Gavin James: Special Acoustic Show

Gavin James returns to home turf with a Special Acoustic Show at Bord Gáis in Dublin on 2 May 2026. The Dublin-born singer-songwriter built his craft around voice and guitar, somewhere between acoustic pop and folk. Early EPs and the live set Live at Whelans set the tone: intimate songs, uncluttered arrangements, melodies that leave space for the lyrics. Studio releases Bitter Pill (2015), Only Ticket Home (2018) and The Sweetest Part (2022) broadened the palette without losing that core simplicity.

On stage, Gavin has moved from small clubs to opening for Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith, touring across Europe and North America while keeping a taste for solo shows. This acoustic date brings him back to that bare setup, with stripped-back versions drawn from across his catalogue. Expect quiet dynamics, warm guitar work and a close-up delivery that fits both his ballads and his more pop-leaning tracks. An evening focused on songwriting, in Dublin, at Bord Gáis.
