WB Yeats’s interest in magic and mysticism is the starting point for a show curated by Emer McGarry and featuring Clodagh Emoe, Joachim Koester, Maria Loboda, Goshka Macuga, Susan MacWilliam, Deirdre McKenna, Stephen Rennicks. All, in different ways, “point to a space beyond the physical world”.
LEGEND
Danny Tenaglia
The Bunker, Derry 8pm £27 twitter.com/JikajikaDerry
Quite a coup for Derry promoters Jika Jika! in the shape of New York house legend Danny Tenaglia coming to play at the new occasional venue in the underground carpark at Ebrington Square.

San Francisco duo Derrick Boyd and Zoe Presnick know how to make a joyful noise.

CLASSIC POP
Fleetwood Mac
3Arena, Dublin 8pm €129.50/ €89.50/€75/€55 (sold out) 3Arena.ie
It may not matter to casual fans, but for Fleetwood Mac obsessives (there are a few, we believe), the fact that all five members of the Rumours-era band are back touring together is akin to winning the Euro Millions lottery. Consummate live band delivers classic 1970s pop/rock – there is everything to love about this.
HOUSE
The Building Society
Hangar, Dublin 10.30pm €15/€12/€10 soundcloud.com/sante
There are a lot of Ibiza dates in the Santé diary for the next few weeks as the Berlin DJ seeks to make the most of the busy summer season on the island. When it comes to raw, pumping house and agile techno, Philipp Maier’s run of releases for his own Avotre label (not to mention cuts for Cocoon, Defected, Viva and Hot Creations) have created quite the wow factor. Support from Kaily and Dan Stritch.
