Swedish rapper Bladee has announced a headline performance at The Academy in Dublin on December 14, 2025.
Bladee, known for his unique blend of experimental rap and electronic music, first rose to prominence in 2013 with self-released projects that steered clear of mainstream hip-hop scenes. Based in Stockholm, his music is heavily influenced by internet subcultures. Bladee is also a founding member of Drain Gang, a Swedish collective formed with childhood friends Thaiboy Digital, Ecco2k, and Whitearmor.
His extensive discography includes three mixtapes, five EPs, four collaborative albums, and two studio albums. Bladee’s 2014 debut mixtape Gluee and his 2016 album Eversince marked the early evolution of his style. His 2018 album Icedancer further refined his signature blend of electronic and rap production.
The rapper’s latest release, a three-track EP titled Ste the Beautiful Martyr 1st Attempt, came out on April 30.
Bladee is known for frequent collaborations with producers like Whitearmor, Yung Sherman, Gud, and Ripsquad.
In addition to his music career, Bladee is also a visual artist, with his work featured at The Residence Gallery in London. He serves as the creative director for Sandboys Gear, a clothing brand created by his friend and fellow Drain Gang member Yung Lean.
