HamsandwicH to mark 20th anniversary with 3Olympia Theatre show

Following the release of their latest album Magnify, Meath indie-rockers HamsandwicH are returning to the 3Olympia Theatre on Saturday 21st October 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s formation.

HamsandwicH are well known for their incendiary live performances which has established them as one of the top touring acts in the country. Featuring Niamh Farrell's powerful but sweet vocal, Podge McNamee's juxtaposing baritone, and Darcy’s soaring guitar riffs, HamsandwicH earned a reputation as an incendiary live act.

Magnify, the Kells band’s 4th studio album, has been praised by critics and fans alike with songs 'Electro-Wave', 'Le Soleil', 'All My Blood', 'Julian', and 'Good Friday' all receiving radio play and streaming numbers.

"Cheerful, charming synthpop and layers of psychedelia, Americana, country, rock, indie and more elevate Magnify to higher plains, HamsandwicH gearing up to be the soul of the party," Hot Press' review of the 10-track project declared.

“Magnify is a new type of record for us”, says the band’s lead guitarist and arranger Darcy. “There’s a bit of indie electro dance on it but it also has lots of nods to our older stuff people will recognise, which we felt was important. The album deals with human connections and examining old and new relationships, making peace with the past while also reaching out to those needing to be heard more who might be a bit lost."

Their previous album Stories From the Surface debuted at #1 on Ireland’s official album chart - the first time an unsigned Irish act accomplished this feat - and the band have opened for heavyweight international artists such as Arcade Fire and Pixies.

Having previously sold out Dublin’s prestigious 3Olympia Theatre three times, they have also played on the main stages at the Electric Picnic and Longitude Festival. Additionally, they have performed at the legendary Slane Castle with Bon Jovi, and were personally invited by Mumford & Sons to support them in Phoenix Park.

Tickets from €29.40 including booking fees on sale Monday 19th December at 10am.
