The Highstool Prophets head to Dublin for new live show this autumn
Get ready to mark your calendar – The Highstool Prophets are bringing their high-energy new show to Dublin on 1 November 2025. Known as one of Ireland’s busiest live bands, the six-piece collective is set to take the stage at the Ambassador Theatre, as part of a select run of autumn and early winter dates.
For over a decade, The Highstool Prophets have carved a unique space in the Irish music landscape. Fusing folk, traditional Irish ballads, and a splash of country grit, their sound is as familiar as it is fiery. Hailing originally from County Offaly, the band quickly gathered a cult following through tireless gigging in pubs, clubs and festivals across the country. It is that mix of skilled musicianship and craic-filled showmanship that helped turn local shows into national events.
Their 2023 album, “Back on the Barrel,” became an unexpected hit, peaking inside the top 20 on the Irish Albums Chart. Several tracks, including “Whiskey at Breakfast” and “Seventeen Pints Later,” have become crowd favourites. Their storytelling is rooted in Irish life: part humour, part heartbreak, always authentic.
When I last caught them live at a packed hall in Kilkenny, the band had the audience on its feet before the first chorus had ended. They have a rare knack for working the crowd – like veterans with the energy of newcomers.
Dublin is set to get a taste of this experience as the acclaimed band returns to the capital. Their Ambassador Theatre date promises songs from their latest tour setlist, a few deep cuts fans will love, and quite possibly, a few unexpected covers (last year’s surprise version of Oasis’s “Cigarettes and Alcohol” went viral on Facebook).

The show is part of a wider Irish run, with dates in Belfast and Killarney, but Dublin’s electric mix of student crowds, locals and die-hard fans should make 1 November one of the standout gigs. For fans wanting a primer before the big night, The Irish Post has a great piece on the band’s rise here and you can catch some of their recorded work on RTE.
With that in mind, let us take a closer look at the venue itself. And why ticket demand is already heating up…
