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.

Holly Hudson – Fine, Actually

Craic Den Comedy @ The Workman's Club

50 minutes of stand-up and storytelling about a midlife American woman abroad who attempts to defend, explain, and occasionally apologize for her country of origin. Cultural collision, reinvention, and the specific modern experience of trying to stay composed while privately refreshing the news like you’ve been personally assigned to monitor the apocalypse. The political and the personal keep colliding — which turns out to be the whole point. Holly Hudson came up on the London circuit and has since performed at Laugh Factory Chicago, Second City, and Zanies. Originally from the Midwest,
