Everything you need to know about the singer’s show on Sunday, July 2nd

Irish singer-songwriter Róisín Murphy is returning to Dublin following a sold out show at the 3Olympia Theatre last April. Murphy will bring Trinity College Dublin’s weeklong summer series of gigs to a close; previous acts from the week included The War on Drugs and Bastille. Murphy rose to fame in the 1990s as one-half of electronic duo Moloko; she then went on to have a successful solo career. Her latest album, Róisín Machine, was released in 2020 and was nominated for a Choice Music Prize award. Her new album, Hit Parade, is due for release on September 8th. With hits such as Ramalama (Bang Bang) and Murphy’s Law, Irish fans have much to look forward to this weekend.
