Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter Isabel van Gelder brings her intimate indie pop to Dublin’s Academy 2 on Tuesday 1 September 2026, with tickets on sale Friday 20 February and doors opening at 7.00 pm. Known for blending emotionally layered ballads with lighter, melodic pop moments, van Gelder pairs dreamy production with reflective, close-to-the-heart lyricism that invites listeners in rather than keeping them at a distance.
Since the release of “Die For You” and “My Silly Boy,” her profile has surged, fueled by millions of views across Instagram and TikTok and the streaming success of her debut EP ‘Minor Details.’ Often described as a hidden gem, she is quickly outgrowing that label as online momentum translates into packed rooms and growing international interest. Early covers of artists like Tom Odell helped build anticipation, but originals like “Pieces” confirmed her ability to marry softness with resilience.
Live, van Gelder leans into that clarity and vulnerability, something sharpened through nationwide Popronde performances and support slots for Blanks. The Dublin date marks another step forward, bringing her expanding catalogue to an Irish audience ready to experience her understated, emotionally direct style up close.
