Lowkey announces headline show at Button Factory

UK rapper Lowkey has announced a headline show at Dublin's Button Factory for May 4, 2025.

Hip-hop artist and political activist Lowkey is a prominent figure in the scene, reviving the tradition of conscious hip-hop for the War on Terror generation.

His work is distinct with politically charged lyrics, tackling issues like race, war, global poverty, and politics, delivered through anthemic choruses and high-energy performances.

Over the years, he has collaborated with artists such as Immortal Technique, Wretch 32, Akala, Dead Prez, and Outlawz. He is also part of the supergroup Mongrel, alongside members of Arctic Monkeys, Babyshambles, and Reverend and The Makers.

As a solo artist, his music has gained widespread recognition, with millions of streams on Spotify and over 45 million views on YouTube. His independently released 2011 album Soundtrack to the Struggle reached #6 on the UK R&B chart and appeared in multiple UK charts. He was featured in MTV Base’s Best of the Best UK MCs list in both 2010 and 2011.
