At Moat Theatre · Abbey Road, Naas, County Kildare
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Dan McCabe plays the Moat Theatre on Sunday 25 October 2026, a home-town date for a singer who comes from Naas. The theatre describes him as one of Ireland’s most exciting contemporary folk voices, working in a space where the traditional ballad repertoire meets more contemporary arrangement and production.
McCabe has built his audience through live performance and a substantial social media following, and his approach rests on emotive vocals and storytelling rather than instrumental display. Seeing a singer in the town he is from tends to produce a different room than a standard touring stop, and the Moat’s compact auditorium suits material that depends on a lyric carrying. The venue now lists tickets at EUR 40 plus booking fees, with a 19:30 start.
Naas is directly off the M7, about 35 km south-west of Dublin, and signposted from the motorway. The Moat Theatre is on Abbey Road, a short walk from the town’s main street, with public car parking nearby. Buses run between Dublin city centre and Naas, though Sunday evening service is lighter than weekdays, so check return times. Sallins and Naas railway station on the Dublin Heuston commuter line is roughly 4 km from the theatre.
