Dublin’s own Somebody’s Child returned home for a powerful show at the 3Olympia Theatre, supported by fellow Irish acts Chameleon and Delush. From the moment the lights dimmed, the room transformed into a moody dreamscape — flashes of deep reds, purples, and blues cutting through the darkness as anticipation built.
Delush opened the night with a soulful, heartfelt set, blending smooth vocals and emotional lyricism that hushed the crowd to full attention. His vulnerability set a stunning tone for the evening, drawing the audience in with every word. Chameleon followed with his signature raw, experimental sound, filling the room with pulsing rhythms and hypnotic energy. His dynamic stage presence and genre-bending beats had the crowd completely locked in, setting the stage perfectly for the headliner.
When Somebody’s Child finally took to the stage, the energy erupted. The mix of vibrant lights and shadow matched the emotional highs and lows of the set perfectly — from driving anthems to softer, introspective moments that showed the band’s depth. Each song felt like a shared experience between the band and the crowd, who sang every lyric with pure devotion.
