After two long and hard years, live music venues are finally back up and running and there's a cracking array of shows coming to Dublin this month.
Perennial Irish favourite David Gray will play three nights at the 3Arena while legendary punk poet John Cooper Clarke will grace the Olympia stage.
As always, there's an eclectic line-up in Whelan's, including guitar legends Kerbdog and the likes of Maverick Sabre and The Blizzards will play The Academy.
We've put together a list of all of the concerts coming up at the major Dublin venues. If you have a gig that you think we've missed, please email news@dublinlive.ie and we'll add it to the listings.
