Catfish and the Bottlemen announce Dublin headline this summer

Indie rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen will return to Ireland for the first time in five years with a Dublin headline at RDS Simmonscourt on August 31, marking the glorious reunion with one of the band’s most enthusiastic fanbases.

After selling out their biggest show yet at Liverpool’s 32,000 capacity Sefton Park in less than a week, Catfish and the Bottlemen are gearing up for an epic summer of performances, including a long-awaited return to the Reading & Leeds Festival mainstay and three open air shows in Cardiff and Edinburgh.

One of Britain’s most successful bands of the 21st Century, the arena-filling giants found their start after signing to Island Records back in 2014 when their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10. Since then, the group have gone on to win the BRIT Award for British Breakthrough Act, score a landmark No. 1 album with The Ride, and amass over one billion streams, two million album sales and nearly 10 million single sales.

Armed with the anthemic, stadium-ready new single ‘Showtime’, Catfish and The Bottlemen are sure to deliver a thrilling performance this summer in Dublin. Tickets for the RDS Simmonscourt headline will be on sale from 10am on Friday, May 10 via Ticketmaster.
