On Tuesday night, Brighton band Lovejoy took to the stage of Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre for night one of their Inselaffe Tour.
The night kicked off at 7:30 with support from Irish four-piece band Post-Party, who played a six-song set.

Next up was Croydon-based band Bears In Trees, who could have easily been mistaken for a headline act in their own right. The band took to the stage at 8:15 for an eight-song set

Then, at 9:15, on walked Lovejoy, with all band members walking on first before frontman Wilbur Soot shortly following suit. They performed a 12-song setlist, going from older songs from their 2021 EP (if you could call that old, seeing as the band only formed that year), to newer songs, such as Call Me What You Like, only released last month.
The band, made up of Wilbur Soot, Ash Kabosu, Mark Boardman, and Joe Goldsmith, had fans queuing up since 6am to get barrier, and had the loudest crowd I’ve ever heard at a gig.
