The Gaslight Anthem reform, announce National Stadium Dublin show

The Gaslight Anthem have announced their return to the road with their first headline tour in four years - including a Dublin show at The National Stadium on 23rd August 2022.

The band is currently working on new music for their sixth LP, the quartet announced today on social media. It will mark their first album in seven years, with a deluxe version of Get Hurt landing back in 2014.

Fallon first apologised that Gaslight Anthem would not be doing a 10th anniversary tour for their 2012 album, Handwritten, but then followed it up with the news that they were back.

“I am very pleased to announce to you all that The Gaslight Anthem is returning to full time status as a band,” said frontman Brian Fallon. “We’re also beginning to write new songs for what will be our sixth LP. We’re looking forward to the future and seeing you all again. We want to thank you for staying with us.”

Hello everyone, Brian here. I hate to disappoint you, but I need to inform you that there will not be a 10th anniversary Handwritten Tour, or a documentary… However, I am very pleased to announce to you all that The Gaslight Anthem is returning to full time status as a band. pic.twitter.com/XtAZEDOWdw

The Gaslight Anthem is composed of Brian Fallon (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Alex Rosamilia (lead guitar, backing vocals), Alex Levine (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Benny Horowitz (drums, percussion, backing vocals).

The New Jersey rock band announced an indefinite hiatus back in 2015 following their European summer tour. Since then, Fallon has continued to release solo material while the band briefly reunited in 2018 for a string of shows to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their seminal second LP The ’59 Sound, after which they resumed their hiatus.

Fan presale for the headline tour begins tomorrow at 10am local time, while the public on-sale kicks off this Thursday, March 31st at 10am local.

Meanwhile, Fallon is gearing up to head out on a UK and European tour next month. Fallon’s last album came in the form of 2020’s Local Honey, a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis - known for his work with the likes of The National, Death Cab For Cutie, Interpol and Frightened Rabbit.

The frontman will kick off the ‘Local Honey’ tour in Frankfurt on April 26, before heading across the continent for a lengthy series of dates that will conclude at Nottingham’s Rock City on May 28.
