Damien Dempsey

Wednesday, December 16, 2026 - Vicar St., Dublin 8

On 16 December 2026, Damien Dempsey returns to Vicar St for the second show of his December folk run. Following the opening night on 15 December, this performance deepens into material spanning “Hope Calling”, “Union” and “Soulsun”, placing his contemporary Irish folk writing at the centre of the evening. After sharing a bill with UB40, The Selecter and The Beatles Dub Club in Limerick in 2025, Dempsey’s focus here is a solo headline set. With the next Vicar St date falling on 18 December, this gig anchors the early part of his week-long residency at the venue.
