![]() In a double headline slot, pop-grunge rascals Bouts and '80s synth-pop queen Odú are not only proving that Irish music is very much alive and kicking, but they're kicking down the divider between genres while they're at it. If ever there's a doubt in your mind that there's not much happening in Irish music right now, then look no further than this gig. Special guests are Limerick band Whenyoung. A cracking band, and in Shirley Manson they have one of the best and most influential front-of-stage women in rock/pop. Throughout the years, they have maintained their semi-perverse MO of (as guitarist Steve Marker once said) taking pop music to "make it as horrible sounding as we can". This one is for the focused Garbage fan, the ones who were there from the 1995 self-titled debut album and who stuck with them all the way to 2016's Strange Little Birds. The band previously played Ireland at last year's Electric Picnic, but that was a catch-all show. This Dublin date is the final one for the European leg of Garbage's tour, so expect a little bit of relief and a whole lotta energy. Special guests include London nu-folk singer-songwriter Beabadoobee (aka Bea Kristi) and Australian songwriter Kirin J Callinan. Let's hope there's more music than off-kilter attempts at laughter. The Canadian delivers loose-ended indie-psych/pop but has often been known to deviate from the music by doing a few magic tricks and comedy sketches. Mac DeMarco is the oddball that made good, a naïve singer-songwriter who gradually gained the necessary levels of experience to take him out of a few dead-end jobs and into a full-time career as a musician. This event is also raising money for Women's Aid, with all donations welcome. There is a €5 registration fee and for an extra tenner you can pick up a long brown "Cathy" wig. In all your days, how many Cathys dancing around in a red gúna have you taken in in one glance? One? Two? Well then, you are in for quite the treat when hundreds of Cathys descend upon Fairview Park to recreate the dance routine from Kate Bush's video for Wuthering Heights. The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever Fairview Park, Dublin ![]()
