Nicotine Dolls

Nicotine Dolls land in Dublin on 3 October 2026 at The Workman's Club. Formed in New York, the band moves between alternative rock, pop and a touch of soul, with singer Sam Cieri’s voice at the center. Their writing leans on clear melodies and exposed vocals, while the arrangements stay tight and group-driven rather than studio-heavy. Early on, they grew through stripped-down videos, street takes and raw drafts, a path that shaped a live approach built on immediacy.

On stage, the songs pivot between tender ballad tension, pop-rock pulse and R&B-tinged phrasing. The dynamics are key: verses held close, choruses that open up, and an instrumentation that leaves space for the voice to carry the narrative. Over releases and tours, Nicotine Dolls have kept that direct feel, testing material live and refining it in real time. Expect a set that threads newer tracks with fan favorites, played with the close-up energy of a club band. Contemporary American indie, band-first and soul-minded, brought to a room made for contact.
