Elio Mei presents: « Tomato! Tomato! Tomato! The Tour »

Elio Mei brings Tomato! Tomato! Tomato! The Tour to The Academy, Dublin on 24 May 2026. The US singer‑songwriter, formerly known as Madilyn Mei, moves between indie-folk and indie-pop with acoustic guitars, understated arrangements and a bedroom-pop clarity that lets the lyrics breathe. He/they writes like a storyteller, weaving fantasy and role-playing cues into everyday scenes of self-discovery and identity, where quests and campfires mirror real-life turns.

Since the early EP Where No One Knows My Name, the path has led to the album To Exist With You, featuring the duet “Sleeping in the Kitchen” with Addison Grace, the horror-tinged EP Promise You Won’t Scream, and the concept-driven The Bard, before opening a new chapter with A Thousand Songs About It All: Act 1. On stage, that universe often takes shape with a light theatrical touch introduced on the Side Quest Tour, balanced by intimate vocals and agile guitar work. The set leans into narrative ballads, brighter pop turns and recent fan favorites, with the collaborative spirit sharpened by runs alongside AJR and work with Scrawny and cloudkissed.
