Saturday 28th March - Wildfire Hysteria + Burn Down The House - Doors at 8pm - Admission €10

A big night of live rock lands at Toales, Dundalk on Saturday, March 28, as WILDFIRE HYSTERIA and Burn Down The House deliver a no-nonsense double bill.

Doors are at 8pm, tickets €10, with two rising Irish acts set to bring serious volume to an intimate room.

Dublin’s Wildfire Hysteria are all about the now — big beats, soaring riffs and raw, punchy vocals.

Formed in 2024, they channel 90s attitude with a modern edge, backed by years of experience on stages across Louth, Dublin and beyond.

With studio sessions lined up with Peter Baldwin at Black Mountain Studios and Marc Carolan at Blackshore Studios, the band are gearing up for a run of new releases in 2026.

Their upcoming single “Everything As It Should Be” drops in April and will get its live debut in Toales on the night.

Joining them are Burn Down The House, a hard-hitting four-piece from Naas, known for tight chemistry, sharp riffs and straight-up rock energy.

Loud, direct and built for the stage — this one won’t hang about.

Sunday 29th March - Motorwrecked + support  The River Filth. Doors at 6pm - Admission €10/€12

Get set for a no-holds-barred blast of rock ‘n’ roll as Toales Sunday Session unleashes Motörwrecked, the UK’s premier Motörhead tribute, live on Sunday, 29 March at 6PM. Tickets are €10 in advance or €12 on the door.

Straight out of South Devon, Motörwrecked bring the full force of Motörhead to the stage — loud, fast, and filthy.

These are seasoned players on a mission, tearing through the classics, deep cuts and crowd-shaking anthems with relentless energy and zero compromise.

They’ve earned their stripes on big stages including Bloodstock Open Air and Camden’s Underworld, building a reputation for shows that hit hard and don’t let up with a full-throttle set built on pure volume, attitude, and that signature “everything louder than everything else” mindset. This is one for the die-hards.

Support comes from The River Filth, a Dublin hard rock ‘n’ roll outfit delivering a gritty 70s groove with a modern bite.

Note the early doors opening at 6pm
