At The Academy · 57 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1
Halestorm are one of the most successful rock bands of the past two decades, led by frontwoman Lzzy Hale whose voice has become one of the defining instruments of hard rock. Their Grammy win, their arena headline tours, their opening slot for Iron Maiden, these are the credentials of a band that operates at the highest level.
The Unplugged Sessions format is a different proposition entirely. Lzzy Hale and guitarist Joe Hottinger bring the music down to its core elements, voice, acoustic guitar and piano, in a setting that lets you hear what the songs are actually made of. The Academy Dublin on 19 June 2026 is one of a very small number of Irish and UK dates on this intimate run.
For Halestorm fans this is unmissable. For anyone who appreciates the quality of rock songwriting when the production is stripped away, this is an exceptional opportunity.
