Few bands have reimagined Irish traditional music as boldly as Kíla. Formed by schoolmates at Coláiste Eoin in Dublin, the eight-piece fused trad with world rhythms, chant and raw percussive energy to create something entirely their own — heard on landmark albums like Tóg É Go Bog É. Their music reached global audiences through acclaimed film scores for Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers, composed with Bruno Coulais. Four decades on, their live shows remain legendary: part concert, part ritual, entirely Kíla.
Celebrating 40 years, Kíla will be joined by The Paul Frost Brass Band and more special guests.
Aya Samra will also be supporting Kíla for their 40th Anniversary. Aya is a rising Berlin-based artist making waves with her fearless sound and magnetic presence. Trilingual in Arabic, English, and German, she brings a unique cultural perspective to her music, blending vulnerability with power. Aya burst onto the global stage with a viral remix + continuous viral videos that racked up over 450 million views across all platforms, instantly making her one of the most talked-about new voices in music. Her ability to connect deeply with audiences has fuelled a fast-growing fanbase and industry buzz alike. Bridging cultures and delivering raw emotion with universal appeal, Aya continues to captivate listeners worldwide. With momentum building and a bold vision ahead, she is quickly emerging as a defining force in the next wave of international music.
