Delighted to announce the return of JohnLuke in Mike the Pies on Thursday 12th November 2026. A night you sure definitely don’t want to miss.

Since Johnluke’s debut single “Already Been Told”, released in March 2024, this folk-pop ballad quickly set the pathway for the emerging singer. Now, with a chain of singles under his belt—including the viral TikTok fan favourite City Lovin’, Royalty, Letters, Change Me, Green Eyes, Have Tonight, Pretty, Nervous and his recent release “Could Be Dancin” which followed his most hard-hitting song about road safety “Angry in the Moment”— Johnluke’s musical signature is genre bending with a mix of pop, rock, folk, and country, paired with a natural passion for storytelling. Which include heartfelt lyrics from personal experiences from love and heart break, mental health and hard-hitting subjects incorporating captivating melodies creating a soulful sound that resonates with listeners of all ages.

Which has left them eager to get their hands on his Debut EP in 2025 – Comical Romance Vol.1. The next volume from this comical Romance EP series will be out in late 2026. Speaking of songs, he’s been working with some great names in terms of writing and producing, Richie McCourt (Ryan Mack, Aimee, Roisin O’, Jazzy) Anna Krantz (Ed Sheeran, Lyra, Cliff Richard) and John Nathaniel (One Republic, Shawn Mendes and Alex Sampson). So big songs continuously in the pipeline.
Now making a name for himself in the industry, particularly since Galway Bay FM named him a finalist for Irish Music Month 2024. More recently, Johnluke was recognized as one of Today FM’s Top 5 Emerging Irish Artists in their campaign “Ireland’s Next Big Busker 2025.” Supported by Dave Moore as his chosen act, he finished as runner-up, raising vital funds in aid of Focus Ireland. Johnluke received support from Miriam O’Callaghan on RTÉ Radio 1, where he performed City Lovin’ and Green Eyes live in Studio 8 for a special session. He made his television debut on Virgin Media One’s The Six O’Clock Show, performing Green Eyes live as part of their “Six Sessions” feature, ahead of its official release. Marked as one to watch from Hot Press Magazine and also featured in an exclusive interview with Metal Magazine Europe.

Johnluke has performed at iconic venues and festivals across Ireland. He has been a regular at Quays Bar (Galway), Mike the Pies (Listowel), and CASK. (Limerick) He made his festival debut at RiverFest in Shannonbridge, supporting LYRA. From May 2025, he played as support for three sold-out shows at Whelan’s Dublin, one with Mark O’Donnell, Simple Things and Jamie McIntyre. Plus, he had the honor of opening up for Paddy Casey for his show in Loughrea. He has also appeared at The Sound House in Dublin as part of their Irish artists showcase for the best rising acts of 2025. The biggest milestone was Johnluke kicking off his headline shows with his three-piece band for his comical romance tour which seen him play to a sold-out audience in Monroe’s Galway and returning to Dublin headlining upstairs at Whelan’s.

The next leg of the tour will continue in November 2026, which will see him return and headline Mike the Pies – Listowel, The Record Room – Limerick, Roisin Dubh – Galway and his biggest Dublin show at The Workman’s Club. Tickets available via ticketmaster.ie and on venue websites.
