MK sold out his last two shows in Dublin, and now the massive house DJ is returning to the Irish capital. 

The Area 10 show is being held in the Morton Stadium on July 1.

The show is essentially like a mini house festival, with the likes of Route 94, Klangkarussell, Sam Divine and KC Lights joining the line-up.

Rock icons Queen will take to the stage in Dublin's 3Arena later this year.

The band, who will be joined by alternative musician Adam Lambert for the European tour, are hitting Dublin on November 25.

For their brand new European tour, the band are performing an entirely new show with epic production value.

Expect to hear We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, as the band ring in the 40th anniversary of their biggest-selling studio album, News of the World.

According to MCD, Queen drummer and co-founder Roger Taylor says the 2017 tour “will look entirely different to the show we took around before.

"Production has really changed a lot, the things you can do now, you have a much broader palette, the technology has really come along."

"But we don’t use it all. We don’t play to click track. It’s 100 per cent live. We’re planning on doing stuff we either haven’t done before or haven’t done for a long time."

"We started as an albums band, that’s what we were. The fact that we had hits was just a byproduct.”

Tickets for this massive event will be priced from €87 including booking fee, and will be on sale from 9am Friday 21 April via Ticketmaster.

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

It's turning out to be a great year for music fans, and now one more performer is setting his sights on Ireland.

George Ezra has announced that he's taking his tour over to our lovely green isle.

George will play in Belfast on May 26 and in Derry on May 27.

He'll then make his way to Dublin's Olympia on May 29, and carry on to Limerick, where he will play in the Milk Market on May 30.

The singer recently spoke about his hiatus from being in the public eye on Twitter.

He said: "There is no need for me to point out the fact that I’ve been fairly quiet over the last year.

“But I’d like to reassure you all that I’ve been beavering away at what will one day be my second record.

"It took a second to work out what it was that I wanted to write about, and then how to approach the writing and recording process."

We're looking forward to seeing him live!

While we might still be feeling winters icy grip, we're already excited for festival season.

With amazing gigs like The 1975 at Malehide Castle and Forbidden Fruit already lined up, this summer is set to be a great one for live music.

The Summer Series will feature six talented acts over six nights in a set of open-air gigs from July 6-11 2017.

The gig series kicks off with Gregory Porter in July 6, who will be followed by James Vincent McMorrow on July 7 and Bell X1 on July 8.

Next up will be The Pixies on July 9, Two Door Cinema Club on July 20 and rounding out the festival is Alt-J on July 11.

Tickets for Ed Sheeran's two Dublin gigs as part of his worldwide Divided tour sold out in mere minutes. 

Thousands of despairing fans have taken to Twitter in the hours since the gig sold out to express their disappointment.

However all might not be lost, as Ed is being hotly tipped by the bookies to keep his Irish tour rolling.

BoyleSports are offering odds of 1/3 that the superstar will add one more appearance to his Dublin line up, according to the Irish Mirror.

The odds of him adding two extra dates is priced at 4/7. 

The potential additions to the tour make sense, as the singer is taking a three day break between his Dublin and Glasgow gigs, so perhaps Ed will add another date to satiate his Irish fans.

The singer-songwriter is also tipped to play Electric Picnic at  9/4 odds.

Fans camped out overnight to be in with a chance of purchasing the highly coveted tickets. 

While we're keeping our fingers crossed that Ed does decide to add another date, Ticketmaster tweeted back one dismayed fan that there will be "just the two dates" for the line up.

Here's to hoping they change their minds!

The entire country held it's breath as 10am approached, and hundreds of thousands of Ticketmaster tabs were opened in the hopes of getting tickets to the most hotly anticipated gig of the year.

You LOL-ed at the hardcore zealots queuing up in the rain over night for tickets, "sure have they no internet or something?" you thought.

And now you are ticket-less, having joined the throng of thousands of online buyers who failed to get through to Ticketmaster before the gig sold out.

Tragedy has struck and you are still raging from the emotional roller coaster. 

1. Hope

Image result for please

The stomach churning moments up to 10am have passed, and you are finally being held in the ticket queue. 

You haven't been this nervous since getting your Leaving Cert results, and though you say "I know I haven't a hope of getting them," you are secretly clinging to an intense, hopeful yearning.

It's like the lotto right? It could be you. 

2. False hope

Image result for i am the chosen one

OH MY GOD you're through. 

Okay, time to choose your preferred seating and number of tickets. 

Fingers, toes, and everything else remains crossed.

3. Denial

"Sorry, there are no tickets of this type available."

Cue manic laughter as you frantically refresh the page, change your preference to tiered seating and think "someone might have let their tickets go when they saw the bloody price, it's possible right? Right?"

4. Despair

"Why have you forsaken me cruel world?"

"What have I done to deserve this cosmic ridicule? Am I not a good and kind person, a contributing member of society who deserves to see Ed live?"

5. Anger

At this point you've Snapchatted your friends, who are possibly still stuck in the despair tier of emotion, a picture of the sold out gig on Ticketmaster and you are RAGING.

"Why didn't I queue up in the lashing rain at 2am like I told myself I should have?"

6. Anger at Ed

Like, hello Ed Sheeran? 

You know you are beloved in Ireland and you teased us mercilessly since your return with your Irish-themed album.

There's even a song called Galway Girl for crying out loud, you should have know that you would have sold out a full week of gigs never mind two poxy nights in the 3 Arena. 

7. Acceptance

Even though we all know you're lying you yourself and everyone else, saying that you don't care that you didn't get tickets to the gig of the year can help soften the sting.

And you'll see it all on Snapchat, right?

We all know that sometimes the best way to get your mind off a break-up, is to get to work, and it seems like that's what Danny O'Reilly is going to do.

Just as the news broke of his break-up with Holly Carpenter yesterday, The Coronas front man is set to play a gig in Galway today – absolutely free.

But if you're there at the moment, you better be quick because he's set to take to the stage at 2pm outside Enable Ireland on High Street (opposite Sonny Molloy's bar).

The Front Door announced the news earlier today. “If you are in town be sure to call in or tag any friends that are fans!”

If only we could get a helicopter down…

We love a good gig here in Shemazing! HQ, but this one looks set to be the gig of the year – and it's for a brilliant cause.

Syria's Vibes, a non-profit campaign to raise much needed funds for Syrian medical supplies and children is launching a music event on the three floors of the Grand Social with live performances and top DJs set to take the stage at 8.00pm on October 7.

The event is hosted by Dubliner DJ Calvin James Sweeney, co-founder of The SCOOP Foundation (Supporting Children Out of Poverty) who has spent the last 6 months living and volunteering as a medical assistant in Syria.

The foundation aims to draw on the universally shared passion for music by hosting DJ events and asking musicians and the general public alike to hold their own events with the aim to generate as many donations as possible.

Acts set to perform next Friday are:

  • Interskalactic (9 piece ska / party band)
  • Contour (electronic)
  • Zaska (8 piece funk)
  • Dogs (electronica)
  • DJ Deece
  • Malibu Club
  • Calvin James
  • Charlie Garrett
  • Long Island Sound
  • AJ
  • Boots & Kats

If you fancy heading along to the gig, we have TWO VIP passes up for grabs over on our Facebook and Instagram page.

The prize includes attendance for two at the VIP pre dinner in the neighbouring Woollen Mills restaurant, 2 passes for the Syria’s Vibes event and a copy of the highly anticipated SCOOP Art cook book which provides recipes which combine passions of both food and art for a very worthy cause.

We'll be there. Will you?
