VERA

Rising out of Belfast’s alt scene, VERA are building a reputation that’s hard to shake. Their sound weaves together indie textures, pop hooks, and alt-rock intensity, creating something both intimate and explosive. Unfiltered and emotionally charged, their lyrics capture the sharp edges of heartbreak and the humour that survives it. Connected by a shared chaotic creative vision, VERA channel that energy into performances that feel raw, immersive, and alive.

The band connected with audiences quickly, with their first single ‘No Help From You’ receiving a play on BBC Radio 1. Subsequent releases have seen support from BBC Introducing, Today FM, RTÉ, Amazing Radio, Hot Press and GoldenPlec amongst others. On streaming platforms VERA have over 2k monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly 100k combined streams across their catalogue.

The band are currently working on their debut album - set to release towards the end of 2026. This will cement the reputation and momentum built up by their single releases to-date, positioning them to engage with labels and booking agents and expand their audience in the coming 18 months.

Known for energetic and unpredictable live shows, VERA have built a strong early following in Belfast, selling out their last hometown headliner. With sights set on building their audience across Ireland and beyond, the band performed a filmed set at Whelan’s Ones To Watch for RTE 2FM this year - quickly being asked back for Whelans’ St Patrick’s Day Full Irish event.
