Whiplash, A Metallica Tribute, All Ages Show at Monroe's Live

What to Expect

Whiplash bring a Metallica tribute set to Monroe’s Live on Saturday 24 October 2026, and the venue has flagged this one as an all ages show with doors at 2:00 PM. That combination is unusual for Monroe’s, where almost everything is an over-18s evening gig, and it makes this a rare chance for younger metal fans in Galway to see a full-volume tribute set in a proper gig room.

Monroe’s Live is the standing music room beside Monroe’s Tavern on Dominick Street Upper in the West End. An afternoon door means the show wraps before the venue turns over to its evening programme, which on this date runs to two further shows in the same building at 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM. Because it is an all ages billing, expect family groups alongside the regular crowd, and check the venue’s terms on accompanying adults for under-16s when you book. The date, door time and all ages billing are taken from the Monroe’s published gig calendar, which does not list a ticket price.

Getting There

Monroe’s is on Dominick Street Upper in Galway’s West End, roughly ten minutes on foot from Eyre Square across the Wolfe Tone Bridge. An afternoon start makes driving easier than the usual evening shows, though the Fairgreen and Jury’s Inn multi-storey car parks are still the safest bet on a Saturday. City bus services along Fr Griffin Road and Dominick Street stop within a minute of the door, and Galway Ceannt railway and bus station is about fifteen minutes’ walk away, which suits anyone travelling in from Athenry, Oranmore or Ballinasloe by train for the afternoon.
