Bladee announces headline show at The Academy

Swedish rapper Bladee has announced a headline show at The Academy in Dublin, on December 14, 2025.

Known for his experimental, underground approach to rap and electronic music, Bladee first gained attention in 2013 for his self-released work that developed outside traditional hip-hop scenes.

Based in Stockholm, he began crafting a sound influenced by internet subcultures and has remained a central figure in Drain Gang, a Swedish music collective he founded with his childhood friends Thaiboy Digital, Ecco2k, and Whitearmor.

Bladee’s discography includes three mixtapes, five EPs, four collaborative projects, and two studio albums. His debut mixtape Gluee (2014) and first studio album Eversince (2016) trace the development of his style, with later releases like Icedancer (2018) showcasing a blend of electronic and rap production.

Bladee’s most recent release was the three-track EP Ste the Beautiful Martyr 1st Attempt, which was released on April 30.

He frequently collaborates with producers such as Whitearmor, Yung Sherman, Gud, and Ripsquad.

Beyond music, Bladee has engaged in visual art and has exhibited work at The Residence Gallery in London. He also acts as the creative director for the clothing brand Sandboys Gear, a line founded by his friend and frequent collaborator Yung Lean.

Tickets go on sale from Friday, May 9 at 10am and can be found here.
