Let’s go to DRI – American cross over thrash
Main Band: DRI
Support bands: Acid Age, Microtonal

• DRI — pioneers of American crossover thrash, bringing breakneck riffs, punk aggression, and decades of cult‑level energy.
• Acid Age — Belfast speed freaks with wild technical thrash and chaotic stage presence.
• Microtonal — experimental, sharp‑edged heaviness to kick the night off with something different.

This lineup is pure adrenaline: fast, loud, and exactly the kind of show where you walk out drenched, buzzing, and grinning.

🎸 Stone Cold Hobos – Live at Arthur’s Pub

Fri, Jul 24 · 9:00 PM IST

Arthur’s Pub, 28 Thomas Street, Dublin 8, Dublin, IE

A rhythm‑and‑blues night with real Irish rock history
Main Band: Stone Cold Hobos
Venue: Arthur’s Pub, 28 Thomas Street, Dublin 8
Doors: 9pm
Show ends 11pm
Tickets: €17.07
Meetup: Inside the venue from 8:30pm for a social drink Event Link: https://www.eventbrite.ie/.../the-stonecold-hobos-tickets...

Event Description
Join fellow rhythm‑and‑blues fans for a special night with Stone Cold Hobos, one of Ireland’s most electrifying blues‑rock trios. We’ll meet inside Arthur’s Pub from 8:30pm for a relaxed social drink before heading upstairs for the show.
This gig is shaping up to be historic. Bandleader Martin Cummins will be performing with an authentic piece of Irish rock heritage — one of Rory Gallagher’s own guitars, the Kay Swingmaster K672, famously featured on Gallagher’s album Fresh Evidence. Thanks to Barry O’Neill, this rare moment brings a direct link to Ireland’s greatest blues icon right onto the Arthur’s stage.
Expect gritty slide guitar, driving rhythm‑and‑blues, and a crowd of people who love the same music you do.
All funds raised will support the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival 2027 appeal.

🎶 Why come

• A top‑tier Irish R&B band in an intimate venue

• A once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance to hear Rory Gallagher’s guitar played live

• A friendly pre‑show meetup so nobody arrives alone

• A great Dublin blues crowd and a legendary pub atmosphere
