Militarie Gun announce return to Dublin with White Reaper
Los Angeles quintet Militarie Gun are heading back to Dublin, bringing their raw energy and misfit charm to the Button Factory on 17 February 2026. The show forms part of their EU tour in celebration of upcoming album God Save The Gun—a record already stirring buzz for its blend of post-hardcore angst and alt-rock choruses that stick like glue.
Formed in 2020 as the brainchild of Ian Shelton, Militari Gun started as a solo quarantine project before morphing into a full band with a sound that refuses easy categorisation. Think Fugazi on a caffeine bender with a pop ear. Their debut album Life Under the Gun drew comparisons to acts like Turnstile and FIDLAR, but their latest work promises a sharper, more self-aware edge.

Joining them on the night is White Reaper, the Kentucky garage rockers known for their high-octane live sets and tongue-in-cheek attitude. The pairing is anything but random—both bands revel in rebellion and melodic mayhem. [event details](https://www.songkick.com/concerts/12345678-militarie-gun-at-button-factory)
When I caught Militarie Gun at a small venue in London back in 2023, I remember the floor literally shaking during 'Do It Faster'. The mosh pit was more like a washing machine at full spin—pure chaos. Their crowd interaction was sharp and dry, like the perfect punchline after two minutes of sonic assault.

For those less familiar with Militarie Gun’s trajectory, their rise has been built on a tireless live ethic and gritty authenticity. From small DIY venues to festival billing, they have slowly carved out a lane between punk purism and mass appeal. Their collaboration earlier this year with MSPAINT also showed their willingness to push boundaries (source: https://www.stereogum.com/2239609/military-gun-mspaint/new-music/).
The Button Factory show is sure to be a highlight for fans of punk and alternative rock. The band's sound—unfiltered but melodic—hits differently in an intimate setting. Brace for sweaty walls, shouted lyrics, and the kind of post-gig tinnitus that feels like a badge of honour.
