At The Hendrick Dublin · 6-11 Hendrick Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7, D07 A8N1
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Crush, featuring Hugh Green, launch their new record at The Hendrick Dublin on Saturday 24 October. Album launch shows tend to draw a crowd of existing fans along with newcomers curious about the record, and this one runs in the venue’s event space on Hendrick Street.
Hendrick Street sits at the quieter, hospitality-focused edge of Smithfield, so a launch night here has a different feel to a show in one of the city centre’s bigger rooms, closer in scale to a neighbourhood gig than a major release event.
A live performance built around the new album, starting at 8pm. Expect the record played through more or less in full, alongside a few older tracks, in the intimate setting of the Hendrick’s function room rather than a large concert venue. Album launch nights typically draw a warmer, more engaged crowd than a standard gig, since much of the room already knows the material from advance singles or streaming. Because it’s staged in a function room rather than a dedicated concert venue, capacity is limited compared with Smithfield’s bigger rooms, which tends to make for a closer, more attentive crowd than a standing gig at a larger venue.
Smithfield itself has shifted over the past two decades from a wholesale fruit and vegetable market and horse fair area into one of Dublin’s more mixed hospitality quarters, with bars, distilleries and music venues now sitting alongside its older market square. A launch night on Hendrick Street taps into that newer side of the area rather than its market history.
Hendrick Street sits between Smithfield and Stoneybatter, a short walk from the Smithfield Luas Red Line stop and served by Dublin Bus routes along the north quays. It’s an easy walk from the Four Courts and city centre.
Smithfield Square and the Cobblestone are a few minutes’ walk from the venue, worth combining with a night out here. There’s more to explore across Co. Dublin.
