Oooh – Sounds from a Safe Harbour just added some rather good new shows

By Yay Cork July 22, 2025

The line-up is already bursting with goodies.

But the Sounds from a Safe Harbour (SFSH) crew aren’t finished yet; they’ve just announced another flurry of acts for the return of the festival, marking its landmark 10th anniversary this autumn.

Celebrated for its bold, boundary-pushing curation, SFSH invites audiences into a citywide experience of intimate performances, surprise happenings, and large-scale productions from September 11th to 14th.

Adding to the already huge list of artists on the residency, SFSH will also welcome Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Danny Denton, Peter Broderick, Seán O’Sullivan (Badly Made Books), Thomas Bartlett, and Todd Dahlhoff. Residency artists will feature across surprise pop-ups, new offerings, and special ticketed shows during the weekend.

Newly announced ticketed shows include:

  • God Knows at Nudes. A towering figure in Irish hip-hop, Zimbabwean Irish rapper and Rusangano Family member God Knows delivers blistering lyricism and magnetic stage presence. This performance promises raw honesty, and fierce energy.
  • Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh & Thomas Bartlett at St Anne’s, Shandon. Hailing from Ireland and the US, these two inventive musicians unite in an intimate setting — a spellbinding dialogue between piano and hardanger d’amore, from members of The Gloaming.
  • Bobby Fingers Music Concert at The Kino. A concert with Bobby Fingers. There will be a band. There may be some art. There will definitely be jokes. Maybe a book reading. No raffle (he changed his mind). Expect the unexpected.
  • Meltybrains? Presents This-Topia at The Granary Theatre. Back from the void, Meltybrains? return with an explosive new work that blurs the lines between gig, ritual, and performance art. Directed by Katie O’Halloran with visual design by Ross Ryder, This-Topia is a surreal, genre-defying spectacle — part rave, part theatre, part collective catharsis.
  • Colm Mac Con Iomaire at The Kino. An evocative and moving performance from the renowned composer and violinist, drawing on his solo work and deep roots in Irish musical tradition.

Curated by a creative team that includes Mary Hickson, actor Cillian Murphy, Bryce Dessner (The National), author Max Porter, and folklorist Billy MagFhlionn— and anchored by the 37d03d residency, the full programme and tickets for Sounds from a Safe Harbour are available here.
