Gig season is so back Alamy Stock Photo

How much do you know about Ireland's gig lineup this summer?

Test your knowledge on the musicians stopping off in Ireland over the next few months.

LOVELY DAYS LIVE took place at St. James’ Gate this weekend, with Barry Can’t Swim, CMAT, and Fontaines D.C. taking to the Guinness Storehouse stage. This is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a stacked summer of Irish gigs and festivals.

Whether you’re turning Malahide brat green, catching (another) farewell from The Wolfe Tones, or enjoying a bit of craic agus ceol with The Mary Wallopers, there’s something for everyone this summer.
