LE BOOM on Immersive Shows, Irish Identity & Community (#294)

LE BOOM's Christy Leech joins Mark Millar on the XS Noize Podcast ahead of the duo's 360° immersive floor show at Limelight 1, Belfast.

Christy explains how secret raves and unconventional venues inspired LE BOOM to perform in the middle of the audience, removing the separation between the band and the crowd. He also recalls an unforgettable show on a boat in Sydney Harbour and discusses the community that has developed around LE BOOM's live performances.

The conversation explores Christy's creative partnership with his brother Andy, combining electronic music with spoken word, and embracing their Irish identity through writing and performing in the Irish language. Christy also discusses the story behind "BUACHAILLÍ," LE BOOM's gradual rise from intimate parties to sold-out shows, and reveals that the duo have finished an album.

LE BOOM's 360° immersive floor show, with special guests Grooveline, takes place at Limelight 1, Belfast, on Saturday, 8 August 2026.
