LISA O'NEILL

Known for her distinctive voice, her fearless songwriting, and her captivating stage presence, O’Neill has become one of the most important and respected figures in contemporary folk music.

Her songs weave together history, politics, compassion, and myth, and are performed with a rare emotional honesty that has earned her widespread critical acclaim.

Lisa’s work has been internationally acclaimed, with BBC 6 Music, The Guardian, Mojo, Uncut, NPR, The Irish Times, and The New York Times hailing her as one of the greats of our time.

The audience can look forward to songs from her acclaimed repertoire, alongside newer works that continue her tradition of giving a voice to the unheard and overlooked. Two of O’Neill’s songs were featured in the acclaimed television series “Peaky Blinders”—“Blackbird,” an original composition, and an adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses,” which provided the soundtrack for the epic drama’s final scene.

This debut headlining performance in Berlin offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Ireland’s most significant contemporary songwriters in the intimate, atmospheric setting of the Theater im Delphi.
