Rex Orange County

This event has ended

Iveagh Gardens, Friday 15th July

Rex Orange County will perform his Who Cares? Tour live at The Iveagh Gardens, Dublin this July 15th.

This is Rex's first since 2020's Live at Radio City Music Hall EP taken from his two sold-out shows at the venue in 2020 just before his international Pony tour was cut short in Berlin due to Covid-19. As it turns out, however, that tour being cut short is part of the genesis of this album. After spending the bulk of 2020 quarantined back home in the UK, Rex made the trek to Amsterdam that fall to record with Benny Sings, with whom he crafted the 2017 platinum selling breakout single “Loving Is Easy.”

What started as sessions without expectations turned into an incredibly productive 48-hour window of recording with Benny, prompting a follow-up trip to Amsterdam. The subsequent 10 days of work together produced his fourth album, made in close partnership with Benny, that is a playful record by an artist in a playful mood. The album also finds Rex reunited with one of his earliest champions, Tyler, The Creator, who contributes a verse to “OPEN A WINDOW,” which marks the first time the two have collaborated since Tyler's 2017 album Flower Boy.

Tony Cantwell – You Cry Weird

Pavilion Theatre

If you didn’t laugh, he’d cry. Tony Cantwell has cried for some wild reasons over the years. A TV show about dogs. A drunken run on a treadmill. Getting caught in the nip at school. They’re also all part of the chaos that unfolds in You Cry Weird, his brand new Fringe Award-nominated show from Hot Press’s "second-best comedian in Ireland". It’s got wildly personal stories, surreal perspectives and more tangents than a bronzed men’s beach. The show also has puns. From the star of Amazon's Last One Laughing, RTE's Good Boy and co-host of the Young Hot Guys podcast alongside Kil
