Yann Tiersen

Button Factory, Thursday 29th January

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 landscapes and intimate settings, rejecting the trappings of large scale touring to forge genuine connections with local crews and organisers.

Abbey Presbyterian Church

Brigit x District opens the festival weekend with a rare headline performance from Gemma Dunleavy.

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
