Ispíní at Spike Island at Electric Picnic
Ispíní na hÉireann bring their high-octane blend of trad, rock, and razor-sharp wit to the Spike Island Stage, delivering blistering tunes, rowdy banter, and the kind of infectious energy that turns a gig into a full-blown party. Their set promises bold originals, inventive takes on classics, and plenty of laughs along the way.
But the fun won’t stop there—these lads will be hanging around the Spike Island Stage all weekend, jumping into sessions, trading tunes with friends, and fuelling spontaneous late-night madness. If you’re looking for the heart of the festival’s craic, you’ll find it here, pint in hand, surrounded by the sound of strings, pipes, and unfiltered joy. Follow the Spike Island Instagram for all the craic.
Ispíní at Croí at Electric Picnic
Ispíní na hÉireann take to the Croí Stage with their signature whirlwind of trad, rock, and razor-sharp wit. Expect a set bursting with bold originals, inventive spins on old favourites, and enough energy to have the whole crowd moving.
Known for their unpredictable twists and joyous chaos, the lads will be making the Croí Stage their playground for the night—turning songs into stories, tunes into dances, and audiences into partners in mischief. Whether you’re front and centre or listening from the bar, you’ll feel the pull of their unrelenting rhythm and irresistible craic.

London! You ready for round two?
We’re back in the Big Smoke for a Friday night stomp through trad, chaos, and cheeky ballads at the brilliant Gibney’s. It's the Poxtail Soup tour and we’re bringing fresh songs, old favourites, and our usual dose of questionable stage banter.
Our last London gig was rammed and ridiculous — so get down early, grab a pint, and prepare for a sweaty, sausage-fuelled session. You don’t want to miss this one.

This isn't just another gig. Expect a night of wild charm and poetic mayhem, as the lads blend raucous energy with deep-rooted Irish tradition, bold new material from their upcoming album, and plenty of old favourites.
With their signature mix of wit, heart, and social commentary, Ispíní na hÉireann's live shows are nothing short of legendary — and this one will be something else entirely.
Tickets available here (limited number available!)
Ispíní at the Gleneagle Club
Ispíní na hÉireann return to Kerry for the first time since their unforgettable set at Other Voices 2022, and this time they’re bringing the full force of their Poxtail Soup album release tour to the Gleneagle Club in Killarney.
Expect a night of high-energy trad-rock chaos, sharp social commentary, and music that moves between hilarity and heartbreak. Led by frontman Tomás Mulligan and backed by a rotating cast of some of Ireland’s finest trad and folk musicians, Ispíní na hÉireann have earned a reputation for turning every gig into a party—and every party into something slightly unhinged.
This is their Kerry debut show in a full live venue setting, and it's set to be one of the wildest nights on the tour. Come for the sausages, stay for the soul.
