Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas Feat. Cicada
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
3 May 2026
Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas featuring Cicada at Whelan’s, Dublin. Experience a powerhouse night of Irish-Americana and indie-folk.

Kevin Quigley & The Great Ideas bridge the gap between heartfelt storytelling and roots-rock grit. Described by Hot Press as having "cracked the code" of Irish Americana, their sound blends the stomping energy of CCR with a runaway fiddle. Expect a fusion of Bob Dylan’s poetic soul and the raw edge of The Frames.

Support comes from Cicada, a Dublin indie-folk group blending Irish and Italian roots. Known for rich vocal harmonies and Mediterranean warmth, their sound echoes Fleetwood Mac and Anúna. With their debut EP due Summer 2026, they are the ones to watch this festival season.

Don't miss this blend of authenticity and stomping energy!
