SUMMARY:The Longest Johns
DESCRIPTION:Chart topping folk group The Longest Johns are known the world over for their rollicking harmonies and raucous energy that are blowing new wind into the sails of traditional sea shanties and work songs. Formed in 2012 across a kitchen table in their native Bristol\, they bonded over a passion for traditional maritime folk music\, interwoven with a wry humour\, a taste for all things digital. and a flair for their own songwriting – ancient meets modern down by the docks.The Longest Johns have now announced a headline Academy\, Dublin show for Friday\, 8th May 2026. \nTickets from €29.00 (inc booking fee & venue facility fee) from Ticketmaster.ie on. Bookings subject to 12.5% service charge per ticket (max €10.50) \nConstant gigging over land and sea\, coupled with a rare command of social media and a string of quality releases saw them build a devoted fanbase at home and abroad. Their breakout moment came in 2021\, when their rendition of ‘Wellerman’ went viral on TikTok\, sparking the ‘Shanty Tok’ craze that became a global resurgence in sea shanty music and saw the band sign to Decca Records. \nThis year\, they have released their tenth album to round up the Pieces of Eight project – an EP a month for eight months culminating in the 24-track compilation. In the next 12 months they’ll continue to take folk music back to its roots by many routes\, playing more than 100 shows across the UK\, Europe\, North America and Australia. \nTheir love of heritage and tradition runs deep – in 2024 they released the fan-funded album Voyage with its companion book of original short stories\, artwork and lyrics. However\, as digital natives and avid gamers\, The Longest Johns were overjoyed to play at the opening of the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships where they debuted a new track\, Face the World\, written especially for the event. \nWith a strong digital presence boasting over 500\,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 700\,000 monthly Spotify listeners\, they’ve also released a 20-track album of sea shanties digitally retooled in Chiptune\, taken part in the annual Jingle Jam hosted by gaming stream The Yogscast\, and share their own video games on YouTube and Twitch @LongestJohnsGaming. \nThe band have toured extensively across the UK\, North America\, and Europe\, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Their many highlights include selling out The Troubadour in LA (where Elton John began his conquest of the USA nearly 20 years before any of The Longest Johns was even born)\, performing at the late Queen’s birthday party at the British Embassy in Paris\, and playing festivals from Glastonbury to Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival. \nThe Longest Johns are Jonathan ‘JD’ Darley\, Andy Yates and Robbie Sattin.

SUMMARY:Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit
DESCRIPTION:Following the release of his tenth studio album Foxes In The Snow in March\, Six-time Grammy Award-winning singer / songwriter Jason Isbell has announced his return to Ireland with The 400 Unit\, visiting 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Wednesday 3rd June 2026. \nTickets priced from €56.35 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland \nJason Isbell is one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest\, yet simplest\, human emotions\, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful\, heartfelt\, and sometimes brutal honesty. \nAfter releasing multiple critically-acclaimed albums\, appearing in an Academy Award nominated film\, Killers of the Flower Moon\, and touring the world with his band\, the 400 Unit\, Isbell began 2025 with a change of pace. A solo record. Simply Isbell and his voice and an acoustic guitar\, an all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC\, Foxes in the Snow further demonstrates his pure talent as a songwriter and musician. As Stereogum so aptly put it\, “the barebones intimacy recentres the artist behind the persona and serves as a reminder that this guy can write a damn song.

SUMMARY:The Aristocrats
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 12 years\, The Aristocrats – guitarist Guthrie Govan (Steven Wilson\, Hans Zimmer\, Asia/GPS)\, bassist Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani\, Steve Vai\, Dethklok)\, and drummer Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson\, Joe Satriani\, Steve Hackett) – have established themselves as one of the most musically original\, refreshingly irreverent\, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet. Anyone who’s witnessed their live musical high-wire act – employing random amounts of rock\, jazz\, pop\, metal\, country\, and anything in between – feels the spirit of a true band\, one whose improvisational soul allows for anything to happen onstage at any moment…including the occasional Frank Zappa-influenced wink and nod at the audience. \nThe buzz from their supposedly one-off debut gig at the Anaheim NAMM show in 2011 led to The Aristocrats self-titled debut album. Tracked in just eight days\, The Aristocrats [2011] was hailed as an instant classic in leading music publications worldwide\, appearing on many of that year’s top ten lists. The Aristocrats then proceeded to make three more critically acclaimed studio albums over the next decade\, two of which landed in the Billboard Top 10 Jazz Chart. (Jazz? Ok\, sure.) Four world tours and three live albums later\, the band is known on five continents as a must-see whirlwind musical experience. \nIn the midst of breaking the lockdown seal with their worldwide 2022/2023 DEFROST TOUR\, the band produced their fifth and most ambitious studio work to date – a concept album. Duck is the story of a web-footed Antarctic island native fleeing a penguin policeman all the way to New York City…where considerable misadventure and danger await. Duck takes The Aristocrats’ collective artistry to a whole new mindblowing – albeit ridiculous – level.

SUMMARY:Tashi Dorji

SUMMARY:LANY
DESCRIPTION:LA-based duo LANY have announced their Soft World tour will land in Dublin at 3Olympia Theatre on Thursday 4th June 2026. \n\n\nPaul Klein (lead-singer & songwriter) had just finished a workout at his local gym last summer when his and LANY’s world was (for a brief moment\, quite literally) flipped upside down. Only a couple miles from where he lives in Hollywood\, he hopped on his vespa scooter to head home and a minute later was crossing an intersection when a car appeared from nowhere. He squeezed the brakes\, braced for impact and at the last second “let go”. He woke up in an ambulance. \n“The first thought I had when I woke up was that God loves me. That I’m still here for a reason and I have a purpose.” He doesn’t know how much time passed on the pavement. He doesn’t know who called the ambulance. He doesn’t know how long it took them to arrive. He does know how fortunate he is to be alive. “I’m so grateful to be alive\, but I hope there are some parts of me that died on the road that day\,” he says. “I was holding onto some things that I didn’t need to be. Resentment. Unforgiveness. I was becoming pretty bitter and callous — hard of heart.” \nIt’s poetic then that the band’s new album\, titled “Soft”\, addresses his attempts to fight against that internal hardness — to stay soft of the inside\, while simultaneously fighting to rehabilitate an even stronger\, harder exterior to protect that same vulnerability and softness within. \nThe LA-based duo (comprised of Klein and his bandmate/ best friend Jake Goss) were less than two weeks away from the Australian leg of their “a beautiful blur” world tour when the accident happened. Having already finished the European\, North American and Latin American legs\, the band were spending the first weeks of summer at home\, recharging before getting back on the road. Nobody could’ve imagined how quickly everything would change. What is perhaps more conceivable is how catalyzing a moments like this would be for Klein\, both personally and creatively. Thematically and visually “Soft” exists in tension — an intentional contrast of the hard and soft. Tangible\, literal\, physical hardness juxtaposed with metaphorical\, relational (and\, at times too\, physical) softness. The cover itself depicts the perfect visual of that dichotomy: a lamb\, representative of one’s own softness\, in the wounded and bandaged arms of the one that has fought for and protected it. “It’s so easy to let the challenges of the world harden you\,” Klein says. “The hardest thing to do is to fight against it — to stay soft. To protect your softness and the things that you love.” \nSonically\, the album explores these same tensions — much of the softness and vulnerability of lyric that has defined LANY’s acclaimed career\, now with a harder\, braver edge to the production. Where familiar listeners might’ve expected to encounter some more predictable or safer choices\, LANY has seriously matured and evolved. The soft piano ballads west-coast-indie guitars and bedroom pop sonics that LANY helped create and popularize aren’t entirely abandoned\, but their sound and Klein’s writing has expanded. The list of brave choices on “Soft” begins with Klein’s willingness to start writing mere weeks after waking up in the ambulance. It continues with the band’s decision to produce the album entirely with Tommy King\, who has a more abstract\, indie production background / history (Bon Iver\, Dijon\, Vampire Weekend\, Haim) and ends with a sonic-identity that is simultaneously incredibly fresh and peculiarly familiar (another dichotomy that defines the record and has come to define the band). \nNowhere is this seen more than lead-single “Know You Naked”. Lyrically a vulnerable love-letter\, highlighted by Klein’s vocal range and thoughtful extra touches; the tension and contrast is found in an almost-industrial\, dissonant guitar-intro (that continues to persist below the surface)\, harsh synth stabs\, punchy snare hits and momentary “glitchy” static-like sounds. There’s also a particular moment on the album’s title track and opener “Soft” that sets the scene and prepares the audience for what’s ahead. It’s only one and a half minutes into the album\, but is the first time the initial “softness” of the record is broken and it kickstarts the record into life — a daring\, crystalizing early highlight. \nIn more than a few of the tracks\, the record could more aptly even be described as R&B. Maybe that’s where some of the familiarity stems from… The band’s origins and early works felt more “80s”\, but were always very R&B-adjacent. The song “Good Parts” feels like it drew inspiration from the “late-90’s / Y2K” in that way — you can just imagine a big-budget music video played 40x a day\, every day\, on MTV to accompany such an enormous track. This feeling is identified most strongly in the unstoppable album closer “Last Forever” though — an astonishingly raw and honest\, soul-bearing ballad that existing fans and new listeners will be desperate to have on loop (or\, dare-say\, to last forever). While it pushes sonic and thematic boundaries\, it still feels a lot like LANY\, treading that tightrope of tension the band thrive on. \nWith “Soft” dropping this Fall\, the band have spent the latter parts of 2024 and early 2025 relentlessly working on the record\, but have found time outside of the studio too. Earlier this year they played two special nights with The National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center in DC before headlining Seoul Jazz Festival in Korea in May. LANY have always brought so much of the energy from their live shows to their recorded works and it’s easy to see that influence on “Soft”. While the new record was incubated in the immediate aftermath of the accident — writing and production beginning within just a couple of weeks — the band were amazingly back on stage in Europe to finish their world tour just two months after the crash\, albeit with Klein on a crutch. \nThat tour canvased the globe; highlights of the 80+ show / 300\,000+ ticket run including a first-ever sold out stadium in Manila\, a second time headlining The Forum locally in LA\, and festival headline slots at the iconic Summer Sonic Festivals in Tokyo and Osaka. Nominated for “Best Pop Tour” by Pollstar\, the band’s energetic\, entrancing\, and ever-evolving live show continues to captivate fans on multiple continents.

SUMMARY:Dream\, Ivory
DESCRIPTION:Dream\, Ivory: brothers Christian and Louie Baello grew up in Southern California\, where “the Baello brothers were each other’s universe.” Christian handles production while Louie serves as the primary lyricist and vocalist\, but every song they make is a true collaboration. Beyond the music\, together\, they make all of Dream\, Ivory’s artwork\, videos\, and visuals. \nInspired by shoegaze\, surf rock\, and artists like Damon Albarn\, the duo quickly built an organic online following. Today\, they have over 450 million streams across their catalogue and their debut single ‘welcome goodbye’ is RIAA certified gold. \nWhen You Come Back… follows their acclaimed 2022 debut LP About a Boy\, “interrogates difficult topics surrounding mental illness and suicidality with grace and conviction.” The new album “incubates a distinctive period in the brothers’ lives defined by dislocation and addiction\,” and marks a creative resurgence that began when they wrote ‘Lost Angeles\,’ the first song for what would become When You Come Back…” \nDream\, Ivory’s Dublin performance marks the first opportunity for Irish fans to hear material from the new album live.

SUMMARY:NSOI: Philip Glass Explored with Russell Davies & Kidjo
DESCRIPTION:National Symphony Orchestra Ireland\nDennis Russell Davies\, conductor\nAngélique Kidjo\, voice \nPhilip Glass\nPrelude and Dance (‘The City’) from Akhnaten  (Irish Premiere)\nIfè Songs  (Irish Premiere)\nSymphony No. 8  (Irish Premiere) \nNational Symphony Orchestra Ireland’s two-concert focus on Philip Glass begins with the composer’s most authoritative interpreter\, conductor Dennis Russell Davies\, and dynamic\, charismatic force of nature with a show-stopping voice\, Angélique Kidjo. \nHailed ‘Africa’s premier diva’ and one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine\, the multi-Grammy Award-winning Kidjo’s groundbreaking career has made her one of the most recognisable\, exciting and influential African artists of her generation. \nGlass’s own website declares ‘perhaps no person is closer to Philip Glass’s music-making than conductor Dennis Russell Davies’ who has premiered more of the composer’s works than any other conductor. \nThree Irish premieres include two passages from the landmark opera\, Akhnaten: the mesmerising Prelude and mounting intensity of Dance (‘The City’.) \nBased on African creation poems\, the Ifè Songs were composed for Angélique Kidjo and are sung in her native Yoruba. Named after a legendary kingdom\, each of the three songs evoke deities in colourful\, rhythmically complex music that fuses together Glass’s signature minimalist techniques with the inflections and phrasing of Yoruba chant and song. \nThe expansive Symphony No. 8 treats orchestral sections to virtuoso writing in three contrasting movements as daring as they are beautiful. The first\, weaving eight different themes into a compelling tapestry of colour and sound\, echoes Haydn and Beethoven; the second blends beauty and melancholy in compelling variations; the third dissolves into ‘deepening twilight and unending night’ (New Yorker). \nPresented by NCH

SUMMARY:Baliza
DESCRIPTION:Baliza is a music project born from the creative union of Gon Massey from Barcelona and Anxo Silveira from Galicia. The duo met while performing Spanish music on the streets of Dublin\, Ireland back in 2023. Their shared passion for music and their cultural background quickly evolved into a project that has captivated the Spanish community in Ireland. \nWith a unique sound that blends heartfelt storytelling with an unmistakable energy\, the duo is ready to explore new territories. Baliza isn’t just a band—it’s an experience. Their performances\, or better known as “Balizadas”\, are as much about connection and energy as they are about music. \n“The duo managed to gather between 500 and 600 people on the streets of Dublin. “They must have represented 40% of the Spanish population living in the city\,” said the band’s drummer.” – La Opinión A Coruña \n“When you go abroad\, you appreciate everything that reminds you of your country. Even if you are far away\, it is nice to feel that you can share things that you cannot with people from the country.” – Huffpost

SUMMARY:Foggy Notions presents Nerves
DESCRIPTION:Nerves return with their first new music of 2026 in the form of “N26”\, a sharp\, anxious blast that captures the band at their most immediate and confrontational. \nOriginally formed in County Mayo and now based in Dublin\, Nerves have steadily built a reputation as one of Ireland’s most uncompromising live acts. Their shows feel less like performances and more like pressure points\, all volume\, tension and release\, earning them tours alongside some of the buzziest new names in the circuit\, Maruja and Gurriers\, as well as shows with noise-rock royalty\, The Jesus Lizard. That word of mouth has been matched by growing critical support from Kerrang!\, The Line of Best Fit\, CLASH\, Cvlt Nation\, Louder Than War\, Hot Press\, Rough Trade\, Metal Sucks and vairous playback across BBC Radio 6. \nTheir 2025 EP Iarmhaireacht marked a turning point. A record rooted in atmosphere and narrative as much as abrasion\, it traced a line between rural memory and present day unease\, pairing archival textures with tightly wound\, industrial-leaning arrangements. It introduced a broader emotional range to the band’s sound without sacrificing any of its force\, and positioned \nNerves as something more expansive than a noise rock outlier. \n“N26” feels like a direct continuation of that trajectory\, but with the dial pushed further into the red. Produced once again by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band\, the track condenses their approach into three relentless minutes. There are traces of techno in its pulse\, but it lands with the blunt impact of noise rock\, drawing a line between the mechanical and the visceral. \nLyrically\, the song confronts the slow erosion of rural Irish towns\, where opportunity thins out and younger generations are left in suspension. It is a theme that ran beneath Iarmhaireacht\, but here it is brought into sharper focus\, less abstract\, more accusatory. The result is a track that feels both personal and systemic\, urgent without losing its sense of place. \nWith more new music expected across 2026\, “N26” arrives as a clear opening statement. On stage\, that momentum is already underway\, including a headline appearance at the tenth anniversary of Supersonic Festival\, signalling a year that looks set to push the band further beyond the margins they first emerged from.

Forest DLG) at the Bernard Shaw w/ DJ Jazz T on Saturday\, June 6th. \nThe latest instalment in a formidable run sees the lyricist further his vision of the world in the hope of elevating the collective mind and spirit of both artist and listener across 19-brand new tracks. ‘Elevation’ is scheduled for release 26th February\, 2026 on High Focus Records. \nIf you’ve ever seen Fliptrix live you will know that his shows are electrifying. Expect brand new music from ‘Elevation’ and classics from Fliptrix’ extensive catalogue as both a solo artist and 1/4 of The Four Owls on his only UK Tour of 2026. \nHaving worked with Forest DLG in some capacity across all of his records over the past fifteen years\, from mixing and mastering\, but also collaborating on multiple tracks as rapper / producer\, it is surprising that it took so long for the pair to come together on a full length collaborative project. ‘Elevation’ is that record. \nLimited tickets available\, support on the night will come from the Outstraight roster\, and expect further annoucnements regarding tour merch etc.
