Zeal and Ardor / Dom Zły – Live 2025 tour from The Academy Dublin 21.03.2025

We couldn’t have asked for a better Friday night with Zeal & Ardor, with Dom Zły as the support band.

The evening started with Dom Zły’s set, an excellent warm-up for the crowd to get ready for what was about to come with the main act. Their polished Polish black metal created a dark, immersive atmosphere, which was nice to watch, and their music was well appreciated.

Then, Zeal & Ardor took the stage, delivering a performance that was truly unique and captivating. Each member was mesmerizing to watch, and their performance was mind blowing. The setlist felt complete, packed with the best songs they could have chosen. The crowd’s energy was unreal—they sang along, cheered, and showed their love throughout the entire gig. The band seemed both impressed and flattered by the overwhelming enthusiasm.

A truly unforgettable night and hopefully a gig everyone should make sure to see.
