Gurriers

Sid The Cat Presents Gurriers 9/8/2026 at Permanent Records Roadhouse 21+ When Dublin’s Gurriers released 2024 debut album Come And See, they underlined their status as a visceral, unignorable new voice in the thriving Irish punk scene. Having formed during the pandemic, in the years since, the original members - vocalist Dan Hoff, guitarists Ben O'Neill and Mark MacCormack and drummer Pierce Callaghan - had carved out a steadily escalating reputation for bone-rattling, mosh-ready live shows. Come And See pushed their lyrical chops and curious, socially-exploratory outlook to the fore too, platforming songs about digital angst and IRL terror in the modern world. In the months following its release, the milestones kept coming for the band: a slot on Later with Jools Holland; main stage performances in the Woodsies and Leftfield tents at Glastonbury; an arena support back in their hometown with Turnstile and with Kneecap at Wembley. With bassist Charlie McCarthy now fully settled into the throng, bringing a fresh burst of enthusiasm having joined the band at the beginning of 2024 - sometime after their debut had been recorded and before it was released that September, they found the new music they were starting to pen was innately reflective of this vast step up in their ante. “You write songs for the environment that you’ll hear them in, so when we were playing small, 250 capacity rooms then \[we wrote\] a sweaty punk record,” Callaghan reflects of their debut. “But now, playing bigger festival stages and supporting in arenas, it changes how you approach songwriting. You’re thinking about what sort of environment these songs are gonna be heard in, and how they’ll exist in that space.” Presented by Sid The Cat. This is a 21+ event.
