SUMMARY:SHADY NASTY
DESCRIPTION:Shady Nasty subvert expectations. In a world bound by modded cars\, immigrant heritage and digital obsessions\, Kevin Stathis\, Haydn Green and Luca Watson craft a left-field breed of punk that pushes their formal training in jazz and classical music to its most uncustomary extremes. \nInfluences like King Krule\, Low Life and Show Me The Body surface not as reference points\, but as undercurrents — absorbed and reconfigured into something idiosyncratic and distinctly their own. \nEarly EPs Bad Posture and CLUBSMOKE earned praise from The Guardian\, NME\, Kerrang!\, The Line of Best Fit\, DIY\, Stereogum and VICE\, each showcasing immersive world-building that has shaped a consistent voice over the past seven years. \nMarked by a distinctive harbour-city twang\, TREK — their long-awaited debut album — grapples with the less-than-glamorous hard graft of staying afloat while remaining creatively uncompromised in Sydney. Produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets\, the record ventures into more textured\, exploratory territory than ever before. Four months in\, it’s resonated with longtime fans and newcomers alike\, earning acclaim from FBi Radio (Album of the Week)\, RTR FM (Feature Album)\, triple j Unearthed (Feature Artist)\, NME Magazine\, Ones to Watch and more. \nRecently\, the group has shared stages with Skeleten\, Shame\, High Vis\, Ho99o9\, Sleaford Mods\, Gustaf\, Amyl and The Sniffers\, among others. Through their own headline shows\, they’ve cultivated a cult following across Sydney’s underground — including a sold-out run of album shows earlier this April. No matter the venue\, no matter the bill\, devout adherents clamber to fuel a heaving mosh.

SUMMARY:Conor Kinsella
DESCRIPTION:Conor Kinsella is a genre-bending punk artist and producer from Dublin. Created in 2025\, the project looks to the idea of genre itself as a tool for writing new music which pokes through the gaps which exist between styles. Exploring primarily political and self-deprecating themes which seek to unpack the chaotic and disturbing nature of life in the present age\, the live set combines punk beats\, semi-improvised ambient jams\, jazz-influenced arrangements and tightly sequenced dance rhythms\, at times equally confusing and familiar. Conor Kinsella has supported the likes of folk-punk legends Crywank at their sold-out headline show in Dublin in 2026. On June 19th\, he debuts the newest iteration of his live set\, complete with a six-piece band encompassing vocals\, saxophone\, trumpet\, viola\, keys\, guitar\, bass and drums.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Skullcrusher
DESCRIPTION:Skullcrusher is the folk-electronica musical project of New York-based musician Helen Ballentine. She released her latest album\, And Your Song Is Like A Circle last October\, and has previously supported artists such as Ethel Cain and The Japanese House. \nAnd Your Song Is Like a Circle\, the second album from New York-based artist Skullcrusher\, a.k.a. Helen Ballentine\, winds its way into an everchanging\, unstable core. \nIf Skullcrusher’s first album rendered the detailed intimacies of domestic space\, Circle finds itself vaporised across the landscape: swirling\, drifting\, searching. It skirts an event horizon in long\, slow strokes. These are songs that vibrate with the fervency of an attempt to capture a moment\, to draw a circle around it. \nSkullcrusher is now bringing this to a live audience\, stopping off in Dublin on Saturday\, 20 June 2026. This isn’t one you want to miss.

SUMMARY:Matt Benson
DESCRIPTION:This June\, we are excited to welcome to Whelan’s the incredible Matt Benson. \nFrom a fire-bombed Belfast music shop\, to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage touring the Balkans with Dutch Ska Bands and being down and out in London via every smoky dive bar you can shake a stick at\, Matt has lived the musical life most only dream of — now he’s telling the whole story through soul-drenched vocals\, steeped in cinematic narratives. So close your eyes and follow along. \nHis debut album Sit Back Down Again is capturing peoples imaginations and getting 5-star reviews from the critics. A soul-drenched debut steeped in vintage R&B\, New Orleans brass\, and cinematic storytelling. Grief\, growth\, supernatural characters and barroom romances — told through warm horns\, weathered vocals & raw\, honest songs. Hear echoes of Randy Newman\, Van Morrison\, Chris Stapleton and Dr. John shaped by a surfeit of New Orleans style. Its stories blur the line between rich\, cinematic fiction and the authenticity that comes with having lived through many of the narratives that he explores. \nCome see Matt sing this album at the piano\, hear him growl through the trombone to enchant and compel you through his world of stories in what promises to be an unforgettable evening. \nWith over 120k plays on streaming platforms\, appearances on UTV Life\, RTE Radio 1’s ‘Arena’\, selling out Whelans and praise from George Ezra\, Matt’s had an illustrious career playing trombone. He’s been in George Ezra’s band since 2017\, and played with Bad Manners\, The Pogues\, Neil Hannon\, Hot 8 Brass Band and lots more…

SUMMARY:Dirty Blond
DESCRIPTION:Corey Sanders\, aka Dirty Blond\, stepped up to the mic at a recent sold-out gig with a grin and a warning. ‘Are you having a good night? Good — because I’m going to ruin it.’ The crowd laughed. Then he played. And instead of killing the mood\, he tightened it —a roomful of strangers locked into the same feeling\, singing back every bruised lyric like it belonged to them. \nThat’s the trick: the heavier the heartbreak\, the stronger the connection. In Corey’s hands\, melancholia doesn’t isolate \, it unites. That tension — sorrow turning into connection — sits at the heart of Dirty Blond. The songs are bruised and vulnerable\, but in a live setting they feel expansive\, even euphoric. There’s comfort in the candour\, in the shared recognition of something difficult but true. It’s no surprise that audiences keep growing\, both in rooms and online. Hailing from Wales — ‘the land of music and magic\,’ as he fondly calls it — Corey has been steadily building towards this moment. \nWith an album due later this year\, he’s been sharing a run of stripped-back sad songs on TikTok\, quietly amassing tens of millions of likes and an increasingly devoted following. The online rise tells one story. The real one\, though\, is happening in real time\, in packed-out venues where heartbreak somehow makes everyone feel a little less alone. The John Lennon adage ‘Life is what happens when you’re making other plans’ landed hard for Corey after his relationship fell apart. He had bought a home and a ring while his partner was quietly making plans of her own\, ultimately leaving for the United States. \nRaised in Bridgend\, Corey describes a happy childhood\, loving parents\, and a close bond with his brother. Yet he still refers to his hometown as ‘a place where there are monsters under the bed.’ Though the coal mine closures occurred long before he was born\, their impact rippled through generations\, compounded by more recent tragedies that cast long shadows over the community. At school\, Corey wasn’t academically inclined\, but music offered a way out. He taught himself piano and guitar\, writing songs from the age of twelve. When a teacher explained he could earn a GCSE through song writing\, it was revelatory. ‘Until then\, I felt like there was no way of getting out\,’ he admits\, reflecting on the creative constraints of a working-class town weighed down by low expectations. \nAt fourteen\, he formed his first band. By seventeen\, he had signed a publishing deal. At eighteen\, he moved to north London\, living in a garage for two years on stacked mattresses while friends occupied the house above. After a breakup with his school sweetheart\, he wrote ‘You Are the Reason’ — the cinematic tearjerker that would become a global hit for Calum Scott. Many song writing successes followed. Today\, Corey’s songs have amassed more than nine billion streams\, but now he’s ready to step out from the studio and into the spotlight. So why the sadness? And is it personal\, or cultural? ‘It’s the DNA of where I grew up — trapped in its melancholia\,’ he says. ‘In Wales\, people sing in pubs\, but they don’t jump around like they do in Ireland.’ \nReflecting now\, Corey sees his roots differently. ‘I spent my whole life trying to escape. Now I see it as something beautiful and damaged. I want to write songs for the people — to give them new songs to sing in the pub\, after they’ve finished Delilah.’ Healed from the end of his last relationship\, Corey has since found love again. Alongside the sadness\, the album also holds space for songs that don’t deny the damage — but still dare to open the door once more. Ultimately\, these songs are about storytelling as catharsis: shared pain\, nostalgia\, healing — and the hope that quietly emerges in the aftermath.

SUMMARY:Metronome: Dublin Modular
DESCRIPTION:Folding Waves & Genevieve Howard \nTadhg Kinsella\nSonia Killmann  \nAn evening where modular and hardware electronics fuse with acoustic instrumentation and immersive digital art. Curated as a celebration of queer identity\, experimentation\, and collaboration\, this event brings together some of Ireland’s most exciting electro-acoustic artists. Expect performances to blur genres\, sounds and worlds. A vibrant snapshot of Ireland’s evolving electronic music landscape and grassroots communities. \nFolding Waves is an international award-winning creative audio studio based in Dublin. Comprising a small team of sound designers\, composers and mix engineers\, united by their shared enthusiasm for the symbiotic relationship between sound and moving image. \nBorne from their collaboration for ICADs Reverb event (part of Irish Design Week 2025)\, Folding Waves will be performing alongside multidisciplinary artist\, designer and musician Genevieve Howard – live processing her spontaneous harp gestures through a Eurorack modular synthesiser. \nThis\, with accompaniment from Folding Waves’ own Mark Bergin on heavily effected Banjo\, creates a sonically rich\, and texturally dense improvisational soundscape – harkening back to Ireland’s cultural music tradition through a distinctly modernist lens. \nTadhg Kinsella is a queer Dublin-based sound artist\, classically trained percussionist\, and composer whose work blends acoustic performance with experimental electronic practices.\nSpecialising in modular synthesis\, haptic sound devices\, and percussion elements. Tadhg’s practice spans contemporary classical music\, sound art\, and immersive installation. Their work explores the meeting point of sound\, technology\, and urban space\, often drawing on lived experiences; queer identity\, disability and grief to shape compositional and performative approaches.

SUMMARY:The Write Stuff | Dublin by Dusk
DESCRIPTION:The Write Stuff are gatherings in collaborative storytelling\, poetry & music. Curated & hosted by Dublin writer Steve O’Toole. \n\n\n\n\nThe James Joyce Centre and The Write Stuff are delighted to announce our joint collaboration with Dublin by Dusk\, in partnership with the Department of Culture Communications and Sport\, Fáilte Ireland\, Dublin City Council\, and Dublin Town. At each gathering\, storytellers\, and poets\, are joined by showcase musicians\, working to a pre-agreed theme. Thus\, delivering a continuous\, collaborative flow of original work. Please note: This is a very limited ticketed event. \nSteve O’Toole Is a street stalking creative\, poet\, storyteller\, artist\, and the creative force behind The Write Stuff. Not one to sit on the fence\, Steve firmly wears both his heart & mind on his sleeve\, delivering forceful versed commentary by the page full. Originally performing in the mid 90’s as support to Irish writer ‘Pat Ingoldsby’. It was early 2023\, when Steve returned after a far too long hiatus. Since then\, he has gone on to read & perform at The International Literary Festival\, The Dublin Arts & Human Rights Festival\, The Bram Stoker Festival\, Culture Nights\, Craicly Stories\, and curate & host The Write Stuff gatherings at Chapters Bookstore. \nTwo Prong – John Fleming and Niall Toner Jr of The Prongs Dubliners John Fleming and Niall Toner Jr have been friends since their teenage years.

Toner Jr is a renowned musician\, songwriter and soundscape designer who has played and toured in bands since the 1980s such as Those Handsome Devils\, The Dixons\, The Cajun Kings and Strand. This show is a rare opportunity to catch The Prongs in their special\, intimate two-man format (Two-Prong). Away from the bombast of their full six-piece band iteration\, Fleming and Toner will perform a curated menu of their most sharply Dublin-infused work along with readings from The Now Now Express novel from which The Prongs first crawled as fictional entities. Two-Prong promises a Telecaster/microphone/backing film projection performance worthy of the James Joyce-linked North Great Georges Street venue hosting this extraordinary evening with The Write Stuff. Come enter the tuneful and emotive audio/visual world of The Prongs. \nKaycii is an emerging hip hop artist and lyricist from Crumlin\, Dublin\, known for his raw storytelling\, dark imagery and vocal aggression.

Working on his debut project and side projects\, Kaycii has been in the background perfecting his craft and preparing for release. \nEddie Winston is an emerging artist. He is a soulful\, and inspiring\, singer-songwriter from Ballymun\, Dublin. Following a hard-fought journey to break free from addiction after 25 years.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Have Mercy
DESCRIPTION:Blending the raw emotion of early emo with the weight and clarity of modern rock\, Have Mercy has established a sound that is distinctly their own. Across six studio albums\, the band has demonstrated both artistic growth and unwavering dedication to their craft. \nTheir journey has been marked by both triumph and adversity. A period of instability saw the lineup shift\, but through sobriety\, personal growth\, and renewed purpose\, the core members – Brian Swindle\, Nick Woolford\, Andrew Johnson\, and Steve Wootteon\, reunited in Baltimore\, Maryland\, revitalizing the band with a renewed sense of direction. \nTheir latest album\, the loneliest place I’ve ever been (Rude Records)\, is a powerful and introspective release. Balancing dark\, emotionally driven lyricism with infectious hooks\, the record reflects a pivotal chapter in Swindle’s journey toward sobriety. “It’s the record we always wanted to make\, dark yet hopeful\, polished yet imperfect.” \nWith a renewed lineup and creative energy\, Have Mercy has returned to the global stage\, continuing to solidify their reputation as a compelling and unmissable live act.

SUMMARY:Culture Wars
DESCRIPTION:Culture Wars is an Austin – bred\, Los Angeles – based alternative powerhouse bridging the gap between ’90s guitar grit and the cinematic polish of modern pop. Driven by “song – first” authenticity\, the band rejects the hyper – digitized landscape of modern rock in favor of real instruments and collective chemistry. Their highly anticipated debut album\, Don’t Speak (arriving April 10th)\, delivers a high – octane\, genre – blending sound that fuses surf – rock pulses and ’80s synth textures into arena – ready anthems. With nine tracks from the album already amassing millions of streams\, their one million monthly listeners are primed for the full project’s release. \nSince their 2021 EP teche\, Culture Wars has maintained an explosive upward trajectory as a formidable self – managed unit. Their relentless passion earned them coveted opening slots for global giants like Maroon 5 and LANY\, momentum they have since converted into a powerhouse headline presence. Having already sold out iconic venues in New York City\, Los Angeles\, and Lon don\, the band enters this album cycle as a proven global draw\, ready to lead the next generation of guitar – driven alternative music.

SUMMARY:MELATON
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1997 a group of Dublin school friends came together to form a band inspired by the music that had been soundtracking their teenage years. \nAlthough\, why Jonathan Black\, Andrew Brennan\, Declan Garvey and Anthony Mooney – who were inspired to make music by Radiohead\, Smashing Pumpkins and Jeff Buckley chose the band name ‘Purple Haze’ – remains a mystery to this day. \nShortly after forming – a much-needed change of name and lead singer occurred and Melaton was born. \nLed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Luke Slott\, the five friends quickly realised that they could write their own songs and by 2001 were the centre of a major label bidding war\, with the band eventually signing to Sony UK. Much to the delight of the band members’ parents\, the bidding war coincided with the lead up to their final school exams\, with the Sony deal signed in May 2001\, weeks before their leaving certificate. \nShortly after www.melaton.ie was set up and a CD was promised to anyone who logged on that year. “We initially said we would do 2\,000 of them and we thought that would do us for the year\,” Luke remembers\, “but it ended up we had requests for over 7\,000. And we really did make them and send them all out.” \nMelaton went on to release two more EPs – ‘Falling Star’ and ‘Still Water’ and toured extensively throughout the UK and Ireland as well as playing support to Ian Brown\, Elbow and JJ72. At the time their sound was as “…early U2 shot through with the haunting impact that first made us treasure Jeff Buckley. It’s the complex\, ethereal grace of Radiohead with none of the emotional distance.” \nStints with producer Stephen Street (The Smiths\, Blur) at Townhouse Studios in London and with U2 engineer Richard Rainey at St. Catherine’s Court in Bath (the site of the fabled OK Computer recordings) failed to yield the more commercial sound being sought by the record label. Pressure mounted to write more radio friendly singles and by early 2004 Melaton had collapsed under the weight of corporate expectations and the compromising of their creative process. \nAsked why the band chose Sony UK’s offer above any others\, Andrew Brennan says\, “I think they were the only label that weren’t insisting we had to move to London”. \nOver twenty years later\, Melaton are delighted to announce that they have reformed to play a show in Dublin’s Whelan’s on 26th June 2026 in aid of the amazing work done by Focus Ireland.

DESCRIPTION:‘90s’ Indie rock innovators Superchunk play Button Factory on Saturday the 27th of June – their first Irish show in 25 years. \n\nAfter almost four decades\, the North Carolina indie rock stalwarts remain one of those rare bands where the consensus\, amongst both critics and longtime fans\, is that their recent material rivals their beloved catalog—no small feat when that catalog includes classic indie albums like 1991’s No Pocky for Kitty and 1994’s Foolish\, and indelible garage-punk anthems like “Slack Motherfucker” and “Hyper Enough.” – SPIN Magazine \n  \n“Old habits die hard. “No Hope” applies Superchunk’s lifelong commitment to punk and indie-rock to the present moment: “Here we are singing ‘no hope\, hope\, no hope\, no hope\,’” declares Mac McCaughan\, Superchunk’s founder and leader since 1989\,” New York Times

SUMMARY:STIPE: A TRIBUTE TO R.E.M.
DESCRIPTION:R.E.M. formed in 1980\, in Athens\, Georgia and by the mid-nineties earned the tagline ‘the biggest band on the planet’ from the music press. \nThey pioneered the alternative rock scene with relentless touring and a distinctive sound and entered the 90s mainstream without compromising their artistic vision. They remain as relevant today as ever. \nTheir music is instantly recognisable: ringing guitar lines\, tasteful and clinical drumming\, melodic bass\, and sublime harmonies coupled with poetic (and political) lead vocals. \nContinuing as a trio after the departure of drummer Bill Berry in 1997\, R.E.M. broke up in September 2011\, just as they had started: as friends. They have ruled out ever re-forming. \nR.E.M. by Stipe\, the Definitive Tribute reflect the core of R.E.M.: four highly-experienced musicians who embody Berry\, Buck\, Mills and Stipe\, capturing the presence and performances of the band. \nAs huge fans of the band they are committed to holding true to the sound and overall aesthetic of R.E.M.\, so that fans\, old and new\, can experience the magic of hearing these songs played live with care\, conviction\, and affection. \nThey are joined on stage\, as R.E.M. were\, by additional musicians to help bring album tracks to life on stage. Each set-list is different\, but every show celebrates this timeless music for fans of R.E.M. \nHere is just a sample of what fans say about R.E.M. by Stipe\, the Definitive Tribute: \nIf you miss R.E.M. (or if you never saw them live) then Stipe are the next best thing to R.E.M. being back on tour.
