Teddy Swims surprises fans with impromptu performance in Dublin pub

Patrons of O’Regans were pleasantly surprised with a spontaneous performance from Teddy Swims ahead of his second gig in the 3Olympia.

The singer made a pit-stop into the pub on Fade Street and sang a few of his most famous songs.

In between taking sips from his pint of Guinness, Swims performed ‘Lose Control’ and ‘The Door’ from his album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy, as the crowd of Dubliners watched on.

Staff members from the pub shared pictures and videos from his visit, saying it was an “absolute pleasure” hosting the singer.

Swims rose to prominence last year after his single, ‘Lose Control’, reached the top ten in various international territories and topped the Billboard Top 100 in 2024.

His 2023 debut album I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1) was written over the course of four years and was made to be an album that tells the singer's story.

“Now I’m watching people connect with the messages and stories and realising not only are the songs helping me, but they’re also helping them too,” said Swims in a Rolling Stone interview in March this year.

“It feels like all that work on the back end, all that internalising, is finally making a difference.”

The Atlanta-based musician sold out both dates for his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour in Dublin this week, where he took to the stage on the first night showing his love for the Irish wearing an Ireland sweatshirt.
