Pretty Happy to open for Kim Gordon in UK/European tour this summer

The European tour precedes Pretty Happy's upcoming EP and includes dates at Primavera Sound & Pro in Barcelona.

Pretty Happy - the Cork Art-Punk trio who relish in absurdity - will be touring the UK and Europe as Kim Gordon's (Sonic Youth, Body/Head) opening act.

Earlier this year, they've been seen starting the show for Gilla Band and Future Islands. Now they'll be bringing their theatrical performances to major cities such as London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris - plus the Primavera Sound & Pro in Barcelona.

This tour will precede the release of the Pretty Happy's upcoming EP to be recorded by Spud Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi) in Hellfire Studios. Expect new singles from the EP to begin releasing in the upcoming months.

Combining a gift for absolute absurdity with immense musical talent, the Cork art-punk trio are one of Hot Press' Hot For 2022 Irish Acts. The group are rapidly establishing themselves as one of the most keenly watched acts in the country.

Following the singles ‘Salami’ and ‘Sea Sea Sea’, the band released their four-track Sluggers Bridge EP in July. After fitting in some lauded live performances in between lockdowns, they were selected as Gilla Band’s special guests for their New Year’s Eve show in Dolans Warehouse.
