Chasing Abbey

Chasing Abbey bring their hybrid sound to Patterns in Brighton on 8 November 2026. The award‑winning trio from Tullamore, Ireland — songwriters, producers and multi‑instrumentalists — craft a fusion of electronic production with Celtic inflections, where melodic hooks meet rap cadences and club‑ready rhythms. Built in school and honed on stage, their approach balances contemporary pop and hip‑hop with motifs drawn from Irish tradition, giving their live set a distinctive pulse and a strong sense of place.

On stage, the group move easily from sleek synth lines to percussive drops, folding in fragments of familiar airs without nostalgia. Early cuts like That Good Thing set the tone, followed by the EP The Odyssey Project, while the 2020s saw them deepen the dialogue between folk melody and modern bass on tracks such as Oh My Johnny (Banks of the Roses). Their recent releases Arís is Arís and Íorónta push that blend further and headline the current tour, with choruses built for collective singalongs and production designed to hit in a room. Expect a tight, high‑energy performance that leans on sharp songwriting, fluid vocals and a club sensibility — the core of what has taken Chasing Abbey from local radio to packed rooms well beyond Ireland.
