Kippax to headline Dublin's Cellar stage this June
Workmans Cellar on 27 June 2025. The venue, nestled beneath the well-trodden streets of the capital, will host one of the city’s most expressive alternative acts in what promises to be a spirited night of live music.
Known for their sharp lyricism and gritty instrumentation, Kippax have been making waves across Ireland’s underground circuit since their early demo tapes began circulating in 2019. The four-piece came together while studying in Dublin, quickly building a following through a series of energetic gigs in independent bars and community spaces. Their distinctive sound—a fusion of post-punk influence with shoegaze textures—has drawn comparisons to acts like Fontaines D.C. and Just Mustard, though Kippax’s voice is undeniably their own.
Their debut EP, released last year, caught the attention of several tastemakers including a glowing review from Nialler9, cementing Kippax as one to watch. Tracks like “Grey Lights” and “Stoneybatter Skin” reveal a band willing to deconstruct familiar themes of youth, disaffection and city life, reassembling them into sonically layered, emotionally charged anthems.
I caught them live last summer at a packed-out show in Whelan’s. The stage was barely big enough for their gear, and yet every corner of the room snapped to life the moment they kicked off. I remember someone beside me asked if they always played that loud. They do. And it works.
The decision to book Workmans Cellar feels like a deliberate nod to their roots. The Cellar, with its intimate space and underground acoustics, offers a raw, reverberating setting perfect for a band like this. It is a far cry from the over-polished arena sound.
Fans should move quickly, as early indications suggest ticket demand will run high. We will dive deeper into what to expect from the venue and what makes this date so special in the following section.
