Music lovers are in for a treat at Toale's Live Venue in Dundalk
Here's what's going on this week in Toales Rock Bar & Live Venue in Dundalk this week.
Thursday 4th December - Fireside Sessions presents Eugene O'Hanlon + Brian Casley - Starts 9pm - Free admission.
Every Thursday The Fireside Sessions keeps the spotlight firmly on what this acoustic club does best: showcasing original music from artists who carve out their own space in the Dundalk scene.
It’s become one of the town’s most reliable gatherings for genuine songwriting, a place where new voices, experiments, and fresh stories land in front of a room that actually listens — and the fact that admission is always free makes it an easy win for anyone craving new music without the usual barriers.
Thursday 4th December brings Eugene O’Hanlon to the Fireside stage, a performer known for songs that balance craft, ease, and a storyteller’s instinct.
He’s been part of the region’s songwriting fabric for years, and his material has that timeless, lived-in quality that makes you lean forward without being asked.
Alongside him, Brian Casley adds his own style — thoughtful, melodic, and grounded in the kind of heartfelt folk that’s been defining the quieter corners of the Dundalk music community.
He’s one of those artists who slips between genres without ever losing the thread of what matters: the song itself.
Things get underway at 9pm, and with free admission, it’s the perfect Thursday night stop for anyone who wants to hear something new, support local musicians, and soak up that warm, low-lit Fireside atmosphere.
Saturday 6th December – Shades of Lizzy (Thin Lizzy Tribute) - Doors 8pm - Tickets at Eventbrite
Get ready for a night of pure, old-school rock ’n’ roll as Shades of Lizzy, Ireland’s premier Thin Lizzy tribute act, return to Toales Live Venue on Saturday, December 6th.
Capturing the raw power, twin-guitar magic, and unmistakable swagger of Phil Lynott and co., Shades of Lizzy delivers a show that’s as close as it gets to the real thing.
Expect all the classics — The Boys Are Back in Town, Whiskey in the Jar, Emerald, Jailbreak — performed with passion, precision, and that unmistakable Dublin-born attitude.
With years of touring under their belts and a reputation for faithful, high-energy performances, Shades of Lizzy have earned a loyal following across Ireland and beyond.
Their attention to detail, soaring harmonies, and fiery guitar work make every show a celebration of one of rock’s most iconic bands.
This is a night for the diehards, the dreamers, and anyone who still believes rock music should be loud, proud, and full of heart.
Don’t miss it — Saturday 6th December, Toales, Dundalk. Tickets €10 via Eventbrite or €12 on the night.
