Joey Valence & Brae « Hyperyouth »

Joey Valence & Brae bring the Hyperyouth tour to Dublin on 7 May 2026 at 3Olympia Theatre. The Philadelphia duo made a name with 90s-leaning beats, quick-fire back-and-forth and a DIY approach that runs from production to visuals. Going from early self-released tracks to the breakout single Punk Tactics in 2021, they’ve built a catalogue that plays with old-school hip-hop codes, alternative rap energy and pop-culture nods without overthinking the formula.

On stage, the setup is direct and physical: breakbeats, chunky basslines and sharp hooks, with the two MCs trading lines and folding in call-and-response moments. The set navigates The Underground Sound (2022) and the Punk Tactics album (2023), and folds in recent drops tied to Hyperyouth. Cuts are short and tight, transitions are brisk, and the mood stays playful, leaning on sample flips, scratch accents and drum-machine hits.

Hyperyouth pushes their formula forward rather than sideways: compact tracks stacked in sequence, crowd-ready refrains and a pace that keeps the room moving. At 3Olympia Theatre, the duo’s chemistry does the heavy lifting, channeling their studio punch into a live format that focuses on rhythm, interaction and momentum.
