DJ Shadow is coming back to Ireland this time with three shows around the country.
After releasing his eighth studio album Action Adventure last year, and making his first appearance in Ireland in 12 years at the Academy in March, the producer is back for three more Irish dates on the Action Adventure world tour.
The Irish dates are:
Thursday July 4th – Limelight 1, Belfast
Friday July 5th – Cyprus Avenue, Cork
Sunday July 7th – The Academy, Dublin
Tickets via TM, with presale tomorrow April 17th and General Sale Friday April 19th.
The live show is a journey across Shadow’s discography in short sharp bursts of music, as seen on the recent KEXP session:
Action Adventure features 14 mostly instrumental tracks that represent a continued evolution for DJ Shadow, and features singles “Ozone Scraper” and “You Played Me”.
DJ Shadow has been releasing music for over three decades. His landmark debut Endtroducing…..was released in 1996, is considered one of the finest albums of that decade, and continues to influence new generations of artists. In the past few years he’s reached some tremendous new heights. 2016’s The Mountain Will Fall featured “Nobody Speak” with Run The Jewels. That single has long since gone gold, has nearly 100 million streams on Spotify, and continues to seep into the public consciousness as a soundtrack to countless spots in film and on TV. He returned in 2019 with Our Pathetic Age – a double LP featuring De La Soul (performing “Rocket Fuel” together on Jimmy Kimmel Live), Nas, Run the Jewels, Pusha T, Inspectah Deck and Ghostface among others. The first disc featured all instrumental, original compositions, a foreshadowing of how Action Adventure would take shape.
