Tucked away in the city’s West End, this ‘dark little rose’ – named for the 16th Century political love song which has became for some a metaphor for Irish patriotism – has established itself as a top tier venue for new acts, international headliners and raucous comedy.

Birthday celebrations kick off on Tuesday, June 19 with a free-entry Silent Disco.

On Wednesday June 19, homegrown indie stars The Academic will perform. Then on Thursday, June 20, comedy fans will enjoy an already sold-out show from Dylan Moran.

Across the birthday weekend, Irish music legends Bell X1 perform an acoustic show on Friday, June 21. On Saturday, June 22, Soda Blonde will be joined by special guests. Closing out the celebrations on Sunday, June 23 is a free-entry show from John Conneely Inc.
