His breakthrough came in summer 2024 with “Over Galway Town,” a viral hit that amassed over 50 million TikTok views and 7.5 million Spotify streams, reaching audiences worldwide. That momentum led to major live opportunities including Electric Picnic and support slots with Jamie Webster at venues such as Dublin’s 3Olympia and Belfast’s Telegraph Building. McIntyre’s career continued to accelerate with sold-out headline shows across Ireland, including Dublin, Limerick, and Galway. His EP Chapter 23 strengthened his fanbase, with tracks like “West is Home” and “Grá” gaining millions of streams, followed by his EP ‘For Folk’s Sake’,which introduced fan favourite “Melbourne” and a sold-out Irish and UK tour. In 2026, he expanded further with 10 sold-out Irish dates, UK headline shows at The Camden and King Tuts, and tours alongside The 502s. With new releases like “17 Again” and “Off to America,” McIntyre continues to build a career rooted in storytelling, home, and Irish identity, becoming a defining voice in modern folk-inspired music
