This Thursday, prog rock royalty Focus play Whelan's, Dublin

The band from the 1960/70’s that just keeps giving.

Featuring Thijs Van Leer, Pierre Van Der Linden, Menno Gootjes and Udo Pannekeet, Focus return to UK and European concert stages during 2025/26.

Fresh from a successful 2024 which included the release of their new studio album Focus 12, extensive European/UK touring as well as a month-long tour of the USA (alongside Asia, Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash and Curved Air), they will traverse Europe to give their loyal fans what they always want – a good time, and timeless music.

Each song breathtakingly unique, and each performance different to the one before.
We have had 50 years of this amazingly spectacular show, and Focus have achieved so much in this time span.

From Polydor’s record plant closing to other bands, to press nothing but Focus for ten days to meet demand, to being a favourite of Bob Harris on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and to holding positions in the UK top ten charts in both singles and albums.

And now for the interesting facts of Focus:

Focus have featured in the orchestra pit for Victor Spinetti’s musical Hair; have claimed a knighthood; soundtracked on a 2010 football World Cup commercial featuring Wayne Rooney; and not forgetting that Hocus Pocus was featured in the iconic car chase sequence, after the bank heist in 2017 movie Baby Driver and also featured in Disney’s Classic Trolls World Tour movie, 2020 The men of Focus are looking forward to seeing you all at their favourite venues, and a few exciting new ones too.

Ciaran Cribbin is set to play a full band show at Whelan's on Sunday 6th September.

Ciaran spent a few years as the lead singer of INXS — over 50 shows around the world — and I co-wrote "Celebration" for Madonna, which picked up a Grammy nomination. He also wrote "Hey Baby Doll," the song Al Pacino performs in Danny Collins, and he's written with Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, members of INXS, and Francis Rossi of Status Quo along the way.

On the night Ciaran and his band will be playing the INXS hits, "Celebration," "Hey Baby Doll," and his own songs — including my new single "Tighten Up The Knot."
