SIRENS is a celebration of music, connection, and collaboration, a space where voices intertwine in support, harmony, and shared expression. Hosted by Lisa Hannigan, with choral arrangements by Theodora Byrne and performed alongside her trio, the event brings together a collective of female artists, including Amanda Bergman, Kate Stables, Anna Mieke, Loah, Amano de Londra Miura and Angie MacMahon.

SIRENS centres on the power and resonance of women’s voices. The performance weaves together original compositions and reimagined works by female songwriters, offering moments of intimacy, strength, and collective energy. Through layered vocals and thoughtful arrangements, the show explores themes of solidarity, storytelling, and artistic exchange.

SIRENS is not just a concert, but a gathering, an invitation to listen, reflect, and be part of a shared musical moment shaped by collaboration and community.

Following the release of his fifth studio album Goldrush earlier this year, Gavin James and his band return to Cork Opera House in 2026. Few singer-songwriters are so able to capture the stuff of our intimate lives – love, heartache, loss, joy – like Gavin James. Honing his performing and song writing gifts as a busker and pub performer in Dublin, since being championed by the likes of Ed Sheeran and the release of his early records (including debut studio album, 2016’s Bitter Pill) James has built a community of fans that have seen his music streamed three billion times across the globe and earn diamond and platinum records in multiple countries.

He has also sold more than 250 000 tickets (and counting) worldwide with a live show that is as transporting as it is uplifting. In Fall 2023, James returned with a new single, ‘White Noise’ that sees him expanding his creativity (his vocal is in a deeper signature, adding a magnetic resonance to the lyrics) and is a precursor to a new album of original material that he’s recording in a studio on a mountain outside his home city of Dublin.

He has outsold the likes of Beyoncé in Ireland, performed for the Pope, sold out venues across the world; and is one of the most prolific touring artists in Ireland & the UK. Now, as he releases his new album Music Man, Ireland’s top entertainer Nathan Carter has announced a brand new tour for 2026!

Born in Liverpool to Irish parents from County Down, Nathan Carter has released 13 studio albums and 6 live albums, with a sound that traverses pop, Irish folk, country music and timeless ballads.

With tracks such as ‘Wagon Wheel’ and ‘I Wanna Dance’ becoming huge hits, he is one of Ireland’s biggest artists, who has outsold One Direction, Pharrell Williams and Michael Bublé. He also became the first Irish country act to reach number 1 in the Irish charts in 2013 after Garth Brooks, six years before.

His new album Music Man features 11 tracks including the hugely successful single ‘Dance With Everybody’ and the new song ‘Dear Elizabeth’.

On the album, Nathan says:

For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around music. It’s a language I’ve always understood, which started out as a hobby and has grown into a career which I am so privileged to enjoy every day. Thanks to music, I get to wake up each morning to do something that I love and share it with all of you.

It’s a complete love, a total obsession and has literally dictated the course of my life. I am proud to be a ‘music man’ and think it’s a really fitting title for this album. It certainly sums me up!

After ten years of continued touring success, Ireland’s most successful tribute show We’ve Only Just Begun The Carpenters Celebration is back.

Toni Lee returns to Cork Opera House in 2027 in a show featuring the timeless music of The Carpenters; Close To You, Superstar, For All We Know, Song For You and Top Of The World, just to mention a few.

Since breaking through with Top 10 single ‘Lost Without You’ back in 2017, Ridings has cemented herself as one of the UK’s most impressive vocal talents, with the ability to turn her hand to tender balladry and powerful air punch moments alike. That break out single has, to date, been streamed almost half a billion times on Spotify alone, while 2019’s self-titled debut album and 2023 follow-up Blood Orange both landed in the Top 10 of the UK Album Charts, sending Ridings around the world and landing her a BRIT nomination for Best Female Solo Artist.

Going into her third album – set for release in May 2026 -Freya Ridings is not the same artist she was before. She’s had to reach down into the depths and find reserves that she didn’t know she had, and in doing so, she’s tapped into a rich seam of anger and wisdom and womanhood that feels as timely now as it ever was. As she says, “Getting to create, sing and play these songs and have them exist in the real world, that feels like winning to me.”
