Launching the first night of her I Feel Everything European Tour, Maggie Lindemann delivered an assured and compelling headline performance at The Academy Dublin on 14 April 2026, setting a high standard for the tour ahead with a commanding 25-song set.

Opening the evening were The Runaway Club, whose nine-song performance provided an energetic and polished introduction to the night. Their blend of infectious melodies and confident stagecraft quickly won over the early arrivals, establishing a vibrant atmosphere inside the venue from the outset.
Second support act Afterdrive raised the intensity further with a sharp and impactful seven song set. The band injected momentum into the evening and ensured the audience remained fully engaged ahead of the headline performance.

By the time Lindemann emerged, The main standing arean of The Academy was close to capacity, and the near sell-out crowd greeted her arrival with deafening enthusiasm. Any pressure associated with opening a major tour was absent from her performance, Lindemann appeared entirely in control, delivering each song with conviction and confidence.
Across a substantial 25-song setlist, she moved seamlessly between brooding, emotionally driven material and high energy alt pop anthems, demonstrating the breadth of her evolving artistry. Her vocals remained consistently strong throughout, while her stage presence proved magnetic, effortlessly commanding the room from the opening number through to the final end.

A notable strength of the performance was Lindemann’s rapport with the audience. Between songs, she engaged warmly with the crowd, expressing genuine appreciation for the support and acknowledging the significance of Dublin hosting the tour’s opening night. The audience responded in kind, singing back every lyric with unwavering enthusiasm.
Though not officially sold out, The Academy felt packed to near capacity, and the intimate nature of the venue only heightened the atmosphere. The closeness between artist and audience created a palpable sense of connection that elevated the performance beyond a standard tour opener.
