Joshua Burnside announces Dublin show

Joshua Burnside will be performing at Vicar Street on May 16, 2027. The show will be his biggest headliner in Dublin yet.

Burnside is a singer-songwriter and producer from Northern Ireland. He is known for blending electronica and experimentalism with Irish trad music. The music of Eastern Europe, Indonesia, and Colombia, where he wrote his debut album, have also influenced his style significantly.

His album It's Not Going To Be Okay came out this March. Its folksy, melancholy sound will appeal to fans of Noah Kahan or Ye Vagabonds.

"I wrote and recorded this album after the death of one of my closest friends Dean Jendoubi, and most of the songs deal directly with that", Burnside wrote. "He was an incredible person, and I miss him every day".
