Toales set for another jam-packed week of lively music in Dundalk

Kismet Theatre Company brings its signature Misfits Cabaret back to Toales on Thursday following a successful Culture Night event last week.

A cast of local talent mix the spirit of a live rock show with the colour and character of musical theatre with audiences invited to sing along, laugh and cheer throughout the show.

Doors open at 7.30pm, with tickets available at €15, plus a €1.50 booking fee, from An Táin Arts Centre or by calling 042 933 2332.

The Ska Heads are set to revive the early 80s ska sound in Toales, Dundalk on Friday.

The seven-piece Dublin band recreate the atmosphere of the original ska clubs with a lively set packed with classics from the likes of Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners, The English Beat and many more.

Audiences should expect big choruses, bouncing basslines and a lively dancefloor.

Formed in 2026, The Ska Heads are one of the newest additions to Ireland’s live ska scene, celebrating the music that brought punk attitude, Jamaican rhythms and irresistible pop hooks together under the black-and-white banner of 2 Tone.

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are €10, available now from Eventbrite here.

Toales’ lively week will come to a close with Rory Gallagher tribute, Deuce, on Saturday.

Deuce formed in 2012 and have since perfected the late guitarist’s iconic blend of blues, rock and folk-tinged energy.

It started with three friends who bonded while busking at the Rory Gallagher Festival in Ballyshannon.

The trio will deliver a set filled with Gallagher favourites including Tattoo’d Lady and Bad Penny.

Over the years they’ve performed across Ireland and Europe, gaining a reputation for dynamic live performances that honour the spirit of Gallagher’s original recordings while bringing their own fresh intensity.

Don’t miss a night with one of Ireland’s most dedicated and respected tribute acts as they pay homage to an Irish music icon.
