Sarah Kinsley / Yndling – Fleeting tour live gallery and revie from Button Factory Dublin 20.05.2026

The gig burst into life on an energetic note, with Sarah gliding across the stage to the delight of the packed crowd gathered at the barrier. Fans had begun assembling at the front from the moment the doors opened for the Fleeting tours stop in Dublin , clearly eager for the night ahead, and they warmly embraced the opening act beforehand, Norwegian dream pop project Yndling, whose shimmering, atmospheric set perfectly set the tone for what was to come.

Some of the arrangements carried echoes of The War on Drugs, rich with melody and layered instrumentation, yet spacious enough for every detail to breathe naturally. Elsewhere, gorgeous synth-driven intros washed over the venue, triggered or played by Tim on lead guitar, adding an expansive cinematic feel to the performance.

When Sarah later revealed to the audience that Tim was Irish and that it was his first time performing back home, the crowd responded instantly with a heartfelt chorus of “OLE OLE OLE OLE,” delivered in classic Dublin fashion and met with huge smiles on stage. It was one of the night’s most genuinely warm moments, underlining the connection between band and audience.

Far from home and, as Sarah herself described it, “playing vulnerable ballads,” the band held the audience completely spellbound during the quieter mid-set moments. The venue fell into near total silence as every word of the piano led songs landed with emotional weight. Sarah’s voice, haunting, confident, and beautifully controlled, filled every corner of the room, captivating the crowd with a performance that felt both intimate and immense at the same time.
