Dublin welcomes back live music at Iveagh Gardens

James Vincent McMorrow headlined to a crowd of 500. Sorcha Richardson opened the show as special guest.

As the crowd warmly received old favourites and tracks from McMorrow's upcoming album Grapefruit Season, the sense of possibility was in the June air.Thanks to the team in @aerial_ie for this stunning photo! #dronephotography #pilotevents #NCHatIveaghGardens #iveaghgardens pic.twitter.com/Mk0K5wckDo The concert was presented by the National Concert Hall with the support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, the OPW, and Dublin City Council.

Less people than on any nice afternoon weekend in the Phoenix park or St Green really.. just bring some buskers to the parks!

No testing, nothing learned. More pathetic window dressing from a government who give zero shits about the return of arts, music & culture. A massive opportunity intentionally missed by a floundering and inadequate government.

Completely pointless with no antigen testing being used

I wanna know why they didn’t go full lunatic asylum and roll out the plastic bubbles laoneill111

Any wonder no one wants to pay a licence

Cringeworthy.

Missed opportunity to actually gather proper data using antigen

A bit of normality back as he stands there in the open air with a mask on that does nothing to stop any virus. Great days ahead

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

For FCUK sake.. Is this the Green Party idea of having a good night out at a concert… Cop on cathmartingreen and get real.. There was zero learnings from this event other than the crew involved got some well earned employment after almost 15 months.

That's actually embarrassing..

We had 'fun', we had what ISAG and the Social Democrats call 'fun'.

Imagine subjecting people to this utter shite after a pandemic. What's next? Picture This? I'd sooner get covid.

Sweet Jayzus I got a cringy shiver up my spine watching this mess 🤦‍♂️

500 people safely in there pods ... How many toilets did they share?

59 people in hospital out of a population of 5 million the world is laughing at us

Was it any craic though ...

An embarrassment when you look around the world & see sporting events happening with crowds. Ireland an outlier again but not in a good way. RTÉ once again failing to hold the government/NPHET to account.

That looks cat.

PATHETIC

Pathetic and sad ..

More on stage than in the crowd. Do we not observe and share data with other nations who have conducted similar exercises? Are people living in Ireland of a more delicate make-up?

Meanwhile the world continued to rotate on it's axis after 135,000 attended the USA Indy500. Meanwhile in Ireland, it is all, 'careful now, can't risk everyone dying from the worst disease ever, excepting cancer & almost every other disease going'.

I hear the audience really enjoyed it - all 12 of them.

What is the point of this ffs

Embarrassing

Dublin takes one of the largest falls down list of world's most liveable citiesThe capital saw one of the highest ranking drops of all the cities included in the index. Place is a kip these days Place is a dump, getting worse and worse by the day and I guarantee if you asked 10 people age 25 of below would they rather a free house in Dublin or somewhere else in Europe they’d all take a house elsewhere. I’m from Dublin, I hate dublin, the place is a joke The city is a dump, when you take out the tourists and office workers you're left with a filthy city overrun with petty criminals & a stench of urine. It's there for all the see now, everyone I know not from there are doing their best to get out.
