ARCO ARENA @ Nan Rices, Newry 26/9/26

This September, post funk/dance rock four piece Arco Arena are bringing their new music to Newry as part of their 2026 Irish tour. Hailing from Dundalk, their music has been compared to the heavy riffage of bands like Idles and Rage Against The Machine, with intertwined dance elements reminiscent of Daft Punk and The Talking Heads. Joining them onstage will be up and coming local acts Tacoma, just off the back of joining Susi Pagel and George Houston onstage at Newry's Pride Festival, and the brand new Porcelena, who are quickly making waves after their first run of gigs led them to 2nd place at Yewtree's Debut Battle Of The Bands.
