Vicar Street
is a mid-sized concert and events venue in Ireland, located on Thomas Street, Dublin 8. Its capacity is estimated at 950 for seated performances, and between 1500 and 1,600 for standing gigs.
Since opening in 1998, the venue has become a popular setting for a wide range of acts including stand-up comedy, drama performances and a variety of concerts. Major international recording artists have performed in Vicar Street (such as Bob Dylan in 2000 and Neil Young in 2003). It hosts the Choice Music Prize ceremony in February each year. [1]
Because of its intimate size, the venue is one looked on with warmth by fans and acts alike. Many acts have recorded some of their live material there, such as Josh Ritter, Des Bishop, Mundy, Christy Moore and The Frames. Occasionally the venue is used to accomodate higher attendances than expected at smaller venues. In 2008, Canadian indie rock band, Wolf Parade's November 29 show in Andrew's Lane Theatre was moved to Vicar Street. [2] Also performing at Vicar Street in 2008 are The Zutons. [3] Bell X1 play two shows in November to celebrate the venue's tenth anniversary. [4]
