Tom Giles picks the 2027 sport and music dates worth booking now, from Ireland v England in Dublin to Oasis in Glasgow and the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.

Every year I get asked the same question: what should I book now, before it goes? For 2027, my answer is already clear. The big ones are on sale, and the people who plan early get the year they actually want.

Here are the dates I would put in the diary first. The full list, with ten picks, is in my Founder's Hot Picks on the Seatsy newsroom.

Ireland v England, Dublin, 5 February

The opening night of the 2027 Six Nations, at the Aviva Stadium. Rugby has been a huge part of my life, and this is the trip I would not miss. There are Ireland v England tickets, and a full Dublin weekend hosted by former Ireland full back Geordan Murphy.

Oasis at Celtic Park, 21 May

Some nights you simply have to be in the room. Oasis in Glasgow is one of them. Oasis tickets are on Seatsy now, and my advice is to sort the stay at the same time as the ticket.

El Clasico, Madrid, 9 May

Real Madrid v Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu in the spring. The biggest club game in world football. El Clasico is live on the site.

The Monaco Grand Prix from Cap Ferrat, 3 to 7 June

A calm base in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, with a short tender into Monaco. This is how I would do the race. The Monaco stay is open for enquiry.

The Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, 16 to 20 September

If there is one week of 2027 I would tell you not to leave late, it is this one. The Ryder Cup stay at Adare Manor runs from 12 to 20 September, a short walk from the first tee.

Book the right one, not all of them

Football dates can still move for television, so always check before you book travel. And if you want a second opinion on a weekend, get in touch. I would much rather you book the right event than every event. You can browse everything live on Seatsy whenever you are ready.
