Sam Austins brings 'The Woods' tour to Dublin this May
Alternative artist Sam Austins is gearing up to land in Dublin next month, bringing his 'The Woods' tour to the stage at The Sound House on 30 May 2025. The Detroit-born creative is known for blurring genre lines, fusing elements of indie rock, hip hop, and alt-pop into his vividly honest and energetic performances. This upcoming show marks a rare chance for Irish fans to catch the rising artist in an intimate setting.
With his debut album HOMELESS STAR, Sam Austins carved out a unique space in the alt scene. The album delves into youth identity, systems of belonging, and the chaos of 21st-century life — all backed by a soundtrack full of distortion, soul and swagger. Tracks like 'KILLED ME' and ‘JOY FOR YOUTH’ stitch together personal angst and raw emotion with electric production.
What sets Sam apart from many of his peers is his versatility. Beginning his musical journey in the DIY spaces of Detroit, he’s built his reputation through show-stealing live sets and stylish visuals. His collaborations — including work with heavyweights like Keiyaa, Jean Dawson, and even co-signs from Tyler, The Creator — continue to raise eyebrows and expectations.
When I last caught Austins live at a pop-up show in Berlin back in 2022, it felt less like a concert and more like a house party with 300 people and one very loud stereo. The man knows how to make a crowd lose composure. From screaming the lyrics to sudden stage dives, it was the sort of chaotic fun that leaves you hoarse for days.
Beyond the music, Austins is quickly becoming a voice of alternative youth culture. His background—raised between gospel choirs, punk records and an evolving city—seeps into every aspect of his work. For more on his story and influences, this Fader profile gives great insight into where he’s coming from.
Fans in Dublin can expect a setlist packed with favourites, along with new material teased from his upcoming releases. Given the reputation Austins has built over the last few years, chances are this will not be your typical Friday night gig. It is more like a live journal entry performed at full volume.
And with The Sound House providing its intimate, high-energy setting, the atmosphere is shaping up to match the intensity. But before we dive into the details of the venue and why tickets are flying off the servers…
