MayKay is stepping into her own spotlight. With her debut solo album dropping October 10 on GrainStore Records, the former Fight Like Apes frontwoman has announced a headline date at Whelan’s this December 18.

The record, born out of grief and self-discovery, leans into raw themes of loss and renewal—led by the single “Busted.” Ahead of the release, MayKay hits a run of intimate in-stores in Dublin, Limerick, and Cork.

Her Whelan’s show marks a new chapter: MayKay, unfiltered and finally solo on her own stage.

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.

Freddie Gibbs has long been one of hip-hop’s most vital and inimitable voices, an artist whose razor-sharp lyricism, technical command, and unfiltered storytelling have shaped the sound of modern rap. Since emerging in 2004, the Indiana native has built a fiercely loyal global fanbase off the strength of more than 20 mixtapes, eight EPs, four studio albums, and a run of collaborative releases that have become touchstones in the genre.

O’Flynn’s debut live show marks a new chapter, an opportunity to reimagine his catalogue beyond the club.

He plays The Grand Social on Saturday 18th of April, 2026. Tickets go on sale Thursday, November 6th at 9am.

'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”.
