Flogging Molly pay a flying visit to our shores for a show in the Olympia Theatre Dublin tonight. Expect skin and hair to be flying to the sounds of their raucous Celtic punk songs.

The Carolina rocker will be playing tracks from his well received 2017 album Prisoner, as well as other humdingers from his back catalogue. In contrast – and at the other end of the career arc – in the National Concert Hall Dublin you can attend tonight’s showcase of some of the most outstanding winners from ESB
Feis Ceoil 2017. It will feature soloists, choirs and ensembles from across all disciplines.
