At 3Olympia Theatre · 72 Dame Street, Dublin 2
The Academic are one of Ireland’s most exciting live bands. The Westmeath four-piece make high-energy indie rock with massive choruses that translate brilliantly to a live setting. Their gigs are some of the most fun nights out in Irish music.
Pure energy from start to finish. Songs like Bear Claws, Different, and Acting My Age are built for live performance - big guitars, bigger choruses, and a crowd that sings every word back.
Doors 7pm, show 7:30pm
