SUMMARY:Haute and Freddy
DESCRIPTION:Haute & Freddy is the dazzling brainchild of Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp. The duo released their first single “Scantily Clad\,” sparking a devoted fanbase. The song has landed them on Spotify playlists Lorem\, Obsessed\, and the cover of Fresh Finds paving the way for their second single “Anti-Superstar\,” which has also been embraced with equal support and looks on multiple Spotify playlists leading to them being named on Spotify’s Artists To Watch for 2026. Their third single “Shy Girl” is currently their most streamed track and has been licensed 5 times over for film & tv projects. \nFast forward to now\, and the comment sections are buzzing with fans speaking in Ren Faire lingo\, while their shows are filled with attendees crafting their own jester hats\, as a mime clown joyfully twists balloon crowns for the rest of the Royal Court—aka H&F’s loyal followers. With their debut album on the horizon and their sold-out Mini Grand Tour under their belt\, Haute & Freddy’s momentum is picking up speed. Fans devoured the recently released videos for “Shy Girl”\, “Sophie” and “Freaks.” More festivals and tour dates in the works for 2026 when the album drops. Their latest single is a new anthem “Dance The Pain Away” out now\, with their debut album Big Disgrace coming out via Atlantic Records on March 13th.  \nTheir love for theater\, obscure synths\, and underground club culture runs deep\, infusing every track with an audacious energy. The duo moves through their music like runaway carnies\, crashing through the veneer of polite society with all the flair of an 18th-century escapade.

SUMMARY:Lavender
DESCRIPTION:Meet lavender\, a winsome London-based duo consisting of Oskar Rice and Adam Jackson. You can hear the confluence of their weirdly disconnected musical worlds merge on these songs. \nTheir influences\, which range from American Football to Burial\, Steve Reich to J Dilla\, are mixed up in a minestrone of sounds. The songs\, with these vivid textural patterns\, gossamer-thin layers of audio competing and commingling to create these magical\, melody-rich results. Big fans of sampling\, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where they begin and Adam’s voice or Oskar’s beats end. And that’s how they like it. Multiple plays reward the listener as the music unravels and gradually reveals its secrets.

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Katriona O’Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Éire to Everywhere is delighted to welcome the wonderful Katriona O’Sullivan\, who many will know from her gritty and powerful memoir Poor\, recently staged as a play. She joins us at EPIC to discuss her new book Hungry\, another biography\, this time focusing on the topic of body positivity and how she has struggled with this despite academic and professional accolades. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. We would ask that you arrive no later than 5:35pm\, as it’s imperative these events begin on time to ensure the best experience for the author and for our visitors. \nAbout the Book\nKatriona O’Sullivan has come a long way from the poverty\, chaos and abuse she knew growing up. A respected academic and bestselling author\, she defied every expectation placed on the teenage mother she once was. \nYet even as the accolades arrived\, old beliefs held fast. No degree\, no award\, no recognition could silence the sense that she was only worthy when her body looked the way society said it should. \nIn this fierce and fearless memoir\, Katriona pulls back the curtain on her journey: the relentless comparison to the curated bodies of strangers on the internet\, the dangerous weight-loss treatments\, the attempts to reshape herself into an impossible ideal – and how she slowly learned to accept and love herself. \nHungry is an unforgettable examination of how gender\, class and trauma shape a woman’s sense of worth. It is one woman’s story – and a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive. \nAbout the Author\n\nDr Katriona O’Sullivan is a professor of psychology and the bestselling r Bio author of Poor\, winner of Biography of the Year and Newcomer of the Year at the Irish Book Awards. The memoir has been translated into seven languages\, adapted into a sold-out play at Dublin’s Gate Theatre\, and remained in Ireland’s top-ten nonfiction chart for two years. A regular commentator on the BBC and across Irish and international media\, she has spoken at Westminster\, the UN and UNESCO. \n\nBorn in Coventry to Irish parents\, her early life was marked by poverty\, addiction\, teenage pregnancy and homelessness. In 1998\, she moved to Dublin\, where she entered Trinity College through the access programme and went on to earn a PhD in psychology. Now a professor at Maynooth University\, she directs the National Centre for Inclusive Higher Education and leads the award-winning STEM Passport for Inclusion\, which has supported over 10\,000 young people from underserved communities into higher education and high-status careers. \nEndorsements of Hungry\n“Raw and remarkable” – The Irish Independent \n“As profound and honest as anything I have ever read” – Liz Nugent \n“Soaring with compassion\, intelligence and hard-won wisdom” – Louise Kennedy \nEndorsements of Poor\n“O’Sullivan’s redemptive arc has had to break through the systemic discrimination” – RTÉ Bookclub \n“Grit\, courage\, and the life-changing value of self-belief” – Irish Central

SUMMARY:Harakiri For The Sky
DESCRIPTION:Despair\, loss\, love\, and existential struggles have always been the foundation of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY’s distinctive sound. Since their formation in 2011\, multi-instrumentalist M.S. and vocalist J.J. have gained recognition for pushing musical boundaries with their emotionally charged blend of atmospheric extreme metal and melodic post-rock\, grunge and modern hardcore\, carving out a genre of their own. After maintaining a steady two-year release rhythm and producing five albums in nine years\, the band decided to break from tradition following 2021’s “Maere” (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts). Taking four years to craft their next epic chapter\, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY will now release their new tour-de-force\, “Scorched Earth”\, in January 2025 through AOP Records. \nMusically\, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY continues to evolve\, but don’t stray too far away from the path they have been walking for the past 13 years. Their music is renowned for its melancholic\, deeply emotional tone\, exploring themes of existential despair\, inner turmoil\, and the human condition. Over the years\, these themes have solidified their place as pioneers of their own genre. \nGrowth has been a defining element for HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY in recent years. They’ve headlined tours across Europe\, North America\, South America\, Asia\, and Australia\, earning a reputation as one of the most emotionally intense live acts in modern metal. Additionally\, they’ve garnered five nominations for Austria’s prestigious Amadeus Music Award. Now\, the band is ready to return to the stage\, kicking off an extensive North American tour with Swallow The Sun in February\, followed by a European headline tour in April to unveil “Scorched Earth” to the world.

SUMMARY:LEENALCHI
DESCRIPTION:Leenalchi is a seven-piece band from Seoul that draws on the folk storytelling tradition of pansori\, and will remind you of the Talking Heads. \nTheir line-up is as singular as their sound – featuring two bassists\, drums\, keys\, no guitar\, and three singers. The band’s creator and visionary\, bassist Young Gyu Jang\, is also behind several beloved horror soundtracks and the now-disbanded iconic art band SsingSsing\, which Tiny Desk’s Bob Boilen described as “one of my most memorable Tiny Desk Concerts of all time.” Leenalchi is a seven-piece band from Seoul that draws on the folk storytelling tradition of pansori\, and will remind you of the Talking Heads. In 2026\, the band will announce their first ever release outside Korea\, beginning with an EP in April and followed by their full length debut\, TIGER IS COMING\, in September on Luaka Bop\, the New York record label founded by David Byrne.

SUMMARY:Spike F**k
DESCRIPTION:For ten years Melbourne’s Spike Fuck has existed more as a messy myth than an artist – sporadic works forever poised on the precipice of triumph\, rumours of death or insanity and so on. Spike’s foray into music in 2015 served a cultural fantasy\, not by any overarching sense of ambition\, but rather a would-be\, cosplay pop star arrested by his own devices and whose melancholy wove through unlikely cultural circles. \n  \nHis sole body of work\, The Smackwave EP (Partisan Records)\, addressed themes as literal as the title suggests: drug use\, gender identity\, religion and existentialism. Soon after its release\, Spike was swept up in the whirlwind of unexpected success\, moving from underground warehouse parties to being draped in high fashion and editorial photoshoots accompanied by interviews\, in which he gave unrelenting and uncensored details of his life. \nReturning in 2024 after a four-year hiatus\, Spike has returned sober\, clear-eyed\, and transformed. Spike is no longer alone with a backing track\, but fronting a rotating full band. Together they channel ’70s glam\, spiritual soul\, and damaged rock’n’roll; always refracted through Spike’s unmistakable\, bruised\, and poetic voice.

SUMMARY:The Magnificent
DESCRIPTION:The world premiere of The Magnificent invites us into the last Christmas together for a remarkable group of nuns who have lived together for many years.  \nThrough the eyes of their new nurse\, Rose\, we discover these unforgettable women who are complicated\, contrary\, and full of stories. The Magnificent explores the tensions and tenderness between them\, as the consequences of their careers\, lives and choices come knocking.   \nA warm\, witty and deeply human new play written by Erica Murray\, The Magnificent is directed by one of Ireland’s leading theatre directors\, Joe Dowling\, in his first production at the Abbey Theatre since the sold-out run of Faith Healer in 2021.  \nJoin us this winter for a striking new play about friendship\, faith\, change\, and the small things that keep us connected.  \nErica Murray\nErica Murray is an Irish playwright who has had an extraordinary 2026 – beginning with an Abbey Theatre national tour of her play for young people\, In Real Life; followed by the New York premiere of her 2023 play The Loved Ones; followed by the world premiere of Meredith at the Gate Theatre as part of Dublin Theatre Festival; and closing out the year with this Christmas Abbey Stage production of The Magnificent. \nJoe Dowling\nJoe Dowling has been an actor\, director\, and teacher for nearly sixty years.  At age 29\, he was appointed the youngest ever artistic director of the Abbey Theatre. In 1987\, he founded The Gaiety School of Acting\, the first full-time acting training in Ireland.  In New York\, he directed the Tony Award-nominated  productions of Molière’s Tartuffe and Dion Boucicault’s London Assurance. For Shakespeare in the Park\, he directed Othello\, with Raul Julia and Christopher Walken.

His last Abbey Theatre production was a revival of Faith Healer in 2021\, which he had first directed in 1980 in the European premiere of Brian Friel’s masterpiece.

SUMMARY:Waylon Wyatt
DESCRIPTION:Waylon Wyatt is a 19-year-old folk-country artist from Hackett\, Arkansas\, known for his raw\, red-dirt take on Americana. He began writing songs as a kid\, often after long days working construction with his father. Waylon recorded and produced his debut EP Til The Sun Goes Down in the rec room of his childhood home. The EP has amassed over 225 million streams and two of its standout tracks “Arkansas Diamond” and “Jailbreak” have earned RIAA Gold certifications. \nDrawing inspiration from modern trailblazers like Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan\, Waylon has cemented his place as a “rising country star to know” (GRAMMY.com) and was named one of VEVO’s 2026 DSCVR Artists to Watch. He has played sold-out stages worldwide\, headlining major U.S. venues and delivering standout performances at Stagecoach\, Cavendish Beach Music Festival\, and FairWell Festival\, as well as joining Zach Bryan at London’s Hyde Park. Waylon continues his global momentum with appearances at C2C Festival across Europe\, CMC Rocks in Australia\, select North American dates supporting Sam Barber\, and major festivals including Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. Waylon’s highly anticipated debut album Dustpiles will arrive in July alongside an accompanying headline world tour. \nWaylon says of the tour: “The Dustpiles World Tour is the biggest and best one for me yet!! Gonna be traveling far and wide across this giant moving sphere. So much is in store for the Dustpiles Tour!!” Dustpiles is a deeply personal collection of songs exploring love and loss\, revealing Waylon at his most introspective and vulnerable. Widely recognized for his acclaimed songwriting\, the project also marks a creative turning point for the artist. For the first time\, Waylon steps outside his comfort zone to collaborate with a diverse group of songwriters and producers\, including Carter Faith\, Joe Becker (Sam Barber)\, Tofer Brown (Tim McGraw\, Old Dominion)\, and Anderson East (Miranda Lambert\, The Red Clay Strays\, Ty Myers) to name a few. \nWaylon shared the project’s latest single “But There Was a Time .” Built around slide guitar\, dark acoustic textures\, and Waylon’s raw vocal delivery\, the track explores the feeling of reconnecting with someone who once meant everything to you\, only to realize the relationship may not have carried the same weight for them. LISTEN HERE

SUMMARY:Singular Artist: Adult DVD
DESCRIPTION:Adult DVD are on the precipice of something big…whether tapping into their love for chorus-centric indie or the influence of acid house floor fillers\, DJing\, or remixing their musical contemporaries their core appeal remains consistent: undeniable humour\, bold danceable instrumentals and instantly memorable songwriting. \nFormed by vocalist Harry Hanson and synth-player Greg Lonsdale\, the project has quickly expanded to a full band with Danny Blackburn (guitar/synth)\, Jake Williams (synth)\, Jonathan Newell (drums)\, and George Manson (bass). \nThe band have received extensive early press support including being tipped by Rolling Stone UK as a ‘Ones To Watch For 2026’\, plus they have been playlisted at BBC 6 Music and had support from BBC Radio 1 and more.

SUMMARY:LAURA SMYTH: BORN AGGY

SUMMARY:McGrath
DESCRIPTION:Following the striking introduction of debut single “Rotha”\, McGrath continues to establish himself as one of Ireland’s most distinctive emerging voices\, pairing vivid storytelling with sharp wit\, emotional honesty\, and a singular vocal presence. \nOriginally from Donegal and now based in Belfast\, McGrath was first discovered performing in a local pub\, where his commanding voice and sharply observed songwriting quickly turned heads. \nSinging songs about drinking stout with his father\, the arrival of the horsemen of the apocalypse\, and the endless turns of “Rotha Mór an tSaoil” (‘The Great Wheel of Life’)\, McGrath balances humour\, melancholy\, and poetic insight in equal measure. \nHis voice and sharp-witted lyricism caught the attention of George Ezra\, who invited him to open for him in 2025\, while a coveted slot at Dublin’s renowned Ruby Sessions further cemented his reputation as a compelling live performer. With festival appearances across Paris\, Manchester and London\, and more new music planned throughout 2026\, McGrath is steadily building momentum as one of Ireland’s most intriguing new songwriting voices. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Nimino
DESCRIPTION:​​nimino is one of the most exciting names in electronic music. His 2024 hit I Only Smoke When I Drink has surpassed 250 million streams\, charted on the UK Singles Chart\, and spent over 20 weeks on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Chart. He followed I Only Smoke When I Drink with his Creek EP in March 2025\, which was then followed by a series of notable single releases. nimino has performed at major festivals such as Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Leeds Fest\, Boomtown\, Field Day\, Cercle\, CRSSD\, and Lightning in a Bottle\, as well as sold-out headline shows at venues globally. He is signed to Ninja Tune’s Counter Records. Before he began releasing and performing music under the moniker nimino\, Milo Evans’ musical journey started in his teenage years growing up in the UK as a way to channel his ADHD. \nBeginning with simple loop-stitching on an Asus laptop\, music quickly became an obsession. By the time he finished studying music technology in Brighton\, he had created the equivalent of eight albums’ worth of material. His first release as nimino in 2013—a slo-mo\, bass-inflected take on Pixies’ Where Is My Mind—marked the beginning of his career when it amassed hundreds of thousands of plays on SoundCloud and earned him the title of Huffington Post’s “Artist of the Month.” \nBy 2020\, nimino had cultivated an engaged community across his social platforms and launched a series called songs for people you may know\, where he created custom songs for fans. “I’d go on Instagram\, and people would give me ideas to build a song around\,” he explains. “It felt like a perfect way to connect with fans and show how fast I could make a decent song in a variety of styles.” Early in the series\, someone requested a track that would be the perfect festival opener. “I made something with a long build-up and a huge emotional drop. A week or so later\, I played it live\, and people went crazy. ” That track\, Opening Credits\, released in 2022\, quickly became a fan favorite. Since then\, nimino has released several singles and an EP\, with each new release continuing the journey of the nimino character through its artwork. “The nimino character symbolizes the journey my musical tastes have taken—more so by the environments he’s ended up in through no choice of his own. The travels he goes on accompany the music I’m making\, and vice versa\, but he’s also sort of nothing to do with me personally—just a little guy on an expedition through different spaces\, discovering different sounds.”

SUMMARY:Stop Making Sense Live!
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists proudly present Stop Making Sense – Live for a headline show in The Button Factory\, Dublin on Saturday\, 28 November 2026. \n\nTickets are available from singularartists.ie on Friday\, 15 May at 10am. \nOn 19th October 1984\, Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme released the greatest concert movie of all time. \nLast year\, Slippery People recreated ‘Stop Making Sense’ live on stage at Gorilla in the city of Manchester. The show was an overwhelming success with an incredible online response from the audience which led to the band announcing follow up shows in Albert Hall where they played to over 3\,000 people on both nights. Now they’re bringing this to Dublin. \nSinger Duncan Wallis of indie-pop favourites Dutch Uncles dons the famous big suit\, dances with the lamp\, plays along with the ghetto blaster as the rest of the band not only bring the music to life but also the iconic choreography\, all played out in front of the big screen. \nThe film was like no other concert-movie that had come before – for one\, the viewer doesn’t see the audience until the final song. But what really makes Stop Making Sense stand out is the form it takes. David Byrne walking on stage armed only with a guitar and a beatbox performs ‘Psycho Killer’ solo. He’s joined by bass player Tina Weymouth for the ballad ‘Heaven’ and then drummer Chris Frantz for ‘Thank You For Sending Me An Angel’ with Jerry Harrison completing the founding line-up of the band for the staccato ‘Found A Job’. \nBut this is where Talking Heads are just getting warmed up. \nEach song brings new members on to the stage; a percussionist\, backing singers\, virtuoso funk guitarist Alex Weir and the great Bernie Worrell with his signature synth sound that elevates the whole show beyond that of a normal rock concert and into the stratosphere. \nSadly the tour which preceded ‘Stop Making Sense’ was the last from the band and fans have been unable to see the magic that was made on that night in 1984 live. There have been reissues of the concert film\, which received a cinematic release in 2023\, and solo runs from David Byrne\, perhaps most notably his ‘American Utopia’ tour but Talking Heads never reunited to play together. \nAnd so Slippery People\, the band consisting of 10 members\, will play all of the Talking Heads songs featured in the film. From ‘Psycho Killer’ to ‘Burning Down The House’ to ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and everything in between. \n\nThey have a tape they’d like to play for you\, and everyone is getting involved.

SUMMARY:Dylan John Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Forty million streams and 60\,000 tickets can’t be wrong. The numbers don’t lie\, and nor do the tunes – impassioned songs of love and regret\, faith and fatalism\, rejection and connection\, realism and idealism. \nAfter selling out six nights at the Barrowlands\, Dylan John Thomas is Scotland’s worst kept musical secret. From pavement to arena\, the DIY artist who did it all for himself\, all the way to a sell-out homecoming show at Glasgow’s 14\,300-capacity Ovo Hydro. A self-taught\, multi-instrumentalist\, mainlining the old-time rhythm of Johnny Cash (“boom-chicka-boom…”)\, the high-picking melodies of Simon & Garfunkel\, the lyrical poeticism of Leonard Cohen – but all retooled with a twentysomething’s freshness\, rigour and vigour\, and the ardent fandom to match. Boom-chicka-BOOM. \nHis second album\, Nothing Here Worth Taking\, was recorded at Magic Box studios over the past year with Scotty Anderson (The Snuts). Entirely written by Dylan\, with most of the instruments self-played too\, the 10-track set is a rousing\, carousing blast of brass\, blues\, banjo\, piano and classic\, retro-futureproof\, singalong songwriting. \nThat spirit is there in vivid form on lead single ‘Got You on My Mind’. The first song completed for the album\, it’s a banjo-and brass-driven anthem. “I got into banjo two years ago\, just after the first album came out\,” Dylan explains. “We went on a wee trip round Scotland\, and I took it with us. We were just kicking around\, playing all the old folk songs. And by the time it came to recording this album\, I’d written a couple of songs on it.”
