Niall Breslin

Following a sold-out national run last year, Niall Breslin and The Polaris Quartet return this year with a renewed series of performances across Ireland. The tour follows the release of Breslin’s latest album, The Place That Has Never Been Wounded, and new book, and continues a presentation that has emerged as one of the most distinctive offerings in the contemporary Irish music landscape.

Adding larger stages to the 2026 run of shows, Breslin has just announced autumn dates at Vicar Street, University of Limerick, Cathedral of Christ The King, Mulligar, Theatre Royal, and Wexford Opera House.

Built around Breslin’s cinematic compositions, the performances unfold as a fully integrated live work. Music, spoken word, and visual design, are interwoven throughout, with lighting and imagery responding in real time to the players on stage. Rather than functioning as accompaniment, the visual elements shape the pacing and emotional contours of each performance, drawing the audience into a shared, concentrated space.
