Damien Dempsey

Tuesday, December 15, 2026 - Vicar St., Dublin 8

Damien Dempsey opens his December 2026 run at Vicar St on 15 December, launching a sequence of Irish folk shows in the venue. Known for songs like the 2023 single “Hope Calling” and albums “Union” and “Soulsun”, he brings that catalogue and socially charged storytelling into an intimate setting. Following a summer 2025 support slot for UB40 at TUS Gaelic Grounds, this date begins a focused stretch of his own headlining gigs. With no support billed, the night centres on Dempsey’s voice, guitar and narratives, setting the tone for the subsequent December Vicar St performances.
