Catfish and the Bottlemen's last Irish concert, at the RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin in August 2024, was cancelled alongside a range of other European shows due to illness.

Formed in Wales in 2007, the band currently consists of founding members Ryan Evan 'Van' McCann and Benji Blakeway. They debuted in 2014 with their top ten album The Balcony, winning British Breakthrough Act at the 2016 BRIT Awards.

The group are considered one of the best live acts in modern rock and have amassed over 2 million sales and nearly 10 million single sales.

Tickets for both concerts go on sale Friday, April 11 at 10.00am.  More information can be found here.
