Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh announce Picture This – to play Heineken® Big Top

Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh today announced that Picture This will take to the stage of the Heineken® Big Top on Monday 21 July 2025.

Known for their electrifying live shows, Picture This performed to over 60,000 fans across sold-out shows in Dublin, Belfast and Cork in 2024. Their latest album, Parked Car Conversations, soared to Number 2 on the Irish Album Charts earlier this, also enjoying success in Germany and the UK.

Parked Car Conversations marked a new chapter in the journey of Picture This and cemented their status as genre-defying trailblazers in the world of music. Their newest single Middle of Love – an emotional collaboration with singer-songwriter Dean Lewis – is now available.

Almost a decade after the success their debut release, Picture This – Ryan Hennessy, Jimmy Rainsford, Owen Cardiff and Cliff Deane – has amassed over 450 million streams. In 2018, they became the first band to sell out a whopping five nights at Dublin’s 3Arena.

With legions of adoring fans, a sting of non-stop heartbreak anthems and upbeat pop bangers, Picture This will bring their emotionally charged, energetic and explosive live show to Galway next summer on Monday 21 July at the Heineken Big Top.
