What to Expect

Imelda May brings her Raised on Songs and Stories tour to Vicar Street for two nights on 9 and 10 June 2026. The Liberties native performing in the Liberties makes this one feel particularly special, and the intimate setting of Vicar Street suits the format May has chosen for this run: stripped back, honest, and deeply personal.

The shows blend songs from her wide discography with poetry and storytelling, creating an evening that’s less like a conventional gig and more like an intimate conversation. Having evolved from rockabilly queen to one of Ireland’s most literary performers, May brings a rare quality to her live shows. Two nights, 9 and 10 June, both at 8:00 PM. Extra dates were added due to popular demand.
