Songer – has just announced a headline show for The Academy, Dublin

Rising UK rapper Songer has just announced a headline Academy, Dublin show for Tuesday, 24th November 2026.


Housing over 100+ million streams in the past year alone, the Reading-born artist has continued to build a fanbase through authenticity, adaptability, and razor-sharp lyricism. Arguably one of his best-known songs to date, “Toxic” became the UK’s second best-selling rap record of the year, spending eight weeks in the Official Top 40. Closely behind sits huge collaboration hit with Birmingham producer K-Motionz, “Vino Bandit”, which has now surpassed 98 million streams globally, both of which are on track to become Gold certified this year.

At just 25-years-old, Songer has earned 1x Gold certification in Australia, 3x Silver and 1x Gold records in the UK, and two BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record in the World premieres with Jack Saunders. Having kickstarted last year with a huge collaboration with household name Aitch, to add to Songer’s more than impressive roster of collaborations, spanning from legend in the game D Double E, to fast-rising newcomer KiLLOWEN, Issey Cross, Arka, Chase and Status, Becky Hill and so many other incredible names. 

Having taken to some of the biggest stages in the southern hemisphere, Songer joined Dizzee Rascal on his sold-out Australia and New Zealand tour last year, alongside playing Europe’s biggest festivals, including a mainstage spot at Leeds Festival with over 40,000 fans in attendance, not to mention a major debut at Splash! In Germany and Truck Festival in the UK, as well as selling out a UK tour from start to finish with a headline show in London’s Kentish Town Forum, cementing his status as one of the country’s most vital new live acts.
