Dublin alt-pop stars Soda Blonde announce headline hometown show
Dublin-based indie-pop outfit Soda Blonde have announced a much-anticipated hometown headline show at The Button Factory on Friday 25 July 2025, marking a major moment in the band’s evolving journey. The gig will celebrate the release of their new EP, 'People Pleaser', now launching on vinyl — a tactile nod to nostalgia that suits their textured, emotionally-charged sound.
Since forming in 2019 from the ashes of Little Green Cars, Soda Blonde have carved out a distinctive space in the alt-pop scene. Their lush synth drives, sharp lyrics, and unmistakable vocals have earned them critical praise and loyal support at home and abroad. Their debut album, 'Small Talk', was shortlisted for the RTÉ Choice Music Prize in 2021, solidifying their reputation for smart songwriting and stylish production.
Frontwoman Faye O’Rourke leads the charge with her singular voice and presence, while the band’s shimmering soundscapes wrap around themes of vulnerability, self-awareness and the contradictions of everyday life. 'People Pleaser' is no exception — a four-song confessional that leans into raw honesty, with a backdrop of pulsating pop and brooding basslines.
I caught the band last November at a tiny venue in Galway — the kind of gig where crowd and artist blur into one sweaty mass of lyrics and synth. The energy felt like something about to go national, and now, with this Dublin date, they are doing just that. The Button Factory, known for its intimacy and impeccable sound, is the ideal setting for a band like Soda Blonde, who thrive on emotional connection.
Their sound has evolved over the years, pulling from the melodic melancholy of Fleetwood Mac to the sleek beats of HAIM. Yet Soda Blonde have remained unmistakably themselves. With glowing features in outlets like The Line of Best Fit and DIY Magazine, they continue to build a following that appreciates both sonic sophistication and lyrical depth.
As the band prepares to take the stage in their hometown, fans can expect a night thick with atmosphere and filled with both fresh cuts and audience favourites. With only one night announced so far, anticipation is already building.
