St. Vincent to return to Ireland with major headline show in Dublin

Rock maestro St. Vincent has announced an Irish date on her Daddy's Home Tour, with the singer set to play Fairview Park in Dublin on July 26 next year.

Annie Clark will play material from her most recent album, Daddy's Home, the acclaimed '70s inspired record released in May.

The outdoor show should be an increase in capacity from the last time she ventured to these shores as a solo headliner, blowing the doors off at two consecutive nights at The Olympia Theatre.

St. Vincent was featured on the cover of Hot Press back in May, speaking to Paul Nolan.

Touching on the inspiration for Daddy's Home, she explained, "I’m really into history."

“This record really centres on music made in New York City from 1971-’76, a very specific time, because – whether I consciously knew it or not at the time, or it just came to be – it reminds me of the time we’re in now. In the early ’70s, it was burned out buildings, and the idealism of the flower children had crashed."

"It kind of feels like that to me now. We are in the midsts of tearing down institutions of power, in some cases in a great way, and we’re trying to figure out where we go from here, but we don’t know yet. And it’s kind of unclear which faction is going to gain power and carry it forward."

You can snag tickets for St. Vincent at Fairview Park at 10 am this Friday from ticketmaster.ie.
