Raptured, a tribute show built around the music of Blondie, plays the Garage Theatre on Saturday, 17 October 2026, at 8pm. It is a full-band tribute night rather than a solo act, working through the New Wave hits that made Blondie one of the defining bands to come out of that scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The Garage Theatre’s own listing describes the show as high-energy, built around the sound, style and attitude of Blondie rather than a note-for-note museum piece, with a setlist drawing on the band’s best-known anthems, the kind of songs that get a room singing along. The venue specifically highlights strong visuals and a frontwoman who captures Debbie Harry’s stage presence, which suggests the production leans into the visual side of a Blondie show as well as the music, matching the theatrical, image-conscious side of the band’s original run. Saturday night is the Garage Theatre’s main slot for tribute and covers acts through the autumn programme, and at EUR 30 this is priced at the higher end of what the venue charges compared with its drama and comedy nights, reflecting the size of the production and the band involved on stage.
The Garage Theatre is part of the Monaghan Education Campus on the Armagh Road, on the edge of Monaghan town, with its own car park on site.
Monaghan town’s Diamond and Market Square are a short drive from the theatre if you want a meal or a drink before the show. There is more to see in Monaghan and across Co. Monaghan.
