DUG – announce their biggest headline date at The Academy Dublin

Following the success of their sold-out show at The Ambassador Theatre in April rising American-Irish folk duo DUG are back—announcing their biggest headline gig to date at The Academy, Dublin on Wednesday, 29th October 2025.

“Livelong Day”, the 5th track to be released from DUG’s highly anticipated upcoming album, is out now via Claddagh Records or available to stream HERE.

“Recorded onto tape and tracked live, Livelong Day showcases a different side of DUG. Unlike other offerings Livelong Day is heavy, moody and even earthy.  Lyrically the song depicts a drunken dance in a faerie ring, the protagonist comes to his senses mid way through being swung around the mulberry bush and tries convincing himself he’s gonna get out ok.  This is a sort of play on the Irish folktale “The Legend of Knockgrafton”.
