Ahead of supporting Dermot Kennedy in the Aviva Stadium last weekend, Dublin singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe has announced his biggest headline show to date in the 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday, December 5th, 2026.

Due to demand, Aaron has added an extra show on Sunday, December 6th, 2026.

Tickets €31/€36.65 (Inc booking fee and venue facility fee) on sale Friday 17th July at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie.

Bookings subject to a 12.5 per cent service charge per ticket (Max €10.50).

When you watch Aaron Rowe on stage, he anchors himself behind the mic, broad-shouldered and wide-eyed whilst telling stories.

Song histories, personal anecdotes, or just random thoughts and funny observations are all part of the show.

When he first started playing music as a teenager, Aaron tried to keep it a secret.

Almost exactly a year ago, Aaron was singing covers at his regular Saturday gig in The Dame Tavern when one of his future managers walked in and discovered him playing.

A few weeks later, Lewis Capaldi would also stumble into Aaron’s usual Sunday sessions at Cassidy’s on a stag do.

Like fate, a few weeks after that, he would bump into Lewis again whilst performing at an open mic in Nashville, where Lewis introduced him to his best friend, now Aaron’s manager, who just so happened to have listened to his demos that very morning.

Far from an overnight success, after nearly thirteen years of gigging five days a week, his moment finally came. Call it fate, call it what you will, a good story is the least you can expect from a generational voice like Aaron.

His own life experiences leading up to this moment mean there is an unmatched maturity and vulnerability to Aaron’s songwriting. Somehow, he can balance the heart-wrenching with the heartwarming, all the while holding open the door to us into his very
