Irish Presale Calendar 2027: Dublin and Beyond

What each row of the Irish presale calendar tells you

The status column uses five labels. "Presale" with a weekday and date means a confirmed early window is still to come, while "General sale" with a date means the public release is next. "On sale since" shows that the general sale has already taken place; tickets may or may not remain, and the agent's page is the place to check. "Presale held" marks tours where an early window happened but no general sale date has been verified, and "Sale dates not announced" covers tours that are confirmed but have not yet published ticket details. Beside every tour sits a 🔔 Alert me button. Tap it, leave an email address, and we will write to you when a presale, general sale or new Irish date is recorded for that tour, saying when it opens and which channel runs it. The alert does not include a code, because genuine codes come only from the official channel, and it cannot guarantee tickets; its purpose is to give you time to register and prepare.

Dublin, county and festival dates in one Irish presale calendar

The table does not split dates by venue size, so a single-night club show in Dublin sits alongside a fifteen-date county tour and a stadium concert. That mix is deliberate, because it reflects how Irish touring actually works. Mike Denver's 2027 tour, for instance, covers fifteen Irish dates between January and April 2027 in places such as Carlow, Clonmel, Kildare, Kerry and Meath, and it went on general sale in January 2026 with no presale. Daniel O'Donnell's two Kerry dates in September 2027 and Cliona Hagan's Kerry show in March follow a similar pattern, selling directly through Ticketmaster without early windows. At the other end, Sam Fender's Dublin stadium date and Fontaines D.C.'s two nights at Slane carry the full sequence of presales and general sale. When scanning the table, look at the number of shows and the places listed first: they tell you whether a row is likely to be a fast, crowded sale or a steady regional one.

Timing patterns in the Irish presale calendar

Thirteen of the Irish tours in the table have a verified presale date, and their timing is consistent. Eight of those first windows opened on a Wednesday, three on a Tuesday and one on a Monday. General sales show an even stronger habit: 35 of the 42 dated public sales took place on a Friday, with five on a Wednesday and one on a Thursday. The median gap between the first presale and the general sale is two days, so the most common Irish sequence is a Wednesday morning early window followed by a Friday morning public release. Sales usually open at 9am or 10am Irish time, the same clock time as in Britain. That rhythm makes planning straightforward: when a tour is announced on a Monday or Tuesday, assume the decisive moments will come later that same week, and check the row again on Tuesday evening in case a presale has been added overnight. A quiet Monday does not mean a quiet week.

Same-day and next-day windows in the Irish presale calendar

Some Irish rows show very short gaps, and these are the ones that catch people out. Almost Monday's Dublin show on 20 January 2027 had its presale and general sale on the same day, Friday 18 September 2026, which leaves almost no time to react once the presale is announced. James Blunt's Airplane Mode Tour 2027 Dublin date had a Live Nation presale on Tuesday 8 September 2026 and the general sale the next day, a Wednesday. Charli XCX's Music, Fashion, Film Tour Dublin date, on 13 February 2027, ran its presale on Wednesday 16 September and the public sale on Friday 18 September. Harry Styles' three Dublin dates in August 2027 were unusual in starting on a Monday, 14 September 2026, with the general sale on the Wednesday. When the gap is this short, an alert set before the tour announcement is far more useful than one set afterwards, because by then the only window left may be the general sale itself.

How far ahead the Irish presale calendar runs

Irish tickets for 2027 started selling long before 2026 was over. Across the tours in the table, the median time between the general sale and the first show is 251 days, slightly more than eight months. That figure hides wide variation. Cliona Hagan's Kerry date on 7 March 2027 went on sale on Wednesday 15 October 2025, nearly seventeen months ahead, and Mike Denver's county tour opened in January 2026. Those long lead times are typical of theatre and hotel-ballroom circuits, where venues book well in advance and loyal audiences buy early. Arena tours usually sit closer to the median, with sales in late summer or autumn for shows the following winter and spring, while stadium and open-air shows for summer 2027 have been going on sale through the autumn of 2026. Short lead times do exist, mainly for club shows, but for most Irish rows the important takeaway is that by the time a 2027 date feels close, the sale itself will long since have happened.

Month by month: the shape of the 2027 Irish presale calendar

The month bars below the table show when the tracked tours begin. April 2027 is currently the busiest starting month with ten tours, followed by June with eight, January and February with seven each, and May with six. March, July and September each have four, while August and October have one apiece. Spring is strong because many arena tours schedule their Dublin stop at the start or end of a British and European leg, and early-year months fill with country and theatre circuits. The summer figures are lower than you might expect for festival season, but several of those rows represent very large events with multiple nights, and many outdoor shows for 2027 have not yet been announced at the time of writing. The thin autumn reflects the timing of announcements rather than a quiet touring season: autumn arena runs are commonly revealed in the spring and early summer before, so the right-hand side of the chart is likely to grow during 2027.

Summer weekends on the Irish presale calendar

The summer rows already in the table show the range of what an Irish summer can hold. Sam Fender plays a Dublin stadium date on 1 July 2027, with an album and promoter presale on Wednesday 28 October 2026 and the general sale two days later. Fontaines D.C. have two open-air nights at Slane on 26 and 27 June 2027, which went on general sale on Thursday 10 September 2026. Harry Styles' Together, Together Tour 2027 plays three Dublin dates from 18 to 21 August, sold after American Express, artist and Live Nation presales. Kingfishr have dates in Dublin and Limerick between June and July, Sombr plays Dublin on 15 June, and Noah Kahan's The Last Of The Bugs World Tour has two Dublin nights in mid-July. Summer events of this size often add further dates or release extra tickets after the first sale, so a row with an "On sale since" label is still worth keeping an alert on if you missed the original window.

Partners named in the Irish presale calendar

Where we could verify the presale partners for Irish dates, Live Nation is the most frequent, appearing on ten tours, followed by artist presales on seven. Promoter windows and Three presales each appear twice, and album, American Express, venue, Spotify and O2 Priority windows once each. The single O2 Priority entry is a reminder that some joint UK and Ireland announcements list partners for the whole tour; O2 Priority is a British scheme, so the Irish allocation on such tours usually runs through other routes. On the platform side, the table's Irish rows are overwhelmingly sold through Ticketmaster, with Live Nation presale pages attached on ten tours. These counts reflect only the windows we could confirm, so treat them as a minimum. They still give a useful rule of thumb: for an Irish arena date promoted by a major company, expect an artist window and a promoter window before the general sale, and check whether a Three window has been added.

Combined windows in the Irish presale calendar

Several Irish rows show more than one partner sharing the same early day. First Aid Kit's Dublin show on 18 January 2027 combined artist, promoter, Spotify and Three presales on Wednesday 7 October 2026, two days before the general sale on Friday 9 October. Rod Stewart's Final Encore date in Dublin on 23 April 2027 used artist, Live Nation and venue presales on Tuesday 29 September, ahead of a Friday 2 October public sale. Damien Rice's O 25th Anniversary Tour, with two Dublin nights in March 2027, held an artist presale on Wednesday 21 October 2026 before the general sale on Friday 23 October, and André Rieu's Dublin date on 10 September 2027 used a Three presale in the same week. When several partners open on the same morning, each usually holds its own allocation, so qualifying for two of them can give you two attempts, but the per-person ticket limit for the date normally applies across all of them combined.

Irish presale calendar entries that share a week with Britain

Many rows in this table have a twin on the British calendar, because Dublin is often the first or last stop of a UK and Ireland leg. Gracie Abrams plays Dublin on 19 and 20 April 2027 before Glasgow, London and Manchester; Nothing But Thieves open their 2027 run in Dublin on 2 February before British dates from 4 February; Adéla plays Dublin on 13 and 14 January before moving to Glasgow, London and Manchester. These tours usually put Irish and British dates on sale in the same week, often on the same Friday morning, but the partners can differ. Adéla's Dublin dates, for instance, had a verified presale on Wednesday 26 August 2026 before the 28 August general sale. Irish dates sell in euro through Irish event pages, so compare totals including fees rather than headline prices, and check both calendars if you can travel. The UK presale calendar lists the British side of these tours.

What the Irish presale calendar is still waiting for

At the time of writing, only one Irish row carries an upcoming window: Sam Fender's Dublin stadium date, with presales on Wednesday 28 October 2026 and the general sale on Friday 30 October. Every other tour in the table is either on sale already or awaiting details. We expect that to change over the coming months as further 2027 tours are announced, but we do not add rows for tours that are rumoured, implied by past habits or reported without official confirmation. Large summer events in Ireland, including stadium and open-air concerts, are commonly announced in the autumn and winter before, and some festivals publish their line-ups in stages. When a new Irish date is confirmed, its row appears with whatever is known, sometimes only "Sale dates not announced", and the alert button becomes available straight away. If you are waiting for a specific artist with no row yet, our main alert form on this page can notify you if Irish dates are added.

Irish presale calendar FAQ

The answers below deal with the calendar as a tool: what is included, how it relates to other pages and how to act on what it shows. Questions about specific presale schemes, such as Three+ or promoter mailing lists, and about the Sale of Tickets Act are covered on our Irish country guide and our resale rules page. The calendar is built from published announcements and agent listings, and we neither sell tickets nor hold or share any access codes. Every legitimate code or access link comes from the official channel running the window concerned, whether that is an artist's mailing list, a promoter, a mobile network app or a card issuer. What the table adds is a single view of the timing for the whole Irish 2027 season, with alerts for individual tours. If something looks out of date, the official announcement takes priority, and the row should catch up at the next refresh once the new details can be verified.

Are Belfast dates on the Irish presale calendar?

No. Belfast is part of the United Kingdom, and its dates sell through the British market, in sterling, often with British partners such as O2 Priority. For that reason, Belfast shows appear on the UK calendar rather than this one, which covers the Republic of Ireland only. The distinction matters for planning, because a tour that visits both Belfast and Dublin may put the two dates on sale with different presales, different currencies and sometimes different start days, and the resale rules also differ between the two jurisdictions. If you are flexible about which city you attend, check both calendars: the Belfast row may show a window that opens before or after the Dublin one, giving you two chances. Many tours in our data, including those by Editors, Passenger, Kingfishr and Amble, visit both cities, so the overlap is common. Just remember that each date has its own ticket limit and its own queue on the day of sale.

Why does an Irish presale calendar row show no presale?

Many Irish tours simply do not use one. Of the 52 tours in the table, only 13 have a verified presale date, while 42 have a verified general sale. Country, Irish music and theatre circuits, in particular, often go straight to a public sale, as Mike Denver, Cliona Hagan and Daniel O'Donnell did for their 2027 dates. In other cases a presale may have taken place without being publicly documented, for example a short window for a venue's newsletter subscribers, and we only record windows we can verify. A row with no presale information is therefore not necessarily incomplete; it may accurately reflect a tour that sold only through the general sale. If you would like to know about any early access that does appear, follow the tour with the 🔔 Alert me button. For rows already marked "On sale since", the general sale has happened, and remaining tickets, if any, will be available through the agent and the official resale facility.

Can I use the Irish presale calendar to plan travel to Dublin?

Yes, with sensible caution. The table shows confirmed concert dates months in advance, which helps if you are travelling from elsewhere in Ireland, from Britain or from overseas and want to book transport and accommodation early. Dublin hotels can become expensive on major concert nights, especially when stadium events coincide with sporting fixtures, so knowing the dates early is useful. However, it makes sense to secure your ticket before committing to non-refundable bookings, since high-demand Irish presales can sell out quickly and there is no guarantee that a later window will have stock. Check the date and venue on the agent's event page, because the table lists places rather than full venue details. When buying from outside the eurozone, make sure your card will approve a euro payment. Finally, keep your alert active after buying, as it will also tell you if the promoter adds a date or changes sale details for the tour.

What happens to a row after the concert in the Irish presale calendar?

Once all the Irish dates on a tour have taken place, the row no longer serves much purpose for buyers, and the table is periodically tidied so that it concentrates on shows still to come. Before the concert, a row stays visible even if the general sale was long ago, because tickets can return through the official resale facility, production releases and added dates right up to the show. For designated events under Irish law, resale through official channels is capped at the original price, which makes checking the exchange worthwhile in the final weeks. If a show is postponed or rescheduled, the row will reflect the new date once it is officially confirmed, and an alert will be sent to anyone following the tour. Cancellations are handled the same way. For refunds or changes on a ticket you already hold, contact the ticket agent directly, since the calendar records sale timing and status but does not process orders or hold any customer bookings.
