Ná caill seó pop dána aerach SexyTadhg le buillí leictreonacha, amharclannaíocht agus scéalaíocht corraitheach gan leithscéal agus lán le fuinneamh.

The bi-lingual songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, DJ and fashion designer SexyTadhg is an exhilarating force that defies expectations.

The SexyTadhg live show has been described as a “euphoric blend of big band jazz, theatrical soul, and dazzling pop, bursting with brass, keys, layered harmonies, and a groove-rich rhythm section, that channels the grandiosity of the SexyTadhg personna, while showcasing their magnetic, commanding vocal presence.” (1883 Magazine), with Hotpress remarking that the live show is “theatrical disco music at its finest, Tadhg’s performances are an exhilarating blend of musicianship and creativity.” 

Tadhg’s commanding vocals and virtuoso piano skills have mesmerized audiences internationally, as their big band extravaganza elevates Irish musicianship to unprecedented heights. Their performances often draw comparisons to legendary icons like David Bowie, Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Freddie Mercury, yet SexyTadhg artfully intertwines this majestic persona with the uplifting joy of Traditional Irish folk and intimate narratives that explore themes of gender, sexuality, and mental health. 

Tadhg Griffin, the magnificent force behind SexyTadhg, embodies a provocative energy that has as swiftly established them as a luminary in Irish music. As a proud Gaeilgeoir, Tadhg infuses their work with a powerful queer perspective, showcasing the beauty of Irish culture through a contemporary lens. 

2025 was a breakout year that saw the release of SexyTadhg’s Debut EP – “Sexy”, which has been lauded both at home by outlets such as The Irish Times, RTÉ Radio 1, RTÉ 2FM, District Magazine & Lovin’ Dublin and abroad by tastemakers such as BBC Radio 6, Clash Magazine, Dork, Earmilk and DMY. Having made such a big impression in a short space of time, SexyTadhg’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down in 2026.

“Tadhg Griffin… is a shining light in Irish music; with a bona fide rock star presence, it is no wonder they’re selling out shows.” — The Irish Times

“Ireland’s most fearless new voice… ready to take over.” — DMY

Afterparty with Sally Cinnamon | 10:30 PM – Late

When a DJ has led the party for 25 years, you know they’re doing something right. Sally Cinnamon represents a golden era of the Irish party scene, one some might be too young to recall. For more than two decades, she’s been a fixture in Irish nightlife, and now she’s playing at Féile na Bealtaine.

With years behind the decks, Sally Cinnamon has become a true student of sound. Her sets draw from across the globe, from psychedelic and electronic to afro-inspired rhythms, with a strong retro thread that connects generations.

There are DJs who deliver one hit after another, and those who guide you on a journey. Sally does both.
