, including a date for Dublin's 3Arena on Monday, October 6, 2025.

The 78-year-old singer will celebrate the 1975 record with her band. She will be joined by two members of the original group, Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty, along with keyboardist/ bassist Tony Shanahan, who has been a part of her band for thirty years. Jackson Smith will also join on guitar.

Special Horses gigs have been announced for seven European cities: Dublin, Madrid, Bergamo, London, Brussels, Oslo, and Paris.

Along with these, she has also scheduled shows for nine cities in the U.S.: Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia.

The tour announcement comes after a recent incident where she collapsed on stage in Brazil in January, just 30 minutes into her performance.

She later took to her personal Instagram to release a statement saying, "I just want to let everyone know that I am fine. The account being spread by the press and social media is grossly exaggerated".

Horses, recorded in late 1975 at Electric Lady Studios in New York, has had a huge influence on both the punk and post-punk scenes. The classic album was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2021 and has received notable recognition since its release, including The Charles Cros Award, and was included in the Library of Congress in the National Recording Registry.
