Goldie Boutilier « Party 26 Tour »

Goldie Boutilier brings her Party 26 Tour to The Academy in Dublin on 9 November 2026. Raised in Nova Scotia and shaped by a decade of reinvention, she blends pop with soul, R&B, rock and a touch of country, all filtered through a cinematic gaze that draws on classic films and Western imagery. After early 2010s releases under other names in a pop and dance lane alongside hip‑hop and electronic producers, she slowed the tempo and let an R&B‑leaning sensibility steer her songwriting. As Goldie Boutilier, the focus turns to narrative and character, with a voice upfront and arrangements kept lean and textured.

On stage, that palette moves between slow‑burn ballads and more driving cuts. Her 2023 EP Cowboy Gangster Politician marked a clear chapter: twilight guitars, drum machines that leave room to breathe, and melodies that settle in quietly. Splitting her time between Canada, Europe and the US, she’s built a club‑sized live show that feels intimate yet expansive, playing with retro references without getting stuck in them. Party 26 is a live snapshot of that world, where small‑town stories and widescreen moods meet under the same spotlight.
