Stomptown Brass

This event has ended

Opium, Friday 20th February

Through countless festival appearances and a number of wild and wacky productions, they have built a reputation as one of the Ireland’s most unique and dynamic ensemble acts. Blending sweeping soundscapes, relentless rhythms, groovy drops and captivating visuals, the expansive band line-up of two Drummers, two Trombones, two Trumpets, sixteen hands, one Sax and one big filthy Tuba are known to blow a serious racket that’ll get any crowd on their feet.

Aside from performing raucous slots at festivals like Electric Picnic, Beyond the Pale, Another Love Story, Kaleidoscope, Sea Sessions, Indiependence or old-Longitude, the band are known for some unique and spectacular theatrical productions that have beguiled audiences across all ages.

After a cold, wet January, Stomptown is bringing the heat to Opium on Friday February 20th, this time with the Dublin debut of a fresh new project – an arrangement of Jamie XX's seminal 2015 album “In Colour”!

This is a project over 7 years in the making, an intentional effort to stretch to the limits of what brass can achieve and it was finally launched into orbit at last year's All Together Now festival. Don't miss your chance to hear a really special album played in a way you've never heard before!

The Reytons

3Olympia

From topping the UK charts as a completely independent act to headlining major festivals and performing a capacity concert at the legendary Wembley Arena in 2025, The Reytons have defied every industry expectation. Having hurdled every obstacle with nothing but blue-collar grit and determination, the band—comprising Jonny Yerrell, Joe O'Brien, Lee Holland, and Jamie Todd—is now ready to take their "all-killer, no-filler" sound global. The Dublin date forms a key stop on the band’s highly anticipated first-ever World Tour.

Ardal O’Hanlon – Not Himself

Draiocht

Oh, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal’s latest show. Beautifully crafted stand-up comedy? Yes. Celebrated use of language? Tick. Lateral thinking, surreal flourishes, sharp observations? Of course. As for the occasional profundity? Maybe. Despite his best attempts over many decades to put the world to rights, it is still a colossal mess. And so, Ardal has no choice but to go out on the road again. Like the good comedy doctor he is, he fearlessly diagnoses the various pathologies and neuroses that are currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provide
