Grupe 2 Koncertas at Talbot Hotel Carlow

Grupė 2, the duo of Karolis and Donatas, bring their touring show to the Talbot Hotel as part of a run of dates aimed at Ireland’s Lithuanian community. The pair describe themselves as marking a decade of major arena-scale concerts back home, now touring smaller venues for the Lithuanian diaspora across Ireland.

What to Expect

Doors open at 8pm with the concert running from 9pm to 11pm, a two-hour set from a duo used to playing to much bigger rooms than a hotel function suite. The billing is aimed squarely at Carlow’s Lithuanian community rather than a general Irish audience, and the event listing itself is in Lithuanian, framing the night as an invitation to Lithuanians living in Ireland to catch a touring act from home. It’s a reminder of how much of Carlow’s live music calendar now serves the county’s wider community, not just English-language pub and concert-hall bookings.
