Glen Hansard at Vicar Street

Glen Hansard’s annual Christmas residency at Vicar Street is one of Dublin’s most beloved traditions. The Frames frontman, Oscar-winning songwriter, and street-busking troubadour plays multiple nights that are emotional, communal, and genuinely magical.

What to Expect

Glen Hansard live is an experience like no other. He plays with absolute intensity, whether it’s a whispered ballad or a full-band roar. Expect songs from The Frames, The Swell Season, and his solo records, plus covers and spontaneous moments that make every night unique. ‘Falling Slowly’, ‘Star Star’, ‘Fitzcarraldo’, and ‘Say It to Me Now’ in a venue this intimate is something special. Guests often appear.
