MCD Presents is proud to announce that Brandon Flowers will return to Dublin for a special headline performance at the 3Olympia Theatre on Tuesday, 27 October 2026. The show comes in support of his newly announced third solo album, Thrasher, the most personal and evocative collection of songs in his storied career.
For twenty years, Flowers has been a fixture of the global music landscape, yet Thrasher finds him pulling back the curtain on a chapter long kept secret: his formative years in small-town Utah. Moving away from the “big and shiny fantasy” of Las Vegas, the new album explores the “Country-Western” traditions that soundtracked his youth in Nephi—a world of honky-tonk ragers, highway rambles, and winsome ballads.
“I’ve been keeping the secret of my upbringing,” Flowers says. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music and discovered that the stories I carry feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition.”
Recorded in Nashville over a whirlwind three weeks, Thrasher was produced by Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado. The sessions featured an elite group of Nashville pros, ranging in age from their thirties to eighties, including local legends like David Rawlings (guitar), Bruce Bouton (pedal steel), and 85-year-old Charlie McCoy, the legendary harmonica player known for his work with Bob Dylan.
