Leah Kate / Ana Sky / Mimi Foxx – The Genius Tour live gallery and review from The Academy 2 Dublin 19.05.2026

American singer-songwriter Leah Kate brought the last night of her The Genius Tour to a close with an energetic and heartfelt final show, proving that crowd size does not always reflect the quality of a performance. Despite a noticeably low turnout, every artist on the bill gave everything they had on stage, creating an intimate atmosphere that made the night feel special for those who attended.

Opening the evening was Mimi Foxx, who delivered a confident 30 minute set that warmed up the crowd nicely. Her stage presence and connection with the audience immediately set the tone for the night. Next up was Ana Sky, whose own 30 minute performance brought strong vocals and plenty of energy, keeping the momentum going before the main act took to the stage.

When Leah Kate finally appeared, the atmosphere instantly lifted. Playing for an hour and a half, she performed with passion and determination from beginning to end. Her vocals were sharp, her energy never dipped, and she made a genuine effort to interact with the audience throughout the set. It was clear that closing night of the tour meant a lot to her.

The smaller crowd may have been influenced by major competing shows in Dublin that same night, including Doja Cat at the 3Arena and Carly Pearce at the 3Olympia Theatre. Even so, the performers left everything on stage, making it a memorable final stop on the tour.
