Eight blockbuster shows confirmed for Limerick’s most iconic outdoor venue, featuring legendary rock acts, beloved Irish artists, and an explosive K-pop spectacular
Dolan’s Presents has announced its biggest “Live at the Castle” programme to date, confirming a powerful 2026 lineup at the historic King John’s Castle, Limerick.
Running across May and June, the series features international icons, Irish favourites, and a high-energy K-pop spectacular — making this the most diverse and dynamic Castle season yet.
The concerts begin on Saturday, May 2nd, when synth-pop legends The Human League take the stage with special guests Cry Before Dawn, delivering an evening full of timeless hits and nostalgic flair.
The following night, Sunday, May 3rd, sees beloved hometown heroes Hermitage Green celebrate their 15-year anniversary alongside special guest Jamie McIntyre.
Bank Holiday Monday, May 4th, brings the spectacular K-Pop Superslayers, a large-scale production inspired by K-Pop Demon Hunters. After a lightning-fast sell-out, a new additional show has been added for Sunday, June 7th, highlighting massive demand for the production.
The final weekend of May turns the Castle into a hub of Irish music, starting with The Coronas on Friday, May 29th, followed by The Stunning on Saturday, May 30th, joined by very special guests Something Happens.
June opens with one of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time: Pixies. Celebrating 40 years, they will perform on May 31st and June 1st — and both shows are sold out, reflecting extraordinary demand for the band’s landmark anniversary performances.
on Saturday, June 6th, acclaimed Irish band Bell X1 return to the Castle stage, promising a powerful night of musicianship and fan-favourite hits.
With eight major shows spanning rock, pop, nostalgia, indie, and international spectacle, the 2026 “Live at the Castle” lineup is set to be one of the most unforgettable yet. Fans are encouraged to secure remaining tickets early, as several events are already sold out or close to capacity.
