Catfish and the Bottlemen today add a new live date to what is shaping up to be an epic summer of performances for the multi-platinum-selling, BRIT Award-winning, stadium-filling giants. Returning to Ireland for the first time in five years, they will play RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin on Saturday 31 August.
The show is a welcome reunion with one of the band's loudest fanbases, and excitement will be at an all-time high for their first visit since 2019. Tickets go on general sale at 10:00 BST this Friday May 10. here. Sign up to receive pre-sale tickets here.
The Dublin concert announcement follows news that Catfish and the Bottlemen sold out their biggest show to date, at Liverpool's 32,000-capacity Sefton Park, just a week after going on sale. The Liverpool show comes ahead of three huge outdoor shows in Cardiff and Edinburgh, announced last month, all of which sold out in minutes, as well as their epic return to the main stage at Reading & Leeds Festival, which they are headlining for the second time around .
Catfish and the Bottlemen's sonic vision has cemented their place among the most successful British bands of the 21st century. Signed to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony rocketed into the UK Top 10 and helped them land British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their historic number one album with The Ride. . Since then, they have racked up over a billion streams, two million album sales, and are approaching 10 million single sales. On stage, Van McCann possesses a unique magnetic energy and is considered one of the great live leaders of modern rock. In the five years since the release of their debut album, they have sold over half a million tickets and played to over 2 million people.
With anthemic, stadium-ready new single 'Showtime' and an epic live summer ahead, Van McCann is back where he belongs: headlining festivals, finishing a new album and beginning a dynamic and exciting new era for Bagre and the bottlers.
