Singular Artists proudly present Los Campesinos! for a headline show at Button Factory, Dublin for Saturday, 8th February 2025. Tickets are available from singularartists.ie on Friday, 11th October at 10am.

For the first time since 2008, the UK’s first & only emo band, Los Campesinos!, make their long-awaited return to Ireland, for a headline performance at Button Factory.

Los Camp! have become one of the scene’s most important and influential cult acts since they formed in the mid-2000s. Starting out in the Cardiff and soundtracking Budweiser adverts, the seven-piece’s musical evolution since then has been slow, steady and remarkable. From the frenzied chaos of debut album Hold On Now, Youngster… (2008) through 2010 breakthrough Romance is Boring and the self-mythologising of latter day highlights NO BLUES (2013) and Sick Scenes (2017), their discography is an interconnected web of niche references, big swings and unflinching honesty.

Making self-professed sleeper hits for weeping dipshits, they’re as influenced by The Beautiful South as they are US emo, with emotional intensity and connection always at the core. Their lyrics are a treasure trove of football references, tales of romantic woe and painfully frank exorcisms, which have been tattooed across hundreds of fans’ bodies and served as comfort and insight during that break-up you had (there’s a reason the band’s tagline is “your ex-girlfriend’s favourite band”).

With seventh album All Hell having given them their first ever UK Top 20 Album and further critical acclaim, LC! approach their third decade as a band more brilliant, more potent and more vital than ever.
