Boygenius at Royal Hospital Kilmainham: Stage times, set list, ticket information, how to get there and more

Boygenius, the indie pop supergroup starring Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, will on Monday perform for the first time together in Ireland. While this show is both Boygenius’s debut Irish performance, it is also the final gig of their European tour, so expect fun, games and a few surprises. Their first full album, called simply The Record, has been a huge success – even showing up their respective solo efforts. Critics fell over each other to proclaim it an instant indie-pop classic. Their biggest hit, Not Strong Enough, couldn’t be a more inaccurate description of the group. In numbers, their strength is undeniable. So what can we expect from the concert?

When do they play?

The group will perform on Monday, August 28th at Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Boygenius will be on stage at about 8.30pm.

What time should I arrive?

Gates open at 5pm and the first support act is due on stage at 5.30pm. Due to increased security measures, fans have been advised to be at the venue in sufficient time. However, early queuing is not allowed and concertgoers will be turned away if they arrive too early. The organisers have appealed to patrons to heed this advice and respect the community living in the vicinity of the venue.

Who are the support acts?
