Mystery Jets

Mystery Jets play The Academy, Dublin on 29 November 2026, carrying the indie songwriting that took them from Eel Pie Island to stages far beyond. Formed in West London in the early 2000s around Blaine Harrison and the guiding hand of his father Henry, the band has shaped a sound that balances psych-tinged guitars, vintage keys and clear-cut pop melodies. Their catalogue trace runs from Making Dens and the concise hooks of Twenty One (with Young Love), through the polished pop-rock of Serotonin and the Americana hues of Radlands, to the dreamier textures of Curve of the Earth and the socially minded A Billion Heartbeats. On stage, they braid harmonies and guitar lines with a steady sense of craft, revisiting early singles alongside later material. Through line-up shifts, including the 2020 departure of guitarist William Rees, Mystery Jets have kept a defined identity: songs that center melody, arrangements with room to breathe, and lyrics that look outward as much as inward.
