Two very different gigs taking place in the capital next summer

The gig announcements for summer 2023 are rolling in thick and fast - which is ideal if you're stuck for ideas for Christmas presents.

It also means that dates in the gig calendar are being circled for the months of May, June, July and August, with two more being added this morning.

Having released their seventh studio album 'The Other Side of Make-Believe' earlier this year, Interpol will play the Trinity Summer Series on Friday June 30th, with special guests Honeyglaze.

Tickets from €49.90 including booking fees go on sale this Friday 9th December at 9am.

Meanwhile, a very different gig will take place at St. Anne's Park on June 3rd, when a veritable '80s-fest rolls into town; Soft Cell will headline, with support from OMD and Heaven 17.

Tickets are from €49.90 including booking fee, and they go on sale at 9am this Friday 9th December.
