Aonair / Midnight Wayne – The Grand Social Dublin 18.12.2024

‘Lyrical synth pop with an 80s edge. Bold sweeping melodies, huge guitar solos, and immersive, maximalist production’. Is how Brendan (Aonair) describes his music, and I felt it all as soon as he landed on stage! 

Think VHS vibes, love hearts, sparkles and cassette tapes. Skipping down the promenade of Coney Island, drawing you in with an infectious synth. 

A beautiful night full of strangers and friends, Aonair seems to have a following that will go just about anywhere with him. 

‘Midnight Wayne opening up the night with a stripped down set accompanied by a beautiful backing with Bronagh Keogh and Amy Kelly.  Steven Kearney on percussion, and Wayne’s own brother, Damien Soper on lead guitar’. 

Dedicated to the craft, nothing will stop his positive vibes and beautifully trippy aesthetic.
