We last saw Sprints at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík, just before the ground started shaking. Indeed, the Earth did move for me, and their show was my highlight of all the acts we saw over the festival.

Get ready for a live show packed with raw energy, unfiltered emotion, and a riotous punk spirit. This Dublin-based four-piece has been tearing up the music scene with their ferocious sound, blending the urgency of post-punk with the rebellious fire of garage rock.

Led by the powerhouse Karla Chubb, Sprints are known for their visceral live performances and deeply personal, politically charged lyrics. Their music tackles everything from gender inequality to societal frustration, all delivered with a fierce passion that has earned them a reputation as one of the most vital and exciting bands in modern punk. Their debut album, Letter to Self, released in 2024, solidified their place as a band to watch, packed with cathartic anthems, driving riffs, and an unrelenting intensity.

Having shared stages with bands like Yard Act, Shame, and The Murder Capital, Sprints have built a dedicated following thanks to their electrifying shows. Whether you’re a long-time fan or about to discover your new favourite band, this is one set you won’t want to miss.
