BED
bed have just announced their Irish debut with a headline show at Whelan’s Upstairs on the 3rd of November.
There are few bands in the world more exciting than bed, the Japanese four-piece who have broken through the hegemony of 2020s guitar music to make their mark on the international post-punk scene. Hailing from Tokyo, bed are a brilliant, volatile contradiction: A group of crack musicians whose deft-but-counterintuitive blend of techno, pop, punk and classic rock has earned them a reputation as one of the best live bands in Japan. This November bed will make their Irish debut at Whelan’s Upstairs.
A motley crew of punk devotees and indie die-hards willing to break the mould, bed are smart and clear-headed: Four virtuosic renegades ready to spread their gung-ho,deliciously laissez-faire attitude to the world. Unclassifiable by design: Their debut EP 円相 | Enso, released earlier this year, hops between soft-rock and techno anarchy with aplomb, making time to explore dance-punk and ragged-edged punk along the way. Sinji, the group’s founder, sees bed’s mission as one of constant exploration in the face of a world barrelling towards hegemony and sameness. Sinji started forming bed in the summer of 2021, when his project with Sony Japan was petering out and he was feeling a strong pull towards the kind of rock music he had actually been listening to his whole life. He knew his new housemate, Une, was a vocalist who had also grown frustrated with the J-pop industry: They started recording rough demos in Sinji’s bedroom and began establishing the foundation of the band.
Two more members completed the line-up: Sinji’s childhood friend, Shun-1, who had been working in a pickled plum packaging company, had just moved to Tokyo alone as his mental health condition was not understood in the rural environment he was living and working in; the band’s guitarist and youngest member Joneu was a university student with a strong interest in shoegaze and indie rock that Une found online. The freeform nature of the group’s construction in itself was appealing” That ethos is remarkable in Japan, a country that still boasts a robust music industry to a fault: There is little in the way of indie music there, and practically no bands like bed, which seek to upend established rhythms and ideals.
True to that idea, 円相 | Enso speaks to the quotidian drudgery of life in the big city, capturing the feeling of existing in a tradition-laden society with sharpness and wit. “風 | Kaze” was inspired by a walk bed took through Tokyo, where they could hear the rattling of a washing machine; its consistent rattling ended up inspiring a song about the way generational feelings can butt up against individual morals.
MOMO BOYD
Momo Boyd makes her solo Irish headline debut at The Sugar Club this November 4th.
Momo Boyd is a vocalist, songwriter, and producer based in New York City, known as a member of the Roc Nation signed sibling quartet Infinity Song.

Song,” a reflective track exploring the complexities of modern love. Most recently, she appeared alongside Kendrick Lamar on the Baby Keem single “Good Flirts,” to rave reviews. Now in 2026, Momo returns with “Strong,” a confident and introspective record that highlights her artistry while she continues her work with Infinity Song.

MARTIN LUKE BROWN
Martin Luke Brown plays Whelan’s Upstairs this December 04, 2026.
There’s life, there’s death, but everything else exists right here, in the beautiful middle. After a while, we all come to realise that really, that’s all there is. In this new era, Martin Luke Brown is drinking it all in.
After years of navigating the industry from every angle, the artist is rejecting rules, structures and expectations to instead reunite with the community roots of what music is all about. Creating music and living life as “service orientated”, he’s making art that exists as a time capsule of his own life. Leaving the edges rough and unedited as a show of devotion to the idea that what is most human is most universal.
Asking us repeatedly to consider that perhaps the most profound moments are the ones right in front of us; the dinner table conversations, the jokes with friends, the hazy nights out, Martin Luke Brown is now at his most candid, and his most captivating.

FOR THOSE I LOVE
For Those I Love plays Vicar Street this December 11th.
David Balfe, the songwriter, producer and visual creative behind Dublin’s For Those I Love has become one of Ireland’s most acclaimed contemporary voices, merging local storytelling with electronic music to explore class, grief, modern life and the friendships that underpin it. His self-titled 2021 debut earned widespread critical praise along with the Choice Music Prize, as his follow up Carving The Stone turned its gaze more critically inward, with a darker twist. 2026 saw Carving The Stone re-imagined as a strictly dancefloor record, performed as a once off, but teasing a return to the warehouse sonics that inspired his debut. His live shows combine a love for intimate performance with the theatrical, bringing together tales in a Dublin brogue and rattling club numbers
BONOBO
Bonobo announces National Stadium headline show for February 16th 2027.

It’s the latest from an artist who has forged a path as one of the defining voices in electronic music. A path that includes the release of two UK Top 5 albums (‘Migration’ and ‘Fragments’), billions of streams, collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu & Damon Albarn, and multiple BRIT & GRAMMY-nominations.
Across the record, Green collaborates with a typically striking cast of artists including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes, Nilüfer Yanya, Nicole Miglis & Aanya Martin. Lyrics appear in English, Urdu and Japanese, while historic Iranian samples & guzheng recordings sit alongside Green's own meticulously processed instrumentation, woven together across recording sessions spanning LA, Tokyo, London and beyond – with a significant portion of the record completed at Neil Young’s legendary Broken Arrow Ranch.
His acclaimed live show has also helped redefine what electronic music can look like on stage, taking him from sold-out performances at Sydney Opera House, Red Rocks & Alexandra Palace – plus a historic five-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall – to major festival stages including Glastonbury, Coachella and Fuji Rock.

HUDSON FREEMAN
Indie and lo‑fi folk artist Hudson Freeman plays Dublin for a headline show at The Workman’s Club on Saturday 12 September 2026. This date marks his debut Irish performance, following a breakout year that has seen his music connect with a rapidly growing global audience.
Hudson crafts a moody blend of bedroom pop, folk, and slowcore, drawing clear lines of inspiration from artists like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver while carving out a voice that feels wholly his own. His breakout single “If You Know Me” has recently begun pulling in listeners far beyond his usual orbit, built around a singular, looping guitar riff and mantra‑like lyrics that showcase his instinctive melodic flair.
Spring 2025 saw the release of his latest album, “is a folk artist” – a quietly devastating, slow‑burning record that has resonated with fans of modern indie folk. Across its songs, Freeman weaves questions of faith, belonging, and anxiety into spacious arrangements that feel both intimate and expansive, underlining his reputation as a digital‑age storyteller with rare emotional clarity.
At The Workman’s Club this September, audiences can expect a set that traces Hudson’s journey from Eswatini bedrooms to Brooklyn apartments – songs that sit at the intersection of confessional folk and DIY indie, performed with the rawness and vulnerability that have made his recent work so compelling.

Running from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th September, The Last Days of Dalymount will bring four distinctive nights of music to the historic home of Bohemian FC before the ground enters its next chapter. The programme spans generations and the breadth of contemporary Irish music, bringing together artists with deep connections to Dublin’s musical and cultural life.

MORE THAN A FOOTBALL GROUND..
The series is as much a cultural marker as it is a musical event.
Dalymount Park has been the home of Bohemian FC since it opened in 1901. Affectionately known as “Dalyer”, it became known across generations as the spiritual home of Irish football: the setting for international matches, historic European nights, FAI Cup finals, great victories, painful defeats and countless memories passed from one generation of supporters to the next.
For more than 125 years, people have made their way through the streets of Phibsborough and beneath Dalymount’s floodlights to gather, sing and share in the community it creates. The ground’s importance reaches far beyond the pitch. It is part of Dublin’s living social history, a meeting place shaped by supporters, players, musicians, artists, activists, volunteers and the surrounding community.
Dalymount also occupies a unique place in Ireland’s musical memory. Thin Lizzy brought Irish rock to the ground in 1977, while Bob Marley & The Wailers played their only Irish concert there on 6 July 1980. That now-legendary performance would become Marley’s final outdoor concert and remains one of the most evocative moments in Irish live-music history.
Status Quo also performed at Dalymount, while the Sunstroke festivals of the 1990s brought acts including Sonic Youth, Faith No More, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Ice Cube, Therapy? and The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy to Phibsborough. These concerts helped establish Dalymount as a place where football, music, youth culture and the changing identity of Dublin could meet.
That connection has continued into the present day. Recent events at Dalymount have welcomed KNEECAP, Greta Thunberg, Bobby Gillespie, David Holmes and many more, reflecting the values of a club that has increasingly used its platform to support music, creativity, inclusion and social change.
Bohemian FC remains proudly supporter-owned, with its identity sustained by its members, supporters and volunteers. The club’s relationship with music is not simply part of its past; it has become central to how Bohemians understand their place in the fabric of the city, outward-looking in their values and committed to the cultural life of Ireland.
With the redevelopment of Dalymount approaching at the end of this season, The Last Days of Dalymount welcomes audiences a chance to experience this historic ground for one last time in a completely different way. These four nights will celebrate everything Dalymount has represented for more than a century.
Bohemians' fans presale: Wednesday 29th July, 9 AM via the Bohemian FC Mailing. Link goes out to the mailing list Tuesday evening. POD Presale: Sign up via the registration links above.
General sale: Thursday 30th July, 9 AM via Ticketmaster.ie

JOY (ANONYMOUS)
JOY (ANONYMOUS) play The Workman’s Club this August 28th, 2026.
The name ‘Joy (Anonymous)’ is taken from the work Henry did with Alcoholics Anonymous groups: it is a way to build a community around sharing joy. Their impromptu live sets are known as ‘meetings’; they encourage fans to share moments of joy to their website. They care deeply about the scene they’ve come up in and are determined not to leave it behind. Every show is another chance to reach out and connect with people who love to come together and revel in music as loud as it can go.
Support slots for Fred Again and The Streets, wild B2Bs with Fred and Skrillex, and a set at Four Tet’s Finsbury Park all-dayer this summer have given the duo the opportunity to live out childhood dreams and introduced their infectious live shows to new audiences at huge venues.
With an album as assured and joyful as Cult Classics on the horizon (and a killer collab with The Blessed Madonna coming up), they’re only going to reach higher heights. But the essence of Joy (Anonymous) remains on the South Bank. Between shows at Ally Pally in September, they dragged their camping chairs and gear back down to the banks of the Thames: and it just felt right.
PREWN
Prewn plays The Grand Social this August 26th, 2026.
Prewn is the project of Izzy Hagerup, born out of years of songwriting and shaped into one of Western Massachusetts’ most exciting emerging bands.

Known for their visceral performances and a sound that balances fragility with fierce intensity, Prewn stands out as a project unafraid to confront heavy themes with raw honesty and unshakable resolve.

Fresh from a major main stage performance at Coachella, Addison’s momentum is hitting a new peak, with her Dublin date shaping up as one of the summer’s most anticipated shows. “Addison Rae dazzled the Coachella audience with her pop girl glamour… bringing all the avant-garde drama the singer is known for.” – Rolling Stone
Wicklow quartet Florence Road are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new acts in Ireland. Longlisted for the BBC Sound of 2026 poll and praised by NME, Rolling Stone, and Clash, the four-piece Lily, Emma, Ailbhe, and Hannah have already built a global following of over one million, even before the release of their debut mixtape, Fall Back. With a sound that is equal parts Cranberries nostalgia with the grit of Wolf Alice, their sound moves effortlessly between soft and explosive. Early co-signs from Olivia Rodrigo and beabadoobee have accelerated their rise, with standout track Goodnight, marking them as a band on the cusp of something much bigger.
“The Irish four-piece are one of the most-tipped new bands on the planet right now” CLASH
Also on the bill, Empress Of delivers her sleek blend of indie-pop and alt-R&B, a left-field pop voice with a reputation for high-impact live sets.
Addison’s debut album Addison landed last summer to widespread acclaim, with The New York Times calling it “one of the year’s signature pop releases.” At the same time, the Associated Press hailed her as a “new pop powerhouse.” Billboard declared that “Rae’s debut proves her to be one of pop's current crew.”
Singles including Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine, Headphones On, and Fame is a Gun have cemented her as a chart force, while her GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist signals an artist moving fast on her own terms.

Together, they bring innovation, momentum and serious presence to the Irish scene.
O'FLYNN
O’Flynn’s debut live show marks a new chapter, an opportunity to reimagine his catalogue beyond the club. Known for his dynamic DJ sets, O’Flynn now steps into a more immersive space, blending unreleased and unheard material with the high-energy sounds that define his performances.
'Putting together a live show of my music has always been a dream of mine. I’m so excited to finally explore and perform pieces that don’t always fit into my club sets. Playing live opens up a whole new space, a chance to bring forward music that hasn’t yet had its moment in front of an audience, and to let it flow into the more high-energy tunes in a completely new way.'
A project long in the making, the live show captures both the emotional depth and rhythmic intensity of his music in a fresh form.With releases on Blip Discs, Ninja Tune, and his own imprint Hundred Flowers, O’Flynn’s productions have garnered support from Four Tet, Ben UFO, Gilles Peterson, James Blake and Bonobo – along with key editorial platform endorsements such as Boiler Room and The Guardian, the latter championing him as “dance floor dynamite”.

Jehnny Beth
Jehnny Beth brings the “You Heartbreaker, You Tour” to The Workman’s Club on March 24th, 2026
Where art meets energy: Jehnny Beth transforms the stage into pure, electric theatre.
Jehnny Beth first came to prominence as the compelling frontwoman of Savages, the Mercury Prize–nominated post-punk band known for its live performances and stark lyricism. Her acclaimed solo debut To Love Is To Live (2020) expanded that vision — bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged. Since then, she has multiplied collaborations (Idles, Gorillaz, Sextile, Bobby Gillespie...) while simultaneously continuing her career in acting with standout performances in Audiard’s Paris, 13th District, and Triet’s Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall. In 2020, she created the TV series ECHOES to spotlight emerging artists like Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C., and Kneecap.
In 2022, she returned to the stage with IDLES, toured with Depeche Mode in Europe, and joined Queens of the Stone Age across the U.S., where performing at hardcore and metal festivals sparked a new creative fire. Reuniting in France with longtime creative partner Johnny Hostile — just off tour with Nick Cave & Warren Ellis — she began shaping the forthcoming You Heartbreaker, You — a cathartic, radical album born of urgency, joy, and rebellion. With instinctive lyrics, fierce vocals, and Hostile’s uncompromising production, the record channels chaos into sonic liberation. You Heartbreaker, You offers a visceral space to scream, breathe, and feel alive in a world teetering on collapse.

It’s a bold shift — a new chapter that stays true to their essence while opening new doors.
Across more than 32 dates throughout Europe and the UK, the Elsewhere tour will take them to some of the continent’s most iconic venues — including Élysée Montmartre (Paris), Melkweg (Amsterdam), Huxleys Neue Welt (Berlin), Scala (London), and Vicar Street (Dublin).

SAYA GRAY
Japanese-Canadian artist, Saya Gray plays Opium this November 05th.
Saya has a unique ability to create a collage of sounds that feel both comforting and disorienting, vast yet intimate. Her releases so far, 2022’s ‘19MASTERS’ , 2023’s ‘QWERTY I’ and 2024’s 'QWERTY II' were made in periods of intense isolation, and as Saya herself describes it, she puts ‘1000 personalities in one song’. It’s this unfiltered, frenzied approach to her art that she feels is necessary to reclaim her sense of self in an ever changing world - and in the process marking her as one of the most exciting, up and coming musicians operating today. 2025 is a landmark year for Saya as she released her debut album ’SAYA” - which is by far her most personal and intimate project to date.
Tickets on sale Friday 6th of June @ 10:00am

BEVERLY GLENN-COPELAND
Beverly Glenn-Copeland plays The Button Factory this October 07th, 2025.
