The 502s announce Irish dates for 2026

Florida indie-folk band The 502s have announced a series of live dates in Ireland as part of their The Up, Up, Up the Coast and Across the Pond Tour, beginning of autumn this year.

The tour will span 20 dates across the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America in August and September, with four shows scheduled in Ireland. The band is set to play at Set Theatre in Kilkenny on August 30, followed by a Cork show at Cyprus Avenue on August 31, a date at Limericks Dolan's on September 1 and finally at Róisín Dubh in Galway on September 2.

The group was formed in 2015 by Ed Isola, who began writing songs with a banjo. The band’s name comes from his home address. Today, the 502s consists, besides Isola, of Joe Capati, Sean Froehlich, Nick Melashenko and Garrett Phillips. Their song ‘Just a Little While’ quickly became central to a TikTok trend, going viral and gaining more than 120 million streams on Spotify.

The tour comes after the release of their latest record, Easy Street, in September 2025. It marked the band’s fourth studio album.

Tickets will be available on Friday, May 15 here.
