Special Guest Performance: Metanoia
Inspired by the sounds of the '90s alternative scene, contemporary indie pop, post punk and funk, Metanoia are known for their catchy hooks, impressive melodies and tight rhythm section. Their debut demos, “Cherry Blossoms” and “Thrill,” are up on SoundCloud, giving listeners a glimpse of what makes Metanoia one of Galway’s standout new bands.
Support Act Performance: Swallow Sorrow
Swallow Sorrow is a Galway-based trio blending indie rock with alt-edge vibes. Formed just five months ago, they’ve already shared the stage with The Love Buzz, Mirrors, and Galway icons Adore and Telebox, making waves in the local scene. Known for their evolving sound, Swallow Sorrow has drawn comparisons to Newdad, Fontaines DC, and Mary in the Junkyard. They’re constantly experimenting, giving every show an edge that keeps fans coming back for more.
