Just Mustard announce Makeshift Art Bar as special guests for 3Olympia gig

Dundalk band Just Mustard have announced Makeshift Art Bar as special guests for their 3Olympia gig on May 1.

Makeshift Art Bar made waves last year with the release of their celebrated debut EP, Lackluster Writing Makes Fundamental Reading. With their heavy, pulsating soundscapes, the band have already earned themselves an agency deal with ATC Live, support slots with Chalk, and numerous festival sets across the country. The Belfast band are featured in Hot Press' Hot for 2026.

Just Mustard released their third album, We Were Just Here, in October 2025, which earned the band a choice music prize nomination.

We were just here explores themes of insecurity, nostalgia, the passage of time, and finding joy in darkness.

In an interview with Hot Press, frontwoman Katie explains how the album came together.

“We were trying to balance gigging with writing, and it wasn’t really working for us,” Katie explains. “I know some bands can do it, but we found it hard. So we took last year off gigging completely – and started doing five days a week, trying to get it together.

“Maybe a bit of separation from playing all our older songs live made us able to write something fresher,” she continues. “It was good to just go, ‘Okay, no gigs – what can we do from here?’”

Tickets for the 3Olympia gig are on sale now and can be purchased here.
