Moonlight: The Philip Lynott Enigma

Thu 21 May 2026
Moonlight - The Philip Lynott Enigma is a new rock musical that tells a deeper story of an Irish rock music icon — exploring the legendary Thin Lizzy frontman's formative years, his struggles, and his legacy and inspiration to musicians around the world, honouring him in the pantheon of great Irish poets.

Peter M. Smith leads an incredible cast bringing “Philip Lynott” to life like never before, supported by acclaimed actor Pádraig Ó Loingsigh in the role of “Brendan Behan”. Riley Clark plays “Oscar Wilde”, with original Thin Lizzy co-founder/guitarist Eric Bell making a special guest appearance, bringing unbeatable authenticity to the production.

The amazing Moonlight Band blasts out the Thin Lizzy anthems and new original tracks live, in a high-energy, unforgettable show that will have you on your feet, laughing, crying and singing as we tell a unique story that needs to be told.
