Peaches brought her No Lube So Rude tour to The Academy Dublin, delivering a performance that was as visually provocative as it was sonically electrifying. From the moment she took the stage, the atmosphere felt charged, an almost tangible current of anticipation surged through the packed room.
Peaches has long been known for blurring the boundaries between music, performance art, and confrontation, and this show was no exception. Backed by pulsating electro beats, outfits and dancers , she commanded attention with unapologetic confidence. The setlist spanned 20 tracks, weaving together fan favourites and deeper cuts with seamless intensity. Highlights included ‘Whatcha Gonna Do About It’, ‘Light in Places’, the anthemic ‘Boys Wanna Be Her’, and the ever iconic ‘Fuck the Pain Away’, each met with an explosive response from the crowd.
What stood out most was the synergy between performer and audience, every beat, lyric, and gesture seemed to amplify the room’s collective energy. The visuals were bold and unapologetic, perfectly complementing the raw, driving sound that defines her work.
Closing the night with a surprising cover of ‘People’, Peaches shifted the mood without losing momentum, ending the show on a note that felt both reflective and triumphant. It was a performance that didn’t just entertain, it challenged, provoked, and left a lasting impression.
