Inhaler:
Predictably bright, sparkling indie rock was delivered to the Main Stage East, courtesy of Dublin’s finest, Inhaler. Though their frontman comes from incredible musical heritage, you too… (see what I did there?) can experience their charming sound for yourself, a sound which is all their own. Though the clouds had begun to encroach over the top of the stage, the sound emanating from it was the perfect soundtrack to a balmy Saturday afternoon, a spark of energy despite perfectly typical Northern weather!
From start to finish, their sound was perfectly tight and well-rehearsed, stringing melodic guitar parts together with well-crafted drum fills. One of the sweetest moments came when the entire crowd sang Happy Birthday to drummer Ryan McMahon, which ended up being one of the biggest sing-alongs of the whole set! Parental notoriety aside, these guys have crafted a niche that is all their own, and as a result they pulled one of the biggest crowds early doors!
