Joyce Manor

Joyce Manor bring their taut, melody-first punk to The Academy, Dublin on 10 October 2026. Formed in Torrance, California, the quartet built its name on sharp, sub-two-minute songs, candid lyrics and a two-guitar drive that flips between rush and restraint. On stage, Barry Johnson’s straight-ahead vocals sit on tight rhythms and left-turn hooks; the mood shifts from sprint to slow-burn without losing the thread.

Expect a set that moves fast and pulls from across their catalogue: the breathless singalongs of Never Hungover Again, the lean storytelling of Cody, the bruised pop of Million Dollars to Kill Me, and the most recent turns from 40 oz. to Fresno. Early cuts revived on Songs From Northern Torrance often resurface, trimmed to the essentials. What ties it all together is the band’s sense of economy: verses land clean, choruses hit once and stick, silences snap the songs into focus. It’s punk rock with a pop core and an emo tint, built for rooms where voices carry and every pause counts. Dublin gets the tight, no-filler version.
