About The Event
MCD Presents
Devlin
April 24th
The Grand Social
_______________
"If being an outcast means to live on the fringes, refusing to follow the herd, Devlin might be the defintion of the word. The mercurial MC, 15 years into a career that’s spanned gold-selling albums and Top 10 hits without straying from his underground roots, has never been interested in trends, a fact underlined on his take-no-prisoners grime riot of a new record.
“I called it The Outcast ‘cos I just do me. I’ve never really been ‘in’ or part of something bigger than myself. I’m not like anything else out there. I play by my own rules. It’s not me to be a sheep,”. The album is made up of 13 breathless tracks long, it’s a lean, mean musical Molotov cocktail that, after the emotional purge of 2017’s acclaimed The Devil In, sees the 29-year-old returns to the punishing high-velocity flows and menacing beats of his early days.
“No glitz, no glamour, just venomous lyrics and dirty beats made in a dark, smoky room, just getting in the booth and doing what needs to be done,” the Dagenham master grins. Follow the herd? Devlin has spent his decade and a half in the game leading it.
Devlin will play the Grand Social on Wednesday 24th April with tickets from €16.45 incl. booking fee on sale Friday 1st March at 10am from Ticketmaster
Strictly over 18’s
