Damien Dempsey

Tuesday, December 22, 2026 - Vicar St., Dublin 8

Damien Dempsey’s 22 December 2026 appearance at Vicar St forms the penultimate stop of his December folk run. Coming after the 20 December show and ahead of the closing night on 23 December, it extends a residency that allows his Irish folk catalogue to unfold at length. Drawing on material from “Soulsun”, “Union” and the 2023 single “Hope Calling”, Dempsey uses these back-to-back dates to revisit different corners of his songwriting. Following his 2025 support performance for UB40 at TUS Gaelic Grounds, this series keeps the focus squarely on his own headline sets in an indoor setting.
