Their debut album Gorta will drop on January 15, 2027. The band released the record's first single 'Ribbon Factory' on October 2. In February next year, they will embark on their Gorta tour across Europe and the UK.

EU dates include Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, and Paris. For their UK shows, the band will play stops such as Brighton, Bristol, Glasgow, and London.

The album is named after the Irish word for "hunger." It follows a theme of inheritance.

"What we carry from the generations before us, what we leave behind, and the many forms that hunger can take," a statement about Gorta reads.

Madra Salach released their debut EP, It's a Hell of an Age, in January 2026. The EP reached No. 3 on the Irish Albums Chart and the Top 10 of the UK Official Independent Albums Chart. The group played Electric Picnic in August, and were recently announced as performers for Primavera Sound Barcelona 2027.

They are currently on a sold-out UK tour, with upcoming dates in the US in November. They will also embark on a run of sold-out Irish shows in December.

This includes a show at Dublin's Vicar Street on Thursday, December 10. In June 2027, Madra Salach will support Fontaines D.C. for their Slane Castle gigs.
