Zoé Basha at Howth Roots & Blues Festival 2026
Vibe
Howth Roots & Blues’ Friday headline: Americana folk frontwoman Zoé Basha hits the stage at 8pm.
People who come for proper Americana/roots songwriting will be right at home—less clubby, more sing-along concert energy. The draw is Zoé Basha’s headline slot (8pm after doors at 7.30), ideal if you want vocals and story over DJs. Expect an all-ages festival crowd rather than an underground one.
Our Friday Night headline this year is Americana singer Zoé Basha and her band. Her debut album ‘Gamble’ - self-released in April 2025 - was awarded ‘Folk Album of The Month’ by The Guardian, and received 4-star reviews on RTE Radio 1 Arena. Basha’s debut album and title track were shortlisted for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in two categories: Best Folk Album, and Best American Roots Performance. Doors 7.30pm. On stage 8pm.
