Following a powerful showing at the at the President’s Garden Party at Áras an Uachtaráin, the Dubliner will also be playing a headline show at The Academy 2 on November 15, 2024.

“In an age where songs are consumed like popcorn, ‘ENTERTAINMENT’ is a song designed to satisfy and satiate even the most hungry of listeners,” said Shobsy of his upcoming song.

“The track toys with the idea of how the artist has become the slave of its audience, doing anything and everything in order to Entertain. But don’t read too much into it…this is ENTERTAINMENT, nothing more, nothing less.”

The 29-year-old’s first three releases ‘Vanity’, ‘Driven’ and ‘The Way We Are’ were received with critical acclaim, with Hot Press describing the singer as having  “Powerhouse vocals that rival the enchanting beauty of Freddie Mercury & George Michael.”

A performance on ‘The Late Late Show’ led to further attention and acclaim with the Clonskeagh native’s acoustic re-working of the Jimmy Somerville classic, ‘Smalltown Boy’ clocking over 100k views in 12 hours on YouTube.
