DF Concerts Presents: Le Boom

Hailing from Navan Ireland, Le Boom are two brothers making high energy dance music who's sound has been described as “4am chats with your mates".

Emerging from secret raves, the infectious energy of their live performance  has prompted lightning-fast sellouts for dates across Europe including a sold-out 3000 capacity warehouse show in Dublin, two sold out nights at the 3Olympia as well as sold out shows in London and Spain. After appearances at festivals like Forbidden Fruit, All Together Now, Secret Garden Party & Latitude, Le Boom captured euphoria on their latest singles ‘Orange Glow’ and ‘Class’. The  spoken word lyricism offers cathartic contrast between tongue-in-cheek narration & iridescent synth work. The tracks garnered national radio play in the UK and Ireland with notable support from Pete Tong, Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
