Gig Guide: Chappell Roan, Ski Mask The Slump God, The Libertines & more
It’s an absolutely Femininominal month for live music in Ireland. Soundcloud legends, girly-pop icons and consolation shows for those who missed out on those Manc Brothers.
Ski Mask The Slump God
Venue: 3Olympia
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
Hip-hop heritage right here. Cast your mind back to the unapologetic, ignorant and unwavering energy of the SoundCloud era, what a time to be alive. One of the founding fathers himself, Ski Mask The Slump God will be landing in Dublin this month, scratching that itch for a moshpit or two.
The Awning
Venue: Workman’s Cellar
Doors: 20:00
Tickets available here
A blissful serenity surrounds everything that The Awning touches. A newfound Irish group, reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens, Big Thief or Elliott Smith. Type of music that can reduce the most hardiest fella to a sobbing mess.
Chappell Roan
Venue: 3Olympia
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
Gig of the month? If Brat Summer was patient zero, Chappell Roan fever has been the variant which buried us all. An intergalactic road to stardom has been paved by Chappell this year, solidifying the hold that the girly-pop sound has on society right now.
Meekz
Venue: The Academy
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
A rising star in the bustling British rap sphere. The Academy is one of our favourite places for a hip hop gig , because the energy is so easily transferable from artist to the crowd. When those 808s kick in on ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’, we expect a mini earthquake.
The Libertines
Venue: The Academy
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
Still got your head in your hands from missing out on Oasis tickets? Console yourself in the warm grasp of Pete Doherty and The Libertines. A tumultuous past has led to a beautiful reunion. Representing a golden era of British indie, there’s just something about that sound that transports you to a better time.
IAMDDB
Venue: The Academy Green Room
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
A voice like golden syrup with beats of afro-inspiration. Expect a bi-lingual vocal display from IAMDDB, singing in Angolan-Portugese and English. The release of her album “Love is War, Volume 6”, gives us a silky display of vocal perfection with sprinkles of classic jazz throughout.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Venue: The National Stadium
Doors: 19:00
Tickets available here
If you want to feel like your heart has fallen out of your chest with catharsis, then this one might be for you. Godspeed You! Black Emporer are no stranger to 20-minute tracks of cascading, reverb-heavy guitar commonly causing an out-of-body experience.
