The Hot Press Newsdesk
Having been somewhat starved of gigs for the past years, Drogheda celebrates the launch of a purpose-built 800-capicity venue later this month.
Part of the Star & Crescent complex, *Star's state of the art technical facilities includes an 8k rig that you'll be able to hear up the road in Dundalk.
Already confirmed to play there are Hothouse Flowers (February 26); Jack L (March 5); The Undertones (March 27) and Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club (April 11).
