Monaghan’s Nix Moon play their first Dublin headline show in Whelan’s on Thursday February 2. The upstairs venue will be grooving in the midnight hour to one of the country's most entertaining live bands.

They have experienced the unique atmosphere of Whelan’s recently, having played the Ones To Watch Festival on Friday and wowed the crowd there.

We’ve seen them before at Vantastival and had a fantastic time interviewing them. Their debut EP Soul Traffic came out last year and featured in our end of year lists. You'll find it for your listening pleasure at the foot of this article.

Support is from Hatchlings and there’s a guestlist via their event page.
