Athlete announce Irish dates

Doubtless overjoyed at being featured in Hot Press’ Sounding Off section, Athlete have confirmed April visits to the Spring & Airbrake, Belfast (15) and Ambassador, Dublin (16).

Tickets priced £15 and €22.50 alternately are on sale now.

The latest band to be tarred with the “new Coldplay” brush, the quartet will be plugging their Tourist album which looks certain to go top 5 this week.
