10 live events and films for June: David Byrne, CMAT, Toy Story, and more...
Events in June.
David Byrne returns to Dublin after delivering one of the year’s standout shows at the 3Arena just months ago. Those who missed out won’t make the same mistake twice, while British star Arlo Parks provides support.
Steven Spielberg returns with his first film since The Fabelmans, shifting from the personal back to what he does best. Starring Josh O’Connor alongside Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, and Emily Blunt, what if we discovered we’re not alone? An alien invasion sci-fi thriller awaits.
The fifth edition of Beyond the Pale is headlined by Caribou, Primal Scream, Soulwax, and Father John Misty, while rising star Dove Ellis also plays his only Irish festival show of summer. Like a mini Electric Picnic, there’s also art, food, and wellbeing; a boutique festival with big ambition.
Tim Allen and Tom Hanks return as Woody and Buzz, joined by a stellar cast including Greta Lee, Joan Cusack, and Conan O’Brien. Disney and Pixar’s latest instalment sees the beloved toys face a new challenge in a world where “Toy meets Tech” and playtime itself comes under threat.
It’s been less than a year since the release of her all-conquering third album , but Dunboyne Diana CMAT shows no signs of letting up. Her show at Musgrave Park in Cork features support from the sprawling all-female trad act Biird. Other acts playing the venue include: Kingfishr (June 11-12), Kodaline (June 19), Alanis Morrisette (June 24), The Lumineers (June 25), and Amble (June 26).
The biggest show on Leeside this summer brings one of modern country’s most compelling voices to Páirc Uí Chaoimh as Zach Bryan takes
the stage. Sixth album With Heaven on Top, released at the start of the year, shot straight to the top of the US charts.
The Cork music legend has been battered by illhealth in recent times, but it has been heart-warming to see the city’s music community rally behind him. This concert will feature a host of singers and musicians from Leeside's folk scene.
From The Jam to The Style Council and an expansive solo career, the Modfather has built an enduring legacy spanning nearly 30 studio albums. The Marquee series kicks off on June 10 - David Gray, Two Door Cinema Club, and Christy Moore are just a taster of the acts playing this month.
One of the defining voices of a generation, Florence Welch comes to town following the release of sixth album Everybody Scream last year. Hotly tipped English singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri is on support.
Choice Prize winner and Fred again.. collaborator SOAK aka Bridie Monds-Watson brings their tour of intimate venues to West Cork, beginning in Prim’s Bookshop, Kinsale. Expect to hear lots of new material.
