GCN is giving one lucky reader the chance to experience internationally acclaimed artist Tash Sultana live at the 3Arena, as part of their Return to the Roots EU/UK Tour 2026. The Australian multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer is set to stop at Dublin’s 3Arena on March 28, marking their biggest headline show here to date.
The tour follows the release of Tash’s latest body of work, Return to the Roots. The six-track EP sees the artist reconnect with the spirit of their early looping days while embracing the wisdom and perspective that comes after a decade in the spotlight.
Peeling back layers of fame and expectation, the project is both a reflection and a reclamation, delving into themes of mental health, resilience, authenticity and the courage of self-discovery. From stripped-back jams to powerful, deeply personal anthems, the music is rooted in emotional honesty and raw live energy.
For Tash, authenticity has always been central not just in their sound but in their personal life. In recent years, they have spoken openly about their sexuality and gender identity, proudly living as a queer, gender fluid artist.
Coming out was an act of courage and liberation, both for themselves and for fans around the world who see their own stories mirrored in Tash’s. Their journey is a reminder that music is not only about sound, but also about connection, representation and truth.
Renowned globally for their electrifying performances, Tash has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts of a generation. Having headlined major festivals, sold out arena tours worldwide and amassed more than a billion streams, they remain an artist unbound by genre, pressure or convention.
The Return to the Roots tour promises an entirely reimagined production and evolution of the unmissable live experience that has made Tash one of Australia’s most celebrated musical exports. Tickets for the Dublin show go on sale on Friday, September 5, but if you’re feeling lucky, be in with a chance to win two tickets by simply answering this question:
