The jungle revivalist plays Dublin on Tuesday December 8th, off the back of new album Emotional Junglist and a Forbidden Fruit set in May.
Nia Archives has announced a headline show at Vicar Street on Tuesday December 8th, following the release of new album Emotional Junglist and a well-received set at Forbidden Fruit back in May.
The Bradford-born, London-based artist has become one of the most important figures in UK jungle and drum and bass over the past few years – not just for the quality of the music but for the mission behind it, which is to bring the genre back to the culture it came from and push it somewhere genuinely new. Her 2024 debut album Silence Is Loud was one of the year’s best of its ilk – emotionally raw, sonically ferocious, and built around a voice that has no business being as powerful as it is.
Nia Archives’ new era arrived in July with new album Emotional Junglist, a title that serves as a signifier for the artist’s music, sentimental personal pop music informed by heartbreak with jungle rhythmic undertones.
Tickets go on sale Thursday August 27th at 10am via Ticketmaster. Artist presale runs Tuesday August 25th at 10am, with promoter presale Wednesday August 26th at 10am, both via signup.pod.ie/p/niaarchives.
