Streek's lyricism is known for discussion of Irish sociopolitical commentary and social justice, with his track 'Death to the Landlord' having over 200,000 streams on Spotify.

The Dublin-based producer emerged in Europe's post-punk scene with his debut album 796 (2022). The album mixes the hardcore genre with electronic and traditional Irish sounds, cementing the artist as a force in the UK and Irish hardcore scene.

The Songs for The Deceased Tour will conclude with a show in Belfast on November 30 at Ulster Sports Bar.

Streek's Dublin performance is ages 18+ with tickets starting at €14.50 and go on sale August 16. More information regarding the show can be found here.
