Gang of Four Set for Dublin Show

Gang of Four have announced their first Dublin show in 18 years. The Leeds post-punk greats last played the capital back in 2006, packing out Tripod to underscore their status as one of the UK’s all-time seminal bands.

Now, the current iteration of the band – Jon King on vocals, original drummer Hugo Burnham, bassist Gail Greenwood, and current guitarist, David Pajo of Slint, and many other formations – will play the Button Factory on June 26th 2025, courtesy of Foggy Notions and U:MACK.

Coming five years after the sad passing of founding guitarist Andy Gill, the show is a celebration of Gang of Four’s groundbreaking debut, Entertainment! It will be broken down into two sets: that album played front to back and a second set featuring “the best of the rest.”

You’d be silly to miss it, frankly. Pre-sale via Foggy Notions is this Wednesday, 11th December. General sale is this Friday, 13th December.
