Galway International Arts Festival & Róisín Dubh presents Soda Blonde on July 23rd, doors at 8pm.

Since their formation in 2019, Soda Blonde—comprised of Faye O’Rourke (vocals), Adam O’Regan (guitar), Dylan Lynch (drums), and Donagh Seaver-O’Leary (bass)—has carved out a distinct space in the music world with their self-produced sound, introspective lyrics, and arresting visuals. Their sophomore album Dream Big has not only solidified their reputation but also propelled them into new creative territories. The album, a bold statement of intent, has resonated deeply with fans and critics alike, earning nominations for Album of the Year and Song of the Year (“Bad Machine”) at the Choice Music Prize.

In 2024, Soda Blonde performed a monumental sold-out show at Dublin’s National Concert Hall. Teaming up with the Irish National Symphony Orchestra, the band presented orchestral arrangements of Dream Big, blending the cinematic grandeur of a full orchestra with their signature sound. The evening was recorded and will soon be released as both a concert film and a live album, allowing fans to relive this unforgettable experience. Expect an evening that capture the essence of Soda Blonde: raw, honest, and unapologetically ambitious.
