Anseo, Thursday 2nd January

Phill Jupitus Live in Dublin – Phill began his performing career in 1984, when he quit working in a job centre to become a performance poet, rising to prominence supporting such artists as Billy Bragg, The Style Council, and The Housemartins. In the 90's, his poetry turned into comedy, and Jupitus started performing at stand-up gigs all over London and the UK, going on to earn himself a Time Out award in 1994. Jupitus became a familiar face with his big TV break in 1996, when he became a regular team captain on BBC2's Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Jupitus has hosted his own show on BBC GLR, became the breakfast DJ on 6 Music, and a regular guest on BBC2's QI and the award-winning The News Quiz. He has presented various radio documentaries, along with gracing the West End stage as an actor. His live stand-up shows have taken him on several tours throughout the UK and beyond: Jedi, Steady, Go (1996), Quadrophobia (1999), and You're Probably Wondering Why I've Asked You Here (2014). In 2017, Jupitus returned to comedy with tours of Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, and, after a four-show-a-day run at the Edinburgh Fringe, began a tour of his most recent show, Sassy Knack, where Jupitus shares yarns and thoughts from his time north of Hadrian's Wall since moving to Scotland.

Don't miss your chance to watch in delight and/or horror as this experienced funnyman drags laughs out of the chaos of his own life. Join us for over an hour of tales, laughs, and diversions. Your only disappointment will be when the show ends.

Yann Tiersen

Button Factory

In an era of climate urgency, Yann Tiersen is redefining touring and challenging capitalist norms. From his solitary winter tour across Europe from Brest to Tallinn with no crew and only his dog for company – driving no faster than 61mph in his van, eschewing the usual trappings of tour consumerism (hotels, dressing room rider) and sleeping in people’s gardens, to voyages aboard his sailboat Ninnog, where he sailed through Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Scotland, Shetland, Wales, and Cornwall - even adding the Arctic to the list in Summer 2025 - he has brought his music to extraordinary lands

Brigit x District Gemma Dunleavy

Abbey Presbyterian Church

Brigit x District opens the festival weekend with a rare headline performance from Gemma Dunleavy. Since the release of UP DE FLATS in 2020, Dunleavy has largely stepped away from releasing music, choosing instead to refine her sound behind the scenes. Her return for Brigit feels timely. Rooted in stories of working-class Dublin and shaped by her upbringing in Sheriff Street, her club-pop songs balance emotional clarity with sharp, understated production. Set within the intimate surroundings of the Presbyterian Church, this show offers a focused live moment to mark Brigit: Dublin City Ce
