Needy Pet
Dundalk’s own glam-punk band, Needy Pet, will take to the stage for their first headline show at The Spirit Store on Saturday, 28 February 2026. Doors open at 8:00 PM, with tickets priced at €10, available at the venue or online here.
The night will also feature a lineup of local talent, including singer-songwriters Alice Robinson and Clara Byrne, alongside the rising shoegaze band Nightlamping.
Formed in 2024 and inspired by a retriever-labrador mix named Alfie, Needy Pet has quickly made a name for themselves across the North East. Highlights include supporting the legendary Outcasts at The Spirit Store and releasing their first two singles, “Mental Health” and “Alpha Male”, in 2025.
Their music draws on ‘70s glam rock, proto-punk, and grunge, delivering high-energy performances with socially conscious themes.
