Gabrielle Aplin: Dear Happy Tour – Live at The Olympia Theatre Dublin.
Support from Emily Burns and Nick Wilson.

Gabrielle Aplin released her third album, Dear Happy, on January 17th. Gabrielle said, “I'm so excited to release Dear Happy into the world. It's been a few years in the works as I figured out what I wanted to say with my third album. The start of this album, without knowing at the time, coincided with the moment I made a definitive decision to start to unravel and rewire my brain. Dear Happy subsequently became a documentation of this journey to myself. I wanted to use writing as a way of understanding. Sonically, I wanted to capture these moments and experiences in a positive light. I want to listen back to these songs in 5 years and hear happiness and positivity. It's an album about saying “f**k it!” to your worries and insecurities. Or maybe it's an album that invites your worries and insecurities to sit with you. It's an album about saying “no”. It's an album about saying “YES”. It's an album that is a past, present and future letter to myself.”

Dear Happy is an uplifting pop record that chronicles Gabrielle's life, and the experiences and cultures she has been inspired by whilst touring and travelling the world over the past couple of years. The love for her around the world in 2019 was no better demonstrated than from the single Losing Me, a dreamy collaboration between Gabrielle and JP Cooper, which featured in 36 New Music Friday Spotify playlists including the UK, achieving multi-million streams alongside great support from Radio 1, Radio 2 and more. Gabrielle Aplin has worked with producers Mike Spencer (Tom Walker, Zara Larsson, Years & Years), Lostboy (Dua Lipa, Becky Hill, Sigala), The Barn Productions (Lewis Capaldi, Dean Lewis) and 5YA (Sigrid) on the new album.

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
