Inhaler postpone Manchester gig due to illness

Inhaler have announced the postponement of their O2 Apollo gig in Manchester this evening.

The band posted on X to say they are "absolutely gutted to have to announce that due to illness we've had to postpone tonight's show in Manchester."

"We were all so excited to be celebrating the end of a great tour with you all but we promise to come back to Manchester and play the show for you very soon," Inhaler wrote. "The show is in the process of being rescheduled."

The Manchester show was to be the last concert in the current leg of their world tour before the band moved on to North America. The tour celebrates Inhaler's third album, Open Wide, which launched on February 7 and hit number one in Irish charts earlier this week.

No other concerts have been cancelled or postponed at time of writing.

The Dublin band formed in 2012, with current members Elijah Hewson, Robert Keating, Josh Jenkinson, and Ryan McMahon. Their debut album, It Won't Always Be Like This, shot to number one in both UK and Irish charts on its release in July 2021. Their latest long-player, Open Wide, has once again hit the top spot here and is discussed in detail in the bumper Inhaler interview, which can be found in the new issue of Hot Press, available now from https://shop.hotpress.com/collections/hot-press-volume-49-issue-02

In it, the chaps also give us their thoughts on the racist Dublin riots, American politics, the Arctic Monkeys, their Slane day out with Harry Styles, the A Complete Unknown movie, their transatlantic girlfriends, the Hewson family band and lots more!
