We preview all of this week's biggest concerts, including the highly anticipated Irish leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour
It's a big week for Irish music fans with a number of high-profile taking place over the coming days.
Even Beyonce’s mega-hyped Cowboy Carter album has been and gone and left the news cycle in Taylor’s wake. The Eras tour celebrates just that — all of her album cycles within their own segment, with their own backdrops and presentation, with Swift playing well over three hours. These days Smith doesn’t just do gigs — over the past decade I’ve seen her a few times and she seems to bless the ground and summon genuine power from the Earth, amid the poetic, fist-up anthems like ‘People Have the Power’, ‘Gloria’, ‘Dancing Barefoot’, and inspiring covers of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Midnight Oil.
The annual weekender at Marlay Park has now become the biggest A-list hip-hop and dance music festival in Ireland, after a few years of tweaking the formula a decade or so ago. Saturday tickets for this year's festival cost €125 not including booking fee and are available via Ticketmaster, while Sunday tickets cost €99.90. The weekend package works out at €199.50.While every student gaff in Ireland during the late 1990s had posters of Pulp Fiction, the ‘Choose Life’ Trainspotting monologue, and David Gray’s White Ladder CD, the slightly more discerning fan had Air’s Moon Safari close to the stereo.
