Concerts and clubbing in Galway

Over the coming months, Galway’s most talked-about concerts in Galway are clustered around Monroe’s Tavern, where the city’s live calendar ranges from intimate folk sets to more rhythm-led nights. In July, Lucy Rose, Simple Things, Chasing Abbey and DUG all bring different shades of songcraft to the room, while September adds Allie Sherlock at Monroe’s Tavern, The Lemonheads at Monroe’s Tavern, Laura Veirs at Monroe’s Tavern and two nights with The Scratch, giving a clear picture of the biggest events in Galway for the season. Later in the year, Alabama 3 arrive in an acoustic mode, and although this run is firmly about live music rather than clubbing, it still reflects the mix of energy and closeness that keeps Galway’s evenings busy.
