Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe is bringing his Indoor Garden Party back to the Ireland and UK this summer, with a show at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre on July 1, 2024.

The concept started in 2009 in a pub outside London owned by late chat show legend, Michael Parkinson, and has kept going in various forms ever since. The current configuration sees Crowe bring to the foreground The Gentlemen Barbers, an ensemble with whom he has been quietly working with for the last four years.

“It’s fluid. The personnel changes, but it’s always big. It’s like a festival where I gather people I admire, musicians and storytellers, and we put on a show,” said Crowe.

“There’s an attitude about this band. It’s got a groove. We do a lot of story songs, but we also know we are here to blow out the cobwebs and give the audience a good night.”

The band have been finding time between their frontman's film shoots to play, record  and rehearse together. They toured Australia in 2023, with a series of shows featuring special appearances from the likes of Michael Bublé, Rita Ora and Wu Tang Clan.  

Tickets start from €61.35 and go on sale Friday, March 8 at 10AM.
