Singer-songwriter and producer Blackbear is coming to the Olympia Theatre this October in support of his latest album ‘Anonymous’.

blackbear paid his dues working with the likes of Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Childish Gambino, Linkin Park, and  Justin Bieber, he co-wrote the 6x-platinum single “Boyfriend” with his friend and Mansionz collaborator Mike Posner. Blackbear also runs his own label, Beartrap Sound and was the first artist to monetize his own Soundcloud.

“There were hints in my earlier albums of who I really was, but I had a wall up,” he says. “The wall’s been torn down for Anonymous . I’m calling it that because I want to take the ego out of the process. I wanted to make a human album, by a real person, not hide behind the character of this sad ‘blackbear’ guy.”

blackbear at The Olympia Theatre on 28 October. Tickets from €31 including booking and restoration fees go on sale this Friday at 10am.
