With the combination of the Live Performance Support Scheme and the success of the Government's test gigs at the Iveagh Gardens and the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, we are on the verge of a huge explosion of music activity. As part of our Summer of Music 2021 special feature, we're taking a look at some of the most eagerly anticipated events of the summer...

Limrock Live

Where: The Milk Market, Limerick

When: Various dates

Who: Alvin Purple Experience (August 20), Emma Langford (27), The O’Malleys (September 3)

What: Taking over Limerick’s iconic Milk Market every Friday night in August, Limrock Live has been showcasing a diverse range of acts, as live music makes its gradual return to the city. Presented by Dolan’s, in association with Limerick City and County Council, each performance promises to be an intimate experience, with a strict 200-person capacity. In addition to the Limrock Live gigs on Fridays, the Milk Market will also play host to Mary Coughlan (August 18), Cathy Davey & NewDad (19), Aslan (21), The Mary Wallopers (25 & 26), Just Mustard (28), Damien Dempsey (September 5) and more.
