SUMMARY:BIIRD
DESCRIPTION:BIIRD are an all-female trad supergroup that have been mystifying the masses with their lively\, zealous set and uncompromising dedication to Irish design since their inception last year. Bringing the trad session vibe from the corner of a pub to a global audience\, their energy is unmatched.  This is a sisterhood born out of a shared passion for keeping the tradition of Irish music alive\, giving it a new look and keeping it on its toes. When they’re performing together\, a magic flows between them\, and that mix of skill and sorcery make them incomparable. \nAfter appearing on the Late Late Show in February 2025 BIIRD went on to sell out every show on their debut Irish & UK tour\, including their upgraded show at Vicar St… all before even releasing any music.  BIIRD then went on to play Mainstage at ATN to 15\,000 adoring fans.  Having recently signed up with Primary Talent as booking agents 2026 promises to be an incredible year of touring for the supergroup with an extensive Irish\, UK and US tour soon to be announced\, among other hugely exciting ventures. \nThe flock of BIIRDs is made up of Lisa on harp\, banjo\, vocals; Laura Doherty on fiddle and guitar; Zoran Donohoe on concertina; Sal Heneghan on fiddle and harp; Miadhachlughain O’Donnell on flute and vocals; Nicole Lonergan on fiddle; Niamh Hinchy on vocals and synth; Aoife Kelly on cello; Ciara Ní Mhurchú on fiddle; Hannah Hiemstra on drums; and Claire Loughran on fiddle and harp.

SUMMARY:The Tallest Man on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan’s influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan’s covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.”

SUMMARY:Andrea Gibson’s Love Letter from the Afterlife
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fees. \nFrom the team that brought you Come See Me in the Good Light\, join us for Andrea Gibson’s Love Letter from the Afterlife— a multimedia event bringing together film\, live poetry\, music\, orchestral accompaniment\, and intimate storytelling in a celebration of one of the most beloved voices of a generation. \nAt the heart of each evening is Love Letter from the Afterlife\, a stunning film capturing Andrea Gibson’s final live performance: a brilliant\, brave\, tender\, and raucous poetry set recorded at Denver’s Paramount Theatre in 2024. The film was produced by the team behind the Oscar-nominated documentary\, Come See Me in the Good Light. \nThroughout the event\, The Goosebumps Orchestra will perform Blake Neely’s original score live alongside Gibson’s filmed performance\, creating a deeply immersive experience that expands the poetry beyond the screen. Guest artists will join throughout the night\, coupled with film and performances that  will transform each stop into a living\, breathing composition and a singular celebration of Gibson’s work. Threading the night together is Megan Falley—Andrea’s wife\, fellow poet\, who will share intimate stories of love\, collaboration\, humor\, and artistic kinship. Through Falley’s narration\, audiences will discover the relationships and moments of serendipity connecting each guest artist to Andrea’s life and enduring legacy. \nPart concert\, part cinema\, part communal celebration\, the Love Letter from the Afterlife tour invites audiences to experience Andrea Gibson’s work the way it has always been meant to be experienced: together. \n“When I chose to name the show Love Letter from the Afterlife\, I didn’t realize how fully I was describing what was about to happen. At Red Rocks\, ten thousand of us arrived believing we had come to remember Andrea. We left feeling we had heard from them directly. Nothing can replace being in a room with Andrea. But for anyone who never had that good fortune\, I hope this tour offers something I didn’t know was possible: the feeling that Andrea is still speaking\, and speaking directly to you\,” said Falley. \n
