ARREN
‘BROKEN’ RELEASE PARTY – FULL BAND SHOW
plus support
KEITH PLUNKETT
Whelan’s Upstairs • Sat 21st June 2025
Following the success of his sold-out Little Whelan’s show in February, Dublin-based artist ARREN has announced his highly anticipated return to Whelan’s Upstairs for a full-band show on June 21st to celebrate the upcoming release of his cinematic new single ‘Broken’ on April 22nd. Blending the sweeping, anthemic energy of ‘90s and 2000s pop-rock with the lyrical intimacy of singer-songwriter, ARREN has carved out a distinctive space in the Irish music scene – known for combining vintage, anthemic sounds with contemporary execution. ARREN is quickly becoming one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging artists.
ARREN’s previous singles ‘It Takes One to Know’ and ‘Dreams We Missed’ garnered widespread acclaim, with features across top Irish radio stations and playlists, including Clare FM and First Music Contact’s Made in Ireland, as well as a Top 3 spot on Puremzine’s Fresh Top 20 Music Videos. His live shows have become must-see events, praised for their energetic performances and audience participation. With ‘Broken’ set to usher in a more cinematic side to his sound, the June 21st performance promises a dynamic and heartfelt journey through both new material and fan favourites.
Joining ARREN on the night for support is Keith Plunkett, an indie/folk songwriter hailing from the West of Ireland. Known for his atmospheric, melancholic sound, Keith’s performances feature open-tuned fingerstyle acoustic guitar accompanied by cello (Maeve Kelly) and electric guitar (Shane Smith), creating a rich, emotive landscape that sets the perfect tone for the evening. Don’t miss it!
