Lany – have just announced their headline show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre

LA-based duo LANY have just announced their highly anticipated headline show in the 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Thursday 4th June 2026 as part of the soft world tour.

Paul Klein (lead-singer & songwriter) had just finished a workout at his local gym last summer when his and LANY’s world was (for a brief moment, quite literally) flipped upside down. Only a couple miles from where he lives in Hollywood, he hopped on his vespa scooter to head home and a minute later was crossing an intersection when a car appeared from nowhere. He squeezed the brakes, braced for impact and at the last second “let go”. He woke up in an ambulance. “The first thought I had when I woke up was that God loves me. That I’m still here for a reason and I have a purpose.” He doesn’t know how much time passed on the pavement. He doesn’t know who called the ambulance. He doesn’t know how long it took them to arrive. He does know how fortunate he is to be alive. “I’m so grateful to be alive, but I hope there are some parts of me that died on the road that day,” he says. “I was holding onto some things that I didn’t need to be. Resentment. Unforgiveness. I was becoming pretty bitter and callous — hard of heart.” It’s poetic then that the band’s new album, titled “Soft”, addresses his attempts to fight against that internal hardness — to stay soft of the inside, while simultaneously fighting to rehabilitate an even stronger, harder exterior to protect that same vulnerability and softness within.

The LA-based duo (comprised of Klein and his bandmate/ best friend Jake Goss) were less than two weeks away from the Australian leg of their “a beautiful blur” world tour when the accident happened. Having already finished the European, North American and Latin American legs, the band were spending the first weeks of summer at home, recharging before getting back on the road. Nobody could’ve imagined how quickly everything would change. What is perhaps more conceivable is how catalyzing a moments like this would be for Klein, both personally and creatively. Thematically and visually “Soft” exists in tension — an intentional contrast of the hard and soft. Tangible, literal, physical hardness juxtaposed with metaphorical, relational (and, at times too, physical) softness. The cover itself depicts the perfect visual of that

dichotomy: a lamb, representative of one’s own softness, in the wounded and bandaged arms of the one that has fought for and protected it. “It’s so easy to let the challenges of the world harden you,” Klein says. “The hardest thing to do is to fight against it — to stay soft. To protect your softness and the things that you love.”
