Dundalk hard rock outfit Killjoy return to headline Toales on Saturday 7 November, joined by Newry indie rock newcomers Tacoma and local singer-songwriter Sean Gilsenan for a three-act showcase of emerging original talent, with admission just €5.

Winners of Toales’ Battle of the Bands in 2025, Killjoy have quickly established themselves as one of the area’s most promising young rock acts. Drawing inspiration from Van Halen, Thin Lizzy and Arctic Monkeys, the band combine classic rock swagger with grunge attitude and a modern hard rock edge. Inventive guitar work, raw vocals and a commanding stage presence have become their trademarks, earning them a well-deserved reputation on the local live circuit.

Hailing from Newry, Tacoma are an exciting new indie rock outfit making impressive strides on the local scene. Having progressed from open mic nights to larger stages, their recently released EP, The Demos #1, offers a first taste of their original material and marks another step forward for one of Newry’s most promising new acts.

Opening the evening is Sean Gilsenan, whose acoustic performances draw on a background in indie rock and punk, with honest, melodic songwriting that brings a different flavour to the evening’s proceedings.

The show takes place on Toales’ new intimate indoor stage, bringing three original acts together for another affordable night of live music in the heart of Dundalk. Killjoy .music Sean P. Gilsenan Music

The truly unique RIDIBUNDI return for a headline show in Toales on Friday 6 November, bringing their adventurous fusion of traditional Irish music and international influences to the venue’s intimate indoor stage, with support from Dundalk singer-songwriter Alice Robinson.

Formed in 2025, RIDIBUNDI are a collective of multi-instrumentalists whose music draws on the rich traditions of the Oriel region while exploring jazz, blues, Eastern European and Mediterranean sounds. With an impressive collection of instruments including flute, accordion, mandolin, saxophone and clarinet, the band weave together traditional melodies, original arrangements and songs in several languages, creating a sound that refuses to sit neatly in any one genre.

Opening the evening is Dundalk alternative singer-songwriter Alice Robinson, whose atmospheric music combines delicate melodies, cinematic vocals and a darker, more experimental edge. Having released her debut album Meat Hook in 2025, Robinson was also selected as an artist-in-residence at An Táin Arts Centre in 2026. Her distinctive songwriting moves between haunting intimacy and powerful, emotionally charged passages, with flashes of dark humour along the way.

The show takes place in Toales’ new 50-capacity indoor live music room on Crowe Street, Dundalk, on Friday 6 November. Doors open at 9pm, with admission just €5.

DEATH BECOMES THEM – ONE LAST NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN HORRORS AT TOALES!

Who says Halloween has to end on October 31st? The spooky season is getting one final outing at Toales, Dundalk, on Friday 6th November, as “DEATH BECOMES THEM” brings an evening of camp horror, creepy carnival fun and fundraising to Toales, b**r garden.

Organised by Kaz, the event is the first in a series of fundraisers affectionately dubbed “The Aul Chop”.

Taking inspiration from old-school horror films, twisted carnivals and all things wonderfully weird, the night promises a delightfully strange mix of entertainment, with classic carnival games, ring toss, tarot readings, spooky trivia, a murder mystery, cookies, mulled w**e and a few surprises along the way.

Fancy dress is very much encouraged, whether you’re channelling your favourite horror character, a creepy carnival creation or something straight out of a cult classic. Everyone is welcome, so bring your friends, your family and your finest spooky attire!

DEATH BECOMES THEM takes place in the b**r garden of Toales on Friday 6th November, from 7pm to 11pm, with admission just €5.

All proceeds will help support Kaz’s fundraising efforts, but even if you can’t attend or donate, sharing the event or fundraiser can make a real difference - https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-aul-chop-syk9p

One last chance to keep Halloween alive, enjoy a wonderfully weird night out and support a great cause!

The music of Leonard Cohen takes centre stage at Toales on Thursday 5th November at 8PM, as the Fireside Sessions present Tonight Will Be Fine, a special evening celebrating the songs and legacy of one of music’s most influential songwriters.

Taking its name from a track on Cohen’s 1969 album Songs from a Room, the evening features The Stranger Music Players, bringing together a whole host of local musicians for a celebration of the Canadian singer, poet and novelist.

From the haunting beauty of Suzanne and Famous Blue Raincoat to the enduring appeal of Hallelujah, Cohen’s songs have crossed generations and genres, combining dark humour, romance and an unmistakable lyrical voice.

Rather than a conventional tribute show, the evening promises a diverse collection of local acts bringing their own interpretations to Cohen’s remarkable catalogue, celebrating a body of work that continues to inspire musicians around the world.

Please note the earlier-than-usual start time of 8pm on Thursday 5th November at Toales, Crowe Street, Dundalk. As always with the Fireside Sessions, admission is completely FREE.
