Clairo made a stunning return to Dublin with two sold-out nights at the 3Olympia. After previously packing both The Academy in 2019 and The Olympia in 2022, the 2025 Grammy-nominated singer delivered an unforgettable experience on the Charm Tour, combining class and elegance with a nostalgic twist. The stage design was a time capsule, radiating vintage charm and setting the perfect tone for the evening.
Clairo entered stage with her bandmates and they all sat around to share a drink. The casual yet intimate atmosphere was enhanced by Wendy Rene’s soul track “After Laughter (Comes Tears)” playing softly in the background, drawing the audience into the mood.
Clairo’s all-black attire and backlit silhouette created a striking visual, her movements emphasized by the shadow play. She opened with “Nomad,” gently easing the crowd into the set. The show built steadily, with “Add Up My Love” injecting a dance moment midway through. The performance closed with her biggest hits including “Bags,” recent release “Juna,” and fan favourite “Sofia,” leaving the audience in awe.
Every detail in the show felt deliberate and showcased Clairo’s artistry not just as a musician, but as a curator of moments. Her connection with the Dublin crowd is as strong as ever and her ability to blend warmth with sophistication made for a truly unique night of live music. We can only hope to see her back on this side of the Atlantic soon again.
