Madra Salach announce extra Dublin and Belfast tour dates

Alternative folk six-piece Madra Salach have announced new Dublin and Belfast shows as part of their It's A Hell of an Age Irish 2026 tour. The additional gigs are set to take place on April 7 and 8 at The Workman's Club as well as May 1 at Black Box.

The news precede the release of the band's debut EP, of the same name as the tour, coming out 23 January. It features their recent singles 'I Was Just A Boy' and 'Blue & Gold' released in 2025. The band is also set to play at this year's TradFest, ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) in Groningen, the Netherlands, and The Great Escape festival in Brighton and Hove, England.

Last year saw Madra Salach play several festival sets across the country, such as Forest Fest and All Together Now. They have also performed at gigs like Outside the Meadows and Ceol For Connoly in Vicar Street.

Madra Salach are made up of members Paul Banks (vocals), Adam Cullen (guitar), Jack Martin (mandolin/tin whistle/synth), Maxime Arnold (harmonium), Dara Duffy (drums), and Jack Lawlor (bass) from bands Fizzy Orange, Ten Hail Mary’s, and Sultan Leroy.
