Ye Vagabonds to support Phoebe Bridgers at Fairview Park tonight

Ye Vagabonds have been announced as the support acts for Phoebe Bridgers' sold-out show at Fairview Park, Dublin this evening, June 20.

The Irish folk duo will also open for the American singer-songwriter at the O2 Academy, Birmingham on June 26.

Bridgers previously named Irish acts Mick Flannery and Pillow Queens as her special guests for her gigs in the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow this week, on June 22 and 23 respectively.

Ye Vagabonds released their acclaimed third album, Nine Waves, last month, via Rough Trade's River Lea imprint. As Hot Press previously noted, the album "further establishes the duo as one of the most quietly authoritative forces in Irish music, as they continue to expand their sound across a compelling collection of both traditional and original tracks."

"So... this is happening on Monday!" Ye Vagabonds wrote on Instagram, announcing their support slot for Bridgers. "Gonna be unbelievable craic opening for Phoebe Bridgers in Fairview Park and also in Birmingham on the 26th. See ya there!"

Bridgers released her latest album, Punisher, in 2020. The following year, she scored four Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.

She's no stranger to Ireland – having visited these shores with her boyfriend, Irish actor Paul Mescal, in addition to her previous Irish gigs. She also contributed a brand new song, ‘Sidelines’, to the soundtrack of the recent adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends.
