Live at the Iveagh Gardens

An open-air concert in a garden close to the centre of Dublin. Live at the Iveagh Gardens is a summer series of separate performances, with the atmosphere of a park show and the convenience of a city stay.

A garden evening rather than a camping weekend

The attraction is the setting as much as the format: choose an artist, spend the evening outdoors and return to your Dublin base afterwards. The 2026 programme included Elvis Costello and The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, but a previous booking is not evidence of a return next year.

Each show has its own booking

The concert pages carry separate dates and ticket links. Check the individual show for admission conditions and price before arranging a group outing. Other events can use the same gardens, so match the event name as well as the venue when purchasing tickets.

Allow time around the gardens

Treat this as an outdoor performance and bring suitable layers for the evening. Arrange your meeting point outside the entrance, save the ticket offline and check the late transport options before heading in. Use the access details issued for your concert rather than the normal daytime garden opening hours.
