It'll be a show they won't forget as local rock band Greywind - who have been making a name for themselves across the water - will headline a local show for the very first time.

Tomorrow night (Saturday), guitarist/songwriter Paul O'Sullivan and his sister, singer Steph, are super excited to finally get on the stage in the INEC as the main act and perform songs which they originally wrote at home in Ballydribbeen.

"We're so excited to finally be headlining in our hometown for the first time," Paul said.

"We wrote all these songs at our home in Killarney and we've been lucky enough to have been able to play them at some of the biggest festivals in the world so it's going to be such a special night to finally play them where we started."

Greywind played at some of the biggest festivals in the world, including Reading and Leeds Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Download Festival, Rock Am Ring and have supported the likes of The Coronas in a sold out INEC Arena so it's going to be a special night to finally have them headlining in their hometown for the first time.

The band's debut album ‘Afterthoughts’ was recorded in Texas with Grammy-Winning producer Jason Perry and charted in the Official UK Rock Chart. Greywind have been heavily praised by the likes of BBC Radio 1, Zane Lowe and MTV and in 2021 released their acclaimed newest single ‘Am I Asleep?’ with the track being described as “a stadium-ready alt-rock anthem” by Record Of The Day.

Singer-songwriter Donal Lucey will support the siblings at the show. Tickets are €20 and are available now from ticketmaster.ie.
