Whelan's have confirmed their first two headline acts for August reopening - Lovin Dublin

Whelan’s have confirmed their first two headline acts for August after confirming their reopening date yesterday.

The Wexford Street live music haven announced yesterday that they will be reopening on August 10, with a number of safety measures place, including a reduced new capacity of 88 rather than the pre-pandemic 450.

With that in mind, fans will have to be quick to snap up tickets for Paddy Casey, who will take to the famous stage on Saturday, August 22. A legend of the Dublin live music scene, Casey’s show was confirmed yesterday and you can grab your ticket here.
