Perfume Genius – are to play The National Stadium, Dublin

Following the release of Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) brand new album, Glory, they announce a headline show at Dublin’s National Stadium, 13th November 2025. 

The album is on longtime label home Matador Records. Glory was produced by Blake Mills and marks the 7th studio album in his immaculate body of work. The first single, ‘It’s a Mirror’ and its companion music video dwere directed by Cody Critchloe. 

On his new album Glory, Perfume Genius re-teams with long-time producer Blake Mills and keyboardist and co-writer Alan Wyffels along with an incredible group of musicians who have played previously with Hadreas on the road and in the studio including guitarists Meg Duffy (Hand Habits) and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, and bassist Pat Kelly as well as a special appearance from New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding. After approaching writing as an insular practice for much of his career, in the process of making Glory Hadreas welcomed more collaboration from the musicians working on the project. The result is a more wiry and driving musical underbed to Hadreas’ stories. The album contains themes that he’s wrestled with artistically throughout his career – themes of the body and its decay, of domesticity and love, and of inescapable history and damage. There is also a return of some of his characters including Jason. But Glory is written from a new vantage point – on the other side of struggle, where one is left to contend with all that has happened but also has to learn to live in a still and uncharted place. An album bio, on Glory, by Daniel Felsenthal, can be found after the tracklist below
