Esmeralda Road announced as special guests for Paul Weller show at Fairview Park
Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.ie.
Esmeralda Road have been announced as special guests for Paul Weller's show at Fairview Park, Dublin, on June 28.
The Belfast band was formed during frontman Charlie Magill, drummer Aodhan Moran and keyboardist Josh Vance's final years in school under the name Moonboot, before changing it to Esmeralda Road.
A few months later, bassist Calvin Wells and guitarist Ben Murray joined the group.
In March 2023, the group released their debut single, ‘To U’, which won Single of the Year at the Northern Ireland Music Prize.
The five-piece indie-jazz band from Belfast performed at The Grand Social's Gig For Gaza and at Electric Picnic last year.
As part of Hot Press's special Festival Voices series, Esmeralda Road spoke to us ahead of their performance at Electric Picnic.
"It's the buzz you look forward to, isn't it," said Chalie Magill. "You meet interesting people, especially at a festival that big - and being in a band at our level, you have a real chance to win people over."
A Hot For 2025 group, they have also supported both Liam Gallagher and Primal Scream on the Irish legs of their tours.
Paul Weller's show is in support of his most recent album, Find El Dorado.
Rated an 8/10 by Hot Press, the record is a collection of covers featuring various special guests, such as Noel Gallagher, Robert Plant and Declan O'Rourke.
Tickets are available here.
