Pier
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
23 May 2026
Pier returns in 2026 with Burgundy, the first single from his upcoming The Daisy EP, playing Whelan's Upstairs on Saturday 23 May 2026 with support from Molly Donnery.

An emotional ebb and flow of love, loss, anger, and everything in between, Pier’s songs live in contrast, moving from near whispers to full-lung outbursts. His voice knows when to hold back and when to break through, carrying a steady, unguarded sense of vulnerability.

Born Pierfrancesco Dessì and raised in Sarroch, a small town on Sardinia’s southern coast, Pier’s relationship with music developed quietly. After dropping out of architecture studies, he moved to Finland, spending time working in a metal mechanics factory, before relocating to Ireland, where he has lived for the past eight years and become part of Dublin’s vibrant music scene.
