About this event

Following the release of their new double single ‘Adalan’, Algerian/Mali Tuareg collective Tinariwen have announced details of The Hoggar tour, which includes a show in 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 25th May 2026.

With their long desert robes and Tuareg turbans or shesh, Tinariwen are the originators of what’s become known as ‘desert blues’, a style of music they themselves call ‘assuf’ which also means ‘longing’ or ‘homesickness’ in the Tamasheq language. Exchanging Kalashnikovs for guitars after participating in the 1990 Tuareg rebellion, Tinariwian really are rock ’n’ roll rebels, drawing people into their growling vocals, spacey guitar lines and clapping rhythms.

Over the past two decades, they’ve been popular and regular guests at festivals all around the world where they’ve done a lot to raise awareness about Tuareg culture and identity.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
