Two of Dublin’s most exciting new acts, Dose and Cable Boy, are joining forces for an unforgettable double headliner at The Grand Social on Friday, February 28th. This collaboration stems from the instant connection forged between the two bands at Ireland Music Week, where they became mutual admirers of each other’s music. The night promises to showcase their unique talents and highlight why both are rapidly rising stars in the Irish music scene.

About Dose
Following a breakout year in 2024, Dose has cemented their place as one of Dublin’s most talked-about new bands. Featuring Lizzie Fitzpatrick (Bitch Falcon, coolgirl, 7of9), bassist Lauren Heron (Merpire), synth player Aoife Spratt, and drummer Nicki Meehan, the band blends dream pop, post-punk, grunge, shoegaze, and synth-pop influences to create a sound that’s bold and otherworldly. Their debut single “Cuckoo” was met with critical acclaim, earning 2FM The Alternative’s Track of the Week and praise from The GOO, which described it as “a fuzzy, pitch-shifting mix of shoegaze, coldwave, and post-punk.” With their highly anticipated second single, “Parallelogram,” set for release this February and an EP later in the year, Dose are gearing up for an explosive 2025.

About Cable Boy
Dublin-based indie-pop outfit Cable Boy has quickly become one of the city’s most promising acts. Their debut EP ‘Whole’ built a devoted fanbase, drawing sonic comparisons to DIIV and Deerhunter, while their dreamy single “When I’m With You” and accompanying music video cemented their signature sound. Set to release their highly anticipated single “Smoke and the Light” this April, Cable Boy is poised to dominate 2024 with a series of upcoming releases that mark their confident evolution into pop territory. Known for their polished live performances, the band continues to prove that their best is yet to come.

This double bill at The Grand Social is a must-see event for fans of dream pop, shoegaze, indie, and post-punk. Experience the raw energy, talent, and creativity of two of Ireland’s most talked-about new acts.
