A Burial At Sea bring their tidal wave of sound to Dublin this September
Post-rock shape-shifters A Burial At Sea will headline a special show at Academy 2 in Dublin on 11 September 2025, marking their long-awaited return to Irish stages. Known for crafting sprawling instrumental soundscapes that blend brass, distortion, and emotional heft, the band has carved out a cult following across Europe—and for good reason.
Formed in Liverpool, this quartet has often described themselves as misfits moving between genres. Their music swims somewhere between cinematic post-rock and jazz-infused chaos, inviting comparisons to acts like Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai, yet always maintaining an identity that is uniquely theirs. Tracks shift like sea currents, sometimes calm, sometimes crashing.
A Burial At Sea’s live shows are as much about intensity as intimacy. The proximity of the Dublin venue, Academy 2, will only enhance the connection between band and audience. Their previous tours brought fans to packed rooms across France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In 2022, I was lucky enough to see them at an underground venue in Manchester—it felt like surfacing from a deep dive into something personal and powerful. The crowd stood still, lost in waves of reverb and emotion.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2020, earned critical nods from several independent music sites, and with their latest material teasing more experimentation, Dublin fans can expect fresh sounds laced with the band’s signature melancholy and muscle. According to Sputnikmusic, the album “manages to feel simultaneously gentle and overwhelming.”
Known for their layered use of brass instruments and pedal-driven textures, A Burial At Sea offer a sound rarely heard on post-rock circuits. Whether you are a longtime follower or just discovering their catalogue, this show will be an ideal gateway into their uncompromising world.
Expect low lights, loud moments, and – if history repeats itself – some fans openly crying behind merch tables. But hey, what is post-rock if not a good excuse to feel things loudly and slowly?
Next, we turn to the demand for tickets and what you need to know about the Academy 2‘s layout to make sure you grab the best spot in the room.
