LP, aka Laura Pergolizzi, has announced a headline gig for Dublin's Olympia Theatre, taking to the stage on May 21st 2019.

A straight-talking no bullshit artist, LP's 2018 Heart To Mouth stands out as her most direct statement yet.

“When I get on the mic and start doing melodies, I can feel that direct line from my heart to my mouth," she says. “In the past, there was a city full of streets that needed my attention. Now, I feel like I have a major highway to communicate emotion from. Whether they’re sadder songs or big anthems, they all come from the same place.”

“I learned a lot over the years as far as what I want for myself, what I want to say, what I want to convey to people, and what I want to perform," she continues. “I can finally portray who I want to portray and how. It all stems from freedom in my work. I don’t have to ask anybody for permission. I could be myself, and I really had some shit I wanted to say. None of us go through life unscathed, but at least you can write about it.”

“I can go the whole gamut of emotions in one day."

"I’ve learned how to explain myself more succinctly with fewer words. That was the goal. There’s no cloying.”

Tickets priced from €31 go on sale this Friday, December 14 at 10am from Ticketmaster.
