Summer is finally here, folks, and with that some of the biggest names in music are heading to our shores.
While the country were left a bit out in the cold surrounding some tours, including Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour and Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National tour, that doesn't mean that the country will be missing out entirely — with some artists coming here for the first time in six months to over 15 years.
Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Brat summer has extended to 2025, and thank god for that as Charli XCX is finally getting her flowers (where were ye when Pop 2 was released, HUH!?)
In what's been a huge upgrade since she last graced our shores, the PARTY GIRL has gone from the 3Olympia Theatre to Malahide Castle; where over 20,000 will be revelling in the fun sleaze that her latest, critically acclaimed outing has brought. Long may brat summer continue.

The biggest star to come out of the UK this decade, the three-time Grammy winner's tour to promote her latest album Radical Optimism will stop off in the Aviva Stadium for one night only; right before she headlines a massive show at Wembley.
Ms Lipa (yes, that's her actual birth name) will be heading to Dublin with plenty of hits in her bag, ranging from her older hits such as New Rules and IDGAF to her new bops, including Training Season and Houdini.
Justin Timberlake at Marlay Park – June 28

Well, it turns out the tour wasn't ruined after Justin's arrest last year, as Justin will be heading to Dublin at the end of June.
Celebrating three decades since he shot to worldwide fame with *NSYNC, and over 12 years since his last gig in Ireland when he headlined Phoenix Park; with him expected to go through the hits over his illustrious career, as well as new songs from his latest album, Everything I Thought I Was.
Lana del Rey at the Aviva Stadium – June 30

Talk about a whiplash from Dua Lipa just three days before.
The crooning 'sad girl hours' of Lana del Rey will be gracing Landsdowne Road at the end of June, and while her latest album Classic isn't expected to be released before the show, some of her classics including from Born to Die, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, and her two latest singles.

With her career going from strength to strength following the release of HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, Billie Eilish is showing no signs of slowing down; with her coming back to Dublin for the first time in two years as part of her mammoth world tour.
With her music reaching all ages and all demographics, of course it's no surprise that this will be one of the hottest tickets this summer.
Oasis at Croke Park – August 16 & 17

It's finally happening. 16 years after the most acrimonious split of all time between feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, the guns fell silent, and they've finally reunited.
Those of us who were lucky enough to survive the Ticketmaster wars (albeit paying extortionate pricing due to the *ahem* 'dynamic' pricing), the lads are finally back; with their two gigs in Croke Park set to be the biggest gig in Ireland not only this summer, but in 2025.
Robbie Williams at Croke Park – August 23

Could this be another wrinkle in the three-decade long feud between Robbie and Oasis after that call-out at the BRITs all those years ago? Probably not. But still a fun coincidence that Robbie will just miss the boys, eh?
After three and a half decades in the limelight, Robbie returns to Croker for the first time in nearly 20 years — ironically longer than Oasis — with over 80,000 people set to flock to hear the hits of the former Take That man.

‘Spineless' – Meg Nicholls' verdict on Philip Byrnes' infamous fall as dad Charles breaks silence after horse is sold
BRAVE Meg Nicholls was praised by punters for giving her no-holds-barred verdict on Philip Byrnes' infamous Wexford fall. The jockey's 'soft' unseat at the last when clear on Redwood Queen has sparked an Advertisement Statement issued as officials launch probe into jockey's final-flight fall on leading horse who drifted in market The mare, who has since been sold to a new trainer having belonged to Philip's brother Cathal, was a huge drifter in the betting before the off. New footage has emerged of the flashpoint, which saw Philip, whose dad Charles trained the horse, fall to his knees after the horse successfully jumped the last. Nicholls was involved in a discussion with Sun Racing's Matt Chapman and former Grand National-winning rider Mick Fitzgerald last weekend. And Meg, daughter of iconic trainer Paul, didn't hold back when giving her opinion of what happened. Advertisement Quizzed by Fitzgerald: "So come on then, what are you saying, that he jumped off?" Meg without hesitation hit back: "I think it looks like it. "Watching that it looks as if he is preparing… his knee is out already. He is pushing himself out the left hand side. "It looks as if he is trying to come off." Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Nicholls' analysis was lauded as 'superb' by ITV viewers - but some disagreed with Fitzgerald. One took exception to his 'spineless' verdict of the incident, while others thought he offered valuable insight into what the jockey was trying to do. Either way, as Byrnes senior finally broke his silence on the incident and used the opportunity to hit out at those doubting his son. Advertisement He said: "It's obvious what happened. "He was trying to get the mare to go in and pop it, because obviously she had the race won, and she came up out of his hands and blew him out of the saddle. "There's no one hurting more than Philip about it." All this came as new footage of the fall was shared online. Advertisement The camera, looking down towards the post from the track, focused in on how Byrnes' feet left their irons. Viewing it on Racing TV on Sunday morning, former jockey Adam McNamara conceded it 'looks really bad'. He said: "I'm going to be pro-jockey by nature and perhaps it's naive of me, but I want to believe it was an unseat. "If it was something more sinister why wait until last to do it? Advertisement "It looks really bad - I think it's a really bad bit of riding. "The jockey will say he should never have fallen off that." Stewards originally decided on the day that no further action would be taken over the incident. But it was only after a social media outcry that the IHRB confirmed it was being looked into.

Vegetable orchestra prepares for first gig in Ireland
Oasis, Dua Lipa and Charli XCX are among the big names heading to Ireland for concerts this summer. But Ballyroan Library in Dublin can arguably lay claim to hosting the most 'mouth-watering' gig of them all. The London Vegetable Orchestra come to town on Saturday 7 June, and there won't be a traditional instrument in sight. That's because the ensemble of musicians turn carrots, courgettes and peppers into working instruments to perform famous tunes. Tim Cranmore, a recorder maker by trade, started the unusual orchestra after discovering the story of a Japanese man who crafted the instrument out of carrots. "Well, if you think of a tree which is cylindrical, it grows in the ground, it's got roots, it's got leaves, and the carrot is the same; cylindrical, grows in the ground, strong roots, it's got leaves. So, there's no reason why a carrot should not make a recorder every bit as good as a tree, and in fact they do. In some aspects they're better," he explained. The LVO have performed their renditions of classical music, pop hits and Disney sing-a-longs across the UK and around the world. They have even had an audience with an amused King Charles, who gave the carrot recorder a try himself. They will give two workshops at 'Loud at the Library' for Cruinniú na nÓg, Ireland's national day of free creativity for children and young people. "We'll be performing for the young people, teaching them to make vegetable instruments, and how to play them. It'll be our first trip to Ireland, but hopefully not the last," said orchestra member Patrick Johns.
