We play shows in Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, regional Victoria, NSW and wherever the craic takes us. If you're looking to dance and sing along with great traditional Irish songs and modern Celtic rock with a twist of trad punk, come to one of our gigs below — or book us for your next event. We love playing festivals and private celebrations just as much as we love owning the corner pub!
Bloody top shelf show. Dunno why it took me this long to come see you — but I'm sold now!
After stumbling onto Double Shot Maggie in March at Murphys I now grab the chance to see them whenever possible. Anyone who has been along to a Double Shot Maggie gig knows they're in for a great night from the best band out of G-town for a long time.
Cannot recommend Double Shot Maggie highly enough!! They performed at a recent event held by the company I work for and they were AMAZING. They brought such great energy to the gig and had everyone dancing and laughing in no time.
When I marry a rich man, I'll be flying your band to Ireland to play at my wedding.
Thank you so much for being a big part of the 2024 Koroit Irish Festival last weekend! We are still buzzing from the incredible success of the festival and have had tremendous positive feedback. You are brilliant musicians and we are grateful that you were a big part of the whole weekend.
Such an incredible band. We love seeing these guys play in Geelong and Melbourne and it's always the most incredible night.
Brilliant live five piece band! I've seen them a few times and they never disappoint. Very impressed that they have an accordion in the band, and the musicians are very skilled at their craft — they play an excellent mix of instruments! Definitely worth a listen!
Their energy was infectious, and the blend of traditional Irish tunes with modern flair kept everyone on their feet. The musicianship is top-notch, and the lead vocalist has a voice that truly captures the spirit of the music.
Best band EVER playing the best Celtic music EVER — loud and fast!!!!!
An awesome night of singing and dancing along with DSM in Flemington last week. Looking forward to the next gig! (This man did not stop dancing all night!)
Brilliant, loved it, best night I've had in a long time.
Double Shot Maggie is an outstanding Irish band that consistently delivers a high-energy, crowd-pleasing performance. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting them at multiple venues, and every show has been a hit. Their musicianship, charisma, and connection with the audience make them a must-see act we’re always thrilled to book.
Must see and experience this super talented, high energy band. You will be up and dancing and singing your heart out to all your favourite Irish tunes. Looking forward to seeing Double Shot Maggie again soon.
I’m the owner of Connolly Public House in Port Melbourne, and we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Double Shot Maggie band on several occasions. They are absolutely amazing — from their professional booking process to their flexibility and communication, everything runs smoothly. Every time they perform at our venue, we get an incredible turnout. Their playlist is versatile, engaging, and always keeps the crowd entertained. The band members are true professionals who consistently deliver high-quality performances. They’re in high demand and book out quickly, so if you’re looking for a fantastic live act to elevate your venue, I highly recommend booking Double Shot Maggie Band as soon as possible.
Awesome, high energy, foot stomping fun! Double Shot Maggie delivers Irish music at its best with a range of melodies, jigs and toe tapping favourites for a fun, lively show and great craic! Guaranteed to spill your Guinness!
Double Shot Maggie know how to get the crowd up and dancing, singing along, and having a fantastic time from start to finish. Their energy is infectious, and their setlist is packed with fun, upbeat tunes that everyone loves. On top of that, they’re genuinely lovely people—super friendly, down-to-earth, and great to chat with. If you're looking for a band that brings great vibes and unforgettable entertainment, Double Shot Maggie are the band for you!
I loved watching and dancing to this band. I’ve seen them a couple of times now and they always have the best vibe. Highly recommend 💚🤍🧡
The Real Deal! In my opinion the best Irish band in Australia. These guys have an amazing energy and stage presence. Often bands with any sort of theme can be a bit kitschy but DSM are genuine through and through. A must see and hear!
Fantastic! Five Singers, and a plethora of instruments. Definitely a cut above any Celtic-Rock Band I've seen in years, perhaps since I saw Shane McGowan with The Popes at The Prince Of Wales. Double-Shot Maggie have a lot more going on, more depth, than other Celtic-Rock Bands I see about. I bought their t-shirt to prove it. :)
A talented band that gets you dancing to their foot stomping originals and covers. Well worth seeing more than once!
I have seen Double Shot Maggie at both the Irish Festival in Koroit and the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington and they do not disappoint. They fill the dance floor wherever they play. Such an energetic fun band to dance and sing to. Loud Fast Trad is spot on. Can’t wait to see them again soon!
Double Shot Maggie are such a great Irish-themed band — they never disappoint! 🍀🎶 From the second they start playing, the energy is infectious. They get everyone singing along, tapping their feet, and before long you're up dancing. Each band member brings their own personality to the stage, which makes the whole show fun from start to finish. Honestly, just go see them! You'll have a brilliant night of great music, plenty of laughs, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. 💚🍻🎵
