Lyra
Fresh off the back of the success of her No.1 self-titled debut album, Cork singer-songwriter LYRA has announced details of her Winter 2024 tour, which finishes at the Gleneagle INEC Arena on December 15th.
LYRA is one of the most striking talents to have emerged from Ireland in the past few years. Hailing from County Cork, she's established herself on both the domestic and international stage with a string of exciting, vibrant singles accompanied by a unique style of visual presentation that is never less than stunning.
The last year has been particularly thrilling for LYRA, with the spectacular success of her one-two punch of hit singles: the ultra-catchy ‘Lose My Mind’ and the uplifting, dancefloor collab with John Gibbons on Stevie Nicks’ classic ‘Edge Of Seventeen’. In addition to these big tunes, she's released successful collaborations with dance artist UNSECRET and Bill Whelan on ‘Riverdance: The Animated Adventure.’ She also soundtracked An Post’s Irish festive campaign with her track ‘The Magic Of Christmas’.
LYRA started 2023 with 'YOU', just ahead of her debut UK headline tour. 'YOU' follows the triple threat hit parade of 'Lose My Mind', 'Edge Of Seventeen' and '29 Box', which have racked up over 12k radio spins in the last year. 'Edge Of Seventeen' has powered to over 4M streams and counting.
Building on a rock solid foundation of inimitable songcraft, studio know-how and an extraordinary vocal presence, LYRA continues to develop her writing and performance skills to new levels of confidence and unfettered self-expression.
Lyra released her self-titled debut album in April of this year, which flew straight to No.1, outselling Beyoncé by 50% on Ireland’s Albums Chart. Since then, she has supported Cian Ducrot in St. Anne’s Park, Dublin and headlined Cork’s Live At The Marquee.
