glaive – has announced a headline show for The Academy, Dublin

From his beginnings in Hendersonville, North Carolina (population 15k), to opening for The Kid LAROI on The First Time tour last year, glaive has become a name synonymous with a scene that redefines pop, not by distancing itself from tradition but by forging a new, innovative style. His previous works, including cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven, and then i’ll be happy, have all cemented him as a standout artist, lauded by the likes of The New York Times, Vulture, GQand The FADER. The alternative pop musician glaive has now announced a headline Academy, Dublin show for Wednesday, 4^th February 2026.

His 2nd studio album released in late 2024, May It Never Falter, was hailed as a genre-defying body of work that marked the beginning of an independent chapter in his artistry. Working closely with a tight-knit team of collaborators including John Cunningham (XXXTENTACION, Kanye West), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, The Neighbourhood), and Jeff Hazin (Kali Uchis, renforshort) the album served as a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of adolescence and self-discovery. 

May It Never Falter was recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales, continuing the Sigur Rós-inspired approach to isolated, immersive recording environments that began with his debut album i care so much i don’t care at all (2023). The album was listed as one of the best of 2024 by Vogue Magazine and was supported by a North American and European tour in spring of 2025.
