Matt McBriar of Bicep treated for ‘large and pretty rare’ brain tumour


Acclaimed Northern Irish dance music producer says he has had operation on craniopharyngioma tumour and is in recovery

Matt McBriar, one half of successful Northern Irish dance music duo Bicep, has announced he is receiving treatment for a “large and pretty rare” brain tumour. McBriar, 38, detailed his illness and treatment in an Instagram post, explaining he had begun to experience fatigue and headaches towards the end of 2023, with resultant scans showing a craniopharyngioma tumour on his pituitary gland. Playing a thickly atmospheric form of breakbeat-driven techno, Bicep have become icons to a generation of young ravers thanks to their melodic production and visually arresting live sets.
