At Áras Chrónáin · Watery Lane, Orchard Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, D22 X856
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Colm Gavin, who guested earlier in the year at Áras Chrónáin’s Dean Friedman show, returns to the Clondalkin venue in November with what the centre is billing as the final show of his 2026 tour. It’s a fit for anyone who enjoys singer-songwriter gigs in a small, listening-room setting rather than a big commercial venue, and for regulars of Áras Chrónáin’s live music programme who have followed his appearances there through the year.
Doors open at 8pm with the show starting at 8:30pm, in Áras Chrónáin’s own performance space rather than the more informal session bar. Pre-sale tickets for the show sold out ahead of general release, with general seating tickets going on sale afterwards, so this is one to book ahead for rather than turn up on the night. As the closing date of the tour, expect the setlist to lean on material built up over the year’s earlier dates, played to an audience that in a room this size tends to be attentive rather than background noise.
Áras Chrónáin’s gigs are staged in an intimate setting, a contrast to arena or festival shows, and the venue’s role as an Irish-language and traditional arts centre gives evenings like this a slightly different character to a standard city-centre gig, even when the artist themselves isn’t performing in Irish.
Áras Chrónáin is just off the Nangor Road in Clondalkin village. Dublin Bus routes run from the city centre directly into Clondalkin, and the Luas Red Line serves Fonthill and Cookstown stops, both a short bus or taxi journey from the venue. There is on-street parking nearby.
There’s more to explore across Co. Dublin beyond a night of live music in Clondalkin village.
