Fabolous is one of those artists that you never really expect to see play in Dublin. There are two types of Hip-Hop artists who make it to Irish shores. The first are those who have made huge waves in the mainstream (think Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Macklemore etc) and there are the underground artists that are yet to blow, but have a strong core following (think Action Bronson etc). In between, there is a huge range of rappers who never come to Ireland for one simple reason; in the U.S they’re huge and in Ireland they’re not. These artists are used to receiving big performance cheques across the United States and in large European markets such as Paris and London, but the Dublin market is usually not able to muster enough fans for such mid-level artists to cover their huge expectations.
So we are happy, grateful even, that for whatever reason an artist such as Fabolous has been coerced into taking to stage in Dublin. Tickets for the show are reasonably priced at €22.50 from Ticketmaster.
