Northern Irish band Two Door Cinema Club are back in Dublin this week to perform at the Iveagh Gardens. Following the release of their latest album, Keep on Smiling, the Bangor trio have been busy with international dates and festivals. Described as a “musical pick-me-up”, tracks from their latest album, as well as their old popular hits, will surely lift spirits no matter what the weather is like in the capital on Thursday. So, what else can we expect for their Dublin show?
When do they play?
The concert is at the Iveagh Gardens, off Dublin’s Harcourt Street, on Thursday, July 20th.
What time should I arrive?
Entry to the event will be via the Clonmel Street gate, which will open at 6.30pm. Early queuing is not permitted and concertgoers have been asked to respect the property and privacy of residents in the area.
Who is the support act?
After recently releasing her new single Slow Dancing and headlining her first show at Workman’s, Dubliner Lucy McWilliams is lined up to take the stage before Two Door Cinema Club.
