The Rathcoole man played the first of two hometown gigs to cap off a huge 2019

Dermot Kennedy is undoubtedly the Irish breakout star of 2019, so it goes without saying that tickets for his Christmas gigs at the 3Arena were in high demand.

The 'Outnumbered' singer played the first of two dates at the Dublin venue last night, with the second taking place tonight.

By the looks of things - and the fact that his name was trending on Twitter - it was both a big end to the year for him, and a great start to the Christmas holidays for his fans.

Are you heading along tonight? Some of these tweets will undoubtedly have you amped-up, if so...

Support Lilla Vargen is on at 8pm and Dermot takes to the stage at 9pm - so don't be late...
