Theatre
The Spiel
Strange Days Live presents THEATRE's debut Sheffield headline show at Sidney & Matilda this October. There’s very little, if anything, known about the Limerick band, THEATRE, who seem to be moving in the shadows of Ireland’s explosive music scene. The five piece, made up of Dara, Oscar, Gerry and Sean, have whipped up a storm of excitement through their outstanding live shows; gorgeous, emotive melodies and the stunning vocals of lead singer, Maeve. Blending ethereal rock music with folk and shoegaze, the music is understated yet feels timeless, and their songs seem to enter your body, trance-like, and never leave. Despite the spotlight shining so heavily on Irish music at the moment, they have spent a year writing and building their live set and have quietly become the ones to look out for on any line up. Now breaking their silence and set to release their first single ’The Fall’ the tension is certainly rising and there is a sense that finally, all will be revealed. Tickets on sale at Friday 8th May
