Live at the Iveagh Gardens 2026

What to Expect

Live at the Iveagh Gardens returns for another summer, transforming Dublin’s most beautiful hidden park into an intimate outdoor concert venue from 2 to 19 July 2026. The series has become one of the most treasured events in the Dublin summer calendar, combining world-class music with the magical atmosphere of the Victorian walled gardens behind the National Concert Hall.

The 2026 lineup is exceptional. Nile Rodgers and Chic open the series on 2 July, followed by The Scratch on 4 July, Elvis Costello and The Imposters on 5 July, Johnny Marr on 10 July, Bell X1 on a hometown date, Damien Dempsey, Garbage, James Taylor, Emeli Sande, Charlie Puth and more across the three weeks. Each show is a separate ticketed event.

The Iveagh Gardens setting, with its fountain, cascade and tree-lined lawn, makes every concert feel like a genuinely special occasion. The site capacity is deliberately kept intimate, giving each show a special atmosphere that larger outdoor venues simply cannot replicate.
