Live music and no-holds-barred comedy at Dundalk's Toales Live Venue
Jam-packed lineup at Toales Live Venue in Dundalk again this week
Thursday 3rd September - Fireside Sessions presents Sean Fee + Sirens - Show starts 9pm - Free Admission
Sean Fee returns to Toales on Thursday 3 September for another intimate live acoustic performance as part of the venue’s weekly Fireside Sessions.
Best known as frontman and songwriter with Dundalk rock ’n’ roll favourites The Dundalk Dolls, Fee will strip the songs back to their foundations for a close-up solo set.
The band’s catalogue stretches from its self-titled 2019 release through later tracks including Sons of Oriel, Distant Miracle, The Waves Have Eyes and Johnny Wrongun.
Fee has already made a strong impression at the Fireside Sessions, mixing his own material with carefully chosen covers and showing a different side to the swagger and energy of The Dundalk Dolls.
Joining him on the night are special guests Sirens, returning to Toales following their well-received appearance alongside The Dundalk Dolls.
The Fireside Sessions continue to place original local music front and centre, offering audiences the chance to hear established performers and emerging artists in the relaxed surroundings of the Toales bar and always free admission!!
Friday 4th September - Burn Down The House + Aergia + Lucas & Eoin - Doors 8pm - Admission €5
Fresh from winning the Toales Battle of the Bands 2026, Burn Down The House make their triumphant return to the Dundalk venue on Friday, September 4, with special guests Aergia and Lucas & Eoin.
Burn Down The House earned their victory with a potent combination of intense energy, sharp riffs and natural musical chemistry.
Describing themselves as four musicians with “plenty to say,” this Naas four-piece deliver direct, energetic original rock built for the live stage.
Their music, including tracks such as Sugar Kane, can be found through their Breaking Tunes profile.
Joining them are Dundalk rising stars Aergia, whose energetic mix of grunge, punk and alternative rock has already made its mark at Toales and across the local original music scene.
Completing the bill are Lucas & Eoin—Lucas McGeough of Nightlamping and Eóin Byrne of Imbau—bringing a stripped-back, atmospheric and experimental sound to the night.
This promises to be a brilliant celebration of two bands who have come through the venue’s grassroots showcases and established themselves as genuinely exciting live prospects.
Burn Down The House with Aergia and Lucas & Eoin play Toales Live Venue, Dundalk, on Friday, September 4. Doors open at 8pm and admission is only €5.
Saturday 5th September - El Paso Comedy presents David McSavage - Doors 8pm
One of Ireland’s most fearless and uncompromising comedians, David McSavage, comes to Toales Live Venue, Dundalk on Saturday, September 5, with his brand-new stand-up show that hits where it hurts - Pig Ignorant.
Creator and star of RTÉ’s cult satire The Savage Eye, McSavage has spent more than two decades gleefully taking aim at Irish politics, religion, media and society.
From his infamous days performing on the streets to sold-out shows around the country, his comedy has built a reputation for being raw, confrontational and very definitely without a safety catch.
Pig Ignorant turns his attention to injustice, anger and, in McSavage’s words, the “collapsed assholes” who make life miserable while remaining absolutely convinced they’re right.
At the heart of the show is something most of us know only too well: that argument where you say nothing in the moment, only to spend the next three days inventing the devastating comeback you should have delivered.
McSavage digs into grudges, resentment and the importance — and occasional danger — of standing up for yourself.
Expect an hour of brutally candid, revenge-fuelled comedy from a performer who has never shown much interest in behaving himself.
