Basement announces shows in Belfast and Dublin as part of Wired tour

British rock band Basement have announced shows in Belfast and Dublin as part of their 2027 European and UK tour.

They will perform at Belfast’s The Limelight 1 on February 21 and Dublin’s National Stadium on February 22.

The news follows the release of Wired, their first album in eight years, in May.

Basement, formed in 2009, consists of vocalist Andrew Fisher, drummer James Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix and bassist Duncan Stewart.

They released their debut album I Wish You Could Stay Here, in 2011. Before their follow-up album, Colourmeinkindness, could hit shelves, the group decided to disband so Andrew Fisher could get his teaching degree.

In 2014, they reformed and released two more records, Promise Everything in 2016 and Beside Myself in 2018.

The band released Wired “after some deep conversations that reaffirmed their creative alliance,” according to a press release.

Wired, according to the band, “speaks to Basement’s unshakeable tenacity. Five friends who’ve persisted through several breakups and breakthroughs but have only grown as people and evolved as a musical unit.”

In January, they supported Turnstile during their tour dates in Australia and New Zealand. This summer, they’ve appeared at festivals such as Outbreak Fest in London and Rock im Park in Germany. They are also set to perform at Canela Party in Spain this month.

In October, Basement will kick off the North American leg of their Wired tour with dates across the US.

Tickets for their Belfast and Dublin shows go on sale Friday at 10 am here.
