Great Irish promise makes waves with equally passionate and infectious indie pop
Somebody’s Child has been delivering equally infectious and passionate indie pop since 2018. The Dublin-born and raised singer-songwriter made an immediate impact with a series of singles that quickly garnered attention, leading to him being recognized as one of Ireland’s greatest musical promises. Early in his career, he also managed to make a name for himself with support shows for Primal Scream, Kodaline, and Kaiser Chiefs, as well as an appearance on The Late Late Show, which helped him build a large fanbase. In 2023, he released his debut album, which he wrote with producer Mikko Gordon (known for his work with Thom Yorke and Arcade Fire). Earlier this year, he sold out Paradiso Tolhuistuin, performed at Best Kept Secret last year, and is now gearing up for a show with us at EKKO.
Support: Hongza
Londoner and Vietnamese-Chinese singer-songwriter Hongza creates a mix of pop and dreamy, distorted soundscapes drenched in reverb. Hongza invites you on his journey as a young man of East and Southeast Asian heritage in London. With a rapidly growing community of 47,000 social media followers, Hongza also supports British Asian musicians by creating a platform for artists like himself and fostering a sense of recognition and belonging. Following the release of his latest EP, Coming Of Age, he is going on tour to celebrate and will be stopping by to perform here at EKKO.
