Autechre at Vicar Street

Autechre are one of the most influential acts in experimental electronic music, and their live appearances are rare. The Manchester duo, together since the early 1990s and long associated with Warp Records, play Vicar Street, Dublin, on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, at 8:00pm.

What to expect

Dense, intricate, constantly shifting electronic music that rewards close listening rather than a conventional gig with support acts and banter between songs. Autechre’s sets are largely improvised and change from night to night rather than being played straight from record, so no two shows on the tour sound quite the same. This is one for listeners who already know the duo’s records rather than a casual night out. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster via the Vicar Street listing, with prices starting from €40.

Getting there

Vicar Street is at 58-59 Thomas Street, Dublin 8, in the Liberties, a short walk from Christ Church Cathedral and the Guinness Storehouse. The venue has been open since 1998 and was extended in 2002; it holds up to 1,050 seated or 1,500 standing depending on how a given show is configured, and this one is a standing-capable room by the nature of the act.

While you’re in Dublin

Thomas Street and the surrounding Liberties are one of Dublin’s oldest quarters, with plenty of bars and restaurants around Vicar Street itself, so there’s no need to rush off after a late finish. With a listening show like this, it’s worth arriving in good time rather than catching only the last part of the set. There is more to see across Co. Dublin.
