ARREN

An emerging Irish pop-rock artist based in Dublin, ARREN is quickly making waves with a sound that blends the anthemic punch of ’90s/’00s rock with intimate singer-songwriter storytelling. Drawing favorable comparisons to Mumford & Sons, Hudson Taylor, Oasis, and U2, ARREN’s music is defined by its emotional honesty, cinematic arrangements, and an uplifting live energy that connects deeply across genres and generations.

A proven live draw, ARREN’s highlights include two sold-out headline shows at Dublin’s iconic Whelan’s. His dynamic performances have graced renowned venues like Sin É and The Sound House, as well as the Stoneybatter & Dun Laoghaire Festival, alongside coveted support slots for artists including ALKY, Rob Clamp, and Static Vision.

Industry momentum is building rapidly. ARREN’s recent releases have earned airplay on Clare FM and prominent placements on major Spotify playlists, including Goldenplec, FMC’s Made in Ireland, and RaggedCast. Press outlets are taking notice, with The Other Side Reviews praising his ability to “combine vintage sounds with modern-day execution,” and McGig Music noting his work “captures a universal sentiment with a fresh, engaging sound.” Last summer, his music video for "It Takes One to Know" peaked at #3 on Pure Magazine’s Fresh Top 20 Music Videos in Ireland.

Currently touring and releasing new material throughout 2026 ahead of his highly anticipated debut album, ARREN is anchored by his latest single, "Rising Sun", a cinematic, warm, and romantic folk tune that captures the bittersweet beauty of leaving home while honouring the love and legacy of one's parents. Poised for a breakout year, ARREN brings a heartfelt, high-energy acoustic performance ready to command any stage.
