Given the unrest in Dublin City Centre last night, in the interest of patron and staff safety The Academy have taken the precautionary measure to close The Academy tonight, Friday 24 November. They will update you again when they have more news.[11/24/2023 update]
In regard to tonight's MSG performance we are trying to work on an alternative date so please do hold on to your tickets whilst we try to make alternative arrangements.
Belfast show tomorrow, Saturday 25 November, will go ahead as planned as there is no knock on affect to this show.
MSG to perform in the UK & Ireland w/ Night Demon in late 2023 as part of Michael Schenker’s ongoing 50th anniversary "Universal" World Tour
As wide-spanning as the range of musicians contributing to the record, MSG‘s 2022 success studio album "Universal" (released on May 27, 2022 via Atomic Fire) has paved the way for the band and Michael Schenker‘s 50th anniversary world tour to many stages and areas around the globe: Starting with a headlining run across mainland Europe to EU/UK summer festivals, an extensive North American tour as well as Japanese shows, the quintet led by guitar maestro Schenker continues to amaze fans worldwide. Now the time has come for MSG to properly re-visit the shores of the United Kingdom and Ireland for the first time after a pandemic-related break: Taking place from November 23 until December 2, the run will see the band perform a set list full of hits out of Michael Schenker‘s illustrous career in 8 cities. But that’s not all: Not really “Outsider[s]” (as the title of their new record, which was unleashed on March 17 of this year, may let one think) but US based,Metal Hammer (DE) awarded ("Up & Coming" in 2017) squad NIGHT DEMON, who have consistently been discussed since the release of their self-titled 2012 debut EP and secured a prominent spot in the scene, have been confirmed as very special guests to MSG for all dates (incl. both festival appearances of the trek).
Proudly presented by Academy Events, Born Again Concerts, KK’S Steel Mill & SD Entertainment by arrangement with Dragon Productions & Atomic Fire Records
Current MSG Touring Line-Up:
