Belfast rock duo Dea Matrona have announced a slew of live dates across the UK and Ireland this May.

The For Your Sins tour will see Dea Matrona play Galway, Cork, Dublin and Belfast as part of the Irish leg tour.

The group's debut album For Your Sins, has been billed for a May 3 release date, coinciding with the launch of their 2024 tour, which will kick off in Liverpool.

The Irish dates will fall between May 18- May 22, and will see the musicians finishing up in their home city of Belfast.

Last week the Northern musicians released their second single off their upcoming LP- a track titled 'Black Rain'.

With its dark and moody demeanour, “Black Rain” opens with a low guitar strum before transcending into a rock banger.

'Black Rain' marks the second offering off Dea Matrona's upcoming album, the first being 'Stuck on You'.

Speaking on the album as a whole, the band added the following :“It’s a record about trying to find ourselves & failing over & over again until we realised that part of the fun of being in Dea Matrona is that we’ll never really know who we are or what we want to say”.

Dea Matrona comprises two school friends, Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe, who grew up busking to their favourite rock ‘n’ roll anthems on the streets of Belfast covering the likes of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Homeward Bound’. They have amassed an online community of over 500,000 followers and racked up over 8 million views on YouTube.
