We are very excited to welcome rising star Dave Lofts to Sydney this October, for his first ever headline show in Australia! Paddo RSL on Saturday 17th October. Presale tickets are live now exclusively via our website. General tickets on sale Friday at 10am. Link in comments section.

With his raw, anthemic storytelling and indie-folk edge, Dave Lofts has drawn comparisons to a young Van Morrison and the soulful authenticity of Paolo Nutini. Through songs that feel deeply personal yet universally relatable, he has built a reputation for honest songwriting and captivating live performances, earning a fiercely loyal following both online and on stage.

Dave’s story is as grounded as his music. A former member of the Irish Defence Forces, he brings a unique real-world perspective to his songwriting, adding depth and authenticity to his work. That connection with audiences is reflected not only in his rapidly growing streaming success - now surpassing 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify - but also in his impressive live track record. He has sold out 25 consecutive Irish headline shows and completed a fully sold-out debut UK tour in April, including dates in London, Manchester and Glasgow.

Earlier this year, Dave performed at the 20th Anniversary Oscar Wilde Awards in Los Angeles during Oscar Week, alongside Dermot Kennedy. The event honoured actor Domhnall Gleeson, and an impromptu performance of his latest single Holy with Sarenna Farrell generated over 10 million views across social media platforms.

As a live performer, Dave has shared stages with artists including Gavin James, Wolf Alice, Picture This and Kingfishr, while standout appearances at Electric Picnic and All Together Now have further cemented his reputation as one of Ireland’s most exciting new talents.

A present for the boss now greets us in the office.
