Since opening its doors in 2009, the Set Theatre has firmly established itself as a brilliant, state-of-the-art venue, located on the bustling John Street in the heart of Kilkenny City.
A beautiful building – one of only two David Collins-designed spaces in Ireland – it regularly hosts music, films and comedy, and gets thoroughly involved in town affairs during festival season.
Last year, Wolf Alice chose the Kilkenny venue for their first gig in three years, kicking off a string of special Irish shows.
