Irish pop artist Pastiche’s – trilogy of 2024 singles comes to a close with the latest single ”Abandon The Planet”

Pop artist Pastiche releases her vulnerable dance track ‘Abandon the Planet’ today. This is her darkest and most honest single to date, but coated in a shimmering pop sheen that Pastiche wears like armour. ‘Abandon the Planet’ precedes Pastiche’s shows opening for Alice Glass on 10th November at the Grand Social (tickets here) and Eurovision’s Aiko on 17th November at The Academy (tickets here).

Pastiche says of the single: “‘Abandon The Planet’ is a culmination of my 2024 experience: dealing with my endometriosis diagnosis, freezing my eggs at 26, moving back to Ireland from London, feeling like a failure and trying to rebuild my music career trajectory after what feels like continuous blows. This song is my Thelma & Louise moment, my Sandy and Danny at the end of Grease when they randomly take off into the sky. It’s the thought that we’ve all had about leaving everything behind.”

Upcoming Gigs
The Grand Social — 10.11.24
The Academy — 17.11.24
