Cry Before Dawn

Cry Before Dawn first formed in Wexford in 1982, and fuse guitar driven rock with traditional Irish pipes and whistles to create a uniquely powerful and dynamic sound

The band has 2 Double Platinum selling albums to their name as well as prestigious national awards. These include “Best Newcomer” in 1987 and “Best Irish Group” in 1989, reflecting the huge popularity of the band across the country

Their reputation for passionate and driven performances grew through their extensive live work in Ireland, the UK and the USA, and saw them sell out Ireland's National Stadium on two occasions

Having parted company for many years, Cry Before Dawn reformed in 2011 which coincided with the release of a “Best Of” CD, followed by a new single “Is This What You Waited For” and a new live album, “Live at the Opera House” as well as tours of Ireland and the UK

In 2023 a re-energised Cry Before Dawn took to the road, and played a series of key festivals and sell out headline shows around the country which attracted glowing press reviews

2024 has seen the band embark on a lengthy nationwide tour, once again selling out multiple major venues around the country including two consecutive shows at the Wexford Spiegeltent, and three nights at the legendary Whelan’s Main Venue in Dublin. Explosive performances at major international festivals such as Forest Fest and Night & Day during the summer has cemented their reputation as one of Ireland’s finest live bands.

These gigs will feature dance tracks close to Dec’s heart that were massive across those three decades.

 “The show is all about energy—it’s a concert, but we want you to lose yourself for a few hours. We want you to go back in time to experience these classic anthems with a full live band. It’s a unique music and visual experience. Honestly, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had on stage. The crowds we get at our shows come out for a party! When our energy matches the energy in the crowd… it’s a really special thing!” - Dec Pierce

 Speaking at The Launch Mick Dolan says, “ Decs shows are electric, his performance last year was one of the highlights of the Calander” “Not to be missed”

The Waterboys

The Waterboys have been led by Scottish singer and guitarist Mike Scott since the 1980s and have evolved through countless line-ups, winning a fearsome concert reputation along the way. Their best-known songs include The Whole Of The Moon, How Long Will I Love You, This Is The Sea and Fisherman's Blues. Indisputably one of the best live bands in the world, the 2024 version of The Waterboys features double keyboard players Brother Paul from Memphis and James Hallawell from Cornwall, and is grounded by killer Irish rhythm section Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums). They reconfigure music from all stages of the band's career, from the early "big music" and the roots-inspired Fisherman's Blues era, to the run of genre-fluid records that have poured out since 2015's swaggering Modern Blues, taking in soul, funk, country-rock and any other kinds of music they care to play. Expect drama, improvisation, musical fireworks and Waterboys classics.

There are no re-admissions to the concert. If you leave, there is no re-entry.
