Tia Burke
Tia Burke is a powerhouse Irish vocalist, songwriter and frontwoman, delivering electrifying performances with her four-piece band. Hailing from Kildare, she has captivated sold-out crowds at the 3Olympia Theatre and Electric Picnic, winning audiences over with her hypnotic blend of charm, haunting vocals and high-energy stage presence.
From her early days as a solo busker to commanding full-band performances, Tia has earned several busking awards, including Newbridge Junefest, The Edenderry Festival and Three for All Music City Stages. This recognition led to a career-defining moment when she was handpicked by critically acclaimed UK artist Self Esteem to open her sold-out show at 3Olympia in February 2023. Her many early career accomplishments include playing Electric Picnic, supporting Luka Bloom (Red Hot Music Club – Fallons) and sharing the stage with one of her idols, Nick Cave in what she jokingly refers to as her “Courtney Cox moment”.
Over the past two years, Tia has been refining her sound through collaborations with producers across Europe, crafting a bold fusion of 80s nostalgia and modern pop—defined by soaring choruses, classic synth textures and dance-infused rhythms. Now fronting a full band under her name, she has brought this explosive new energy to the stage, earning rave audience reactions at recent performances in The Grand Social and Fibbers.
With a relentless drive to take her music to bigger stages, Tia has her sights set on the festival circuit, securing major support slots and ultimately headlining her own shows.
Her songwriting is influenced by Kate Bush, Tears For Fears and Aurora, while her powerful, emotive vocals draw comparisons to modern greats like Florence Welch and Dolores O’Riordan. Recognized as an emerging talent, she is frequently featured in Hot Press, 3Mobile, VIP Magazine Online and regional media outlets.
With high-energy performances, a commanding stage presence, and a rapidly growing fanbase, Tia Burke is an artist on the rise—one to watch, and one you won’t forget.
