New Dundalk Ticketmaster outlet for Clanbrassil Street

A new Ticketmaster venue is going to be setup on Clanbrassil Street in Dundalk.

The town has been left without a Ticketmaster outlet since News & Deli in Park Street closed its doors at the start of the year.

Owner Sonja van Kelkeren did cater for fans of Garth Brooks by reopening to sell tickets for his Croke Park shows earlier this year but a more permanent solution was needed to cater for those who still like to queue for tickets to the big concerts.

That solution has now been found with Costcutter in Clanbrassil Street set to take over the running of the Ticketmaster outlet.

Now, all we need is another huge performer to announce a date!

Big Top Carlingford teaser video released

A teaser video for the Big Top Carlingford has just been released.

The Big Top Carlingford is a seasonal, outdoor venue that will be launched this year by Carlingford Marina.

It is a 500 person capacity circus tent that sits in the courtyard of the marina complex and will be home to a whole host of concerts and events throughout the summer months.

The introduction of an outdoor venue for large concerts will be a welcome addition to the area’s already festive atmosphere.
