’90s Indie-rock act Gene have announced additional dates for their comeback tour celebrating their debut album ‘Olympian’ including a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre for March 2026. Theses shows will be Gene’s first live appearances since December 2004, and will feature Gene’s classic line-up of Martin Rossiter (vocals), Matt James (drums), Steve Mason (guitars) and Kevin Miles (bass).

“All four of us met up, probably for the first time since our last gig, and it immediately felt just like it had always been,” explains Matt James. “We were always very self-depreciating as a group and the banter quickly kicked back in. After a few quips barked across the pub table we relaxed and we all laughed a lot. Straightaway it felt like we were a band again. We’ve just to make sure we can do it musically now too.”

The band’s debut album, Olympian, arrived on March 20th 1995 with singles such as ‘Sleep Well Tonight’, ‘Haunted By You’ helping it reach the UK Top 10. but fans can expect a setlist from all ends of the band’s output.

“Olympian’s anniversary is a good reason for doing it, but we’re looking forward to playing songs from all of our career,” says James. “It is going to be a lot fun playing as Gene again.”
