Hannah Bahng brought her Misunderstood World Tour to The Academy Greenroom, Dublin on 10 April 2024, delivering an unforgettable performance that proved exactly why her fanbase continues to grow so rapidly. From the moment she stepped on stage, the packed venue erupted with screams from devoted “Blues,” creating an electric atmosphere that never faded throughout the night.
Performing a 16 song set, Bahng showcased both her emotional depth as a songwriter and her confidence as a live performer. Tracks such as “tonight’s the night i die to a frank ocean song,” “Oleander,” “Orchid / Flame,” and “Pomegranate” were met with deafening singalongs, as fans passionately screamed every lyric back to her. Each song carried its own distinct mood, but together they formed a setlist that perfectly captured the emotional vulnerability and raw honesty that define Bahng’s music.
One of the night’s standout moments came when Bahng performed an impressive cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Her version brought a fresh energy to the iconic track while still honouring the grit and attitude of the original, earning one of the loudest reactions of the evening.
Of course, the emotional peak of the concert came with “Misunderstood,” the title track of the tour, which transformed the venue into a sea of voices as the audience sang along in unison. It was a powerful moment that highlighted the deep connection Bahng has built with her fans.
Despite the intimate size of The Academy Greenroom, Bahng commanded the stage effortlessly, filling every corner of the room with her presence. The packed out crowd, nonstop energy, and emotional performances combined to make the Dublin stop of the Misunderstood World Tour a resounding success.
For many of the Blues, it may have been their first concert and it was an experience they won’t soon forget.
