Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets at Seven Grand

Mar 14, 2025

1:15am – 1:55am CT

Seven Grand

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Thursday, March 13 at Seven Grand

Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets make songs that come from the heart. The Limerick group are aiming for pure communication – surging Indie-Rock that comes with a pop openness, their widescreen yet down-to-earth musicality has a viral appeal, yet remains DIY in origin.

2024 saw the band self-produce and release a new album, and take on their biggest shows yet – selling-out rooms across the UK & Ireland. 1,000,000 streams later, support slots with the likes of NewDad and Kingfishr, and continuous radio support in the UK & Ireland, has shown that these lads are one’s to watch for 2025.

At times they recall the buster of The War On Drugs, or the vitality carried by Gang Of Youths; there’s a nod to Radiohead’s raw emotion, or Springsteen’s surging passion – with their songs speaking to twenty-somethings living in a country that completely ignores them.

Part of a wave of energy within Irish music, the band have been nurtured within a close-knit creative community - yet are unafraid to speak with a singular voice.
