Pussy Riot Announce Dublin and Belfast Shows

Pussy Riot

Five years on from their highly-reported performance at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Russian feminist protest punk rock group Pussy Riot have announced they will play shows in Ireland later this year.

Riot Days – which accompanies band member Maria Alyokhina’s written memoir of the same name – is a show directed by Russian theatre director Yury Muravitsky that traces the story of the band’s notorious guerilla protest and what followed in the aftermath.

Marrying punk, electronica, theatre, documentary footage and protest, the show will stop off at Dublin’s Button Factory on Thursday, November 23 and Belfast’s Mandela Hall on Friday, November 24.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 21 at 9am, priced €20/£19.
