At Moat Theatre · Abbey Road, Naas, Co. Kildare
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. At the time of writing tickets had not yet gone on sale for this date and the theatre had it listed as coming soon, with an option to register your details on the event page and be notified when booking opens. Check the theatre’s website closer to the date for pricing and availability.
