Update: The upcoming 100 Gecs show in Dublin and the EU tour in general has been cancelled which means all the dates in the poster below are not happening. Ticketgoers have received notification from the ticket sellers that the gigs have been cancelled. The band have yet to make a statement but we will add it when they do.
A year after the American hyperpop duo last played Dublin, they will return for a show at the 3Olympia Theatre on 24th October 2023.
Laura Les and Dylan Brady have since released their second album 10,000 gecs; to much acclaim and they are a band on the up – creating eclectic boundary-pushing music drawing from all corners of the music sphere.
Tickets are €29.90 plus fees on sale Friday 26th May at 10am from Ticketmaster.
About 100 Gecs
100 gecs, the duo Laura Les and Dylan Brady, planted their flag on the proverbial pop culture moon with the release of the 2019 debut album 1,000 gecs. The innovative album captivated online fan forums and music literati alike with The New York Times calling it, “some of the savviest pop music of the year,” and Rolling Stone dubbing it “one of 2019’s most exciting debuts.” The years that followed saw the St. Louis natives go from unlikely SoundCloud cult heroes to show-stopping wizard-cloaked pied pipers, covering magazines and selling out concerts across the globe.
With the arrival of their long-awaited sophomore album, 10,000 gecs, in March 2023, 100 gecs appear yet again to be two steps ahead of the curve on the ever-molting pop music landscape. Vulture praised the “intangible and ineffable” sound of the album calling it “high concept pop” and fittingly Pitchfork called it “a perfect outro album for the end of the world” while dubbing it ‘Best New Music’ in their review. Equipped with stadium-sized anthems like ‘Dumbest Girl Alive’ and ‘Hollywood Baby’ the 10x sized album is road-ready as the band ventures out on their 10,000 gecs world tour this spring.
