Dermot Kennedy has that power over us, so much so that we’re willing to break the bank to get our hands on some merch.<\/p>\n

The Dubliner, 34, is gearing up to perform two huge gigs at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium<\/a> on Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12.<\/p>\n

And whether you’re heading to the gig or not (but why wouldn’t you be, because there are still tickets available<\/a>), Dermot has a special surprise for his Irish fans.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the upcoming gigs, there’s a special two-day merch pop-up coming to Dublin.<\/p>\n

There, you can shop everything from tote bags and tees to caps and crewnecks. And we heard on the grapevine that there’ll be exclusive merchandise available at the pop-up; you can’t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Rest assured, you do not need a concert ticket to attend the pop-up, but you may have to prove your Dermot Kennedy knowledge through a sing-song (we’re kidding!)<\/p>\n

The merch pop-up is located at Studio 10 on Dublin’s Wicklow Street on both Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

The shop opens between 9am and 5pm, so you’ve plenty of time to head into the city centre before dipping away to Ballsbridge for Dermot’s set, which is expected to start around 9pm.<\/p>\n

Dermot has drafted in Amble and Dublin-based singer Aaron Rowe as his special guests at the Aviva Stadium, who will help warm up the crowd.<\/p>\n

Then, fans are in for an evening of soulful singing with their celebrity crush, who will perform some of his biggest tracks, including Power Over Me and Outnumbered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dermot Kennedy has that power over us, so much so that we’re willing to break the bank to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-540501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
