Big Sleep partly came together at school, and others later joined through Dublin’s live music scene. With indie-pop qualities that blend alternative rock, pop, and indie-soul, the Irish-Italian outfit cite artists like Big Thief, JJ Cale and The Cure as influences.

The past twelve months have seen the band release their Stay Put Sunshine EP, play major festivals including Electric Picnic and All Together Now, sell out Dublin’s 600-cap Button Factory. Internationally, Big Sleep are on the rise, with sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. With their debut album Holy Show set for release on 30 January 2026 with LAB Records, Big Sleep cement themselves as one of Ireland’s most exciting new exports.

"A blend of pop/rock urgency and fuzzy catharsis."
